Is it a practical example for dealing with a country that is (or at least makes it an open secret that it very probably is) nuclear armed though?

German "denazification" first required complete military defeat and occupation of the German state, that's not really practical to achieve when the country to be occupied has the option to devastate whatever country it's fighting as a deterrent/revenge once it concludes defeat is inevitable. As such, what is needed here I think is examples of how to defuse such a situation and push a population away from violence purely through limited conflict, economic pressure, sponsorship of internal dissent, etc

That calcium-loving one that eats your bones if you touch it?

It really depends actually. It certainly can be those things and often is, it can also be a strange comfort thing (it often doesn't follow biology much at all, so it needn't be realistically harmful and sometimes gets treated as like very unconventional hugs), or just a power fantasy if done from the predator's perspective

Does niche fetish stuff that isnt exactly designed to offend but which would seem scary or disturbing to most people who's brains don't happen to be wired to enjoy it count as transgressive? If so, (a subset of) vore art

I remember having a dream about something like this as a young kid: that someone made an action movie where a race car driver is sent to the chess world somehow, and is blatantly overpowered because they just run over the pieces and can use the car to move when its not their turn.

Meanwhile, I already save all the time used to fold laundry, plus the money to buy a robot, by simply sticking it in the dresser drawers unfolded. Who even decided to make that a thing anyway, not like it makes it cleaner.

If your species showed affection by rubbing against others and you trusted the creature not to step on you, and you were trying to act all sweet to beg for food tho...

Are psychedelics really this popular, or is lemmy just full of people that like them? I had assumed they were a rather niche thing, but the sentiment towards them here today (and not just this post either) seems notably positive, though the descriptions people give sound existentially horrifying to me. Then again, I get anxious enough towards drugs that Ive not even tried alcohol let alone anything less common, so maybe I'm just the weirdo here.

I wouldn't know if like naked mole rats or Sphinx cats or whatever are truly hairless or not, but tbh it doesn't really matter for what I was trying to say.

Depends on the mammal I guess, but sure. But, theres a difference between something being what typically happens, and what is supposed to happen. Were you somehow in charge of designing mammals, and decided that hair should be a crucial aspect of them, then you could say that they are supposed to have hair. But, absent anyone doing this, them having hair is simply how they happen to be and equally as unintended as them not having it, regardless of how overwhelming the percentage that has it is. If anything, one could argue that if a person shaves their hair, or decides not while being given the option, then that person has actively taken charge of designing their own appearance, at least in that regard, and therefore the way they are "supposed" to look is the way they intend to make themselves look.

"supposed" is a bit of a tricky word for biology anyway, given that it implies intent. I guess if one is religious it works, but otherwise, itd be ascribing thought to evolutionary processes that dont seem to have a mechanism for that.

I don't most years, unless a friend really wants to do something with me for it in which case I might go along for their benefit. Not really a holiday person in general though.
