Immutable Rules of the DAZ Universe - Add Your Own!

The more I work with DAZ, the more I can't help but feel that our Mikes, Vickies and Aikos all seem to live in an alternate universe which, while it looks a lot like our own, has really some odd little differences. Here are a few I've noted, but please feel free to add your own:
High heels are appropriate female attire for almost every activity, including swimming, mountan climbing, traveling in outer space and spelunking, and apparently have been so for thousands of years before heels were even invented in our reality.
Removable genitalia. 'nuff said.
Toilets may not actually have lids that open, and even if they do, run a good chance of not having any seats anyway.
An unusually large percentage of the population live in Loft apartments, while others live in houses and apartments without doors, and even more live in rooms that are missing at least one wall.
Women apparently get some kind of financial kick back from minimizing the use of fabric in their clothing, which has made weird hole placement very popular. Men, on the other hand, are apparently forced to scrimp by only being able to buy from an extremely limited selection of shoes.
Hair colors naturally come in almost every shade of the rainbow as long as we're talking about the hair on one's head. Eyebrow colors, on the other hand, either do not or there is a significantly smaller percentage of natural blondes and redheads than in our world.
There are no fuel efficient economy cars, and almost everyone who can drive owns either a luxury sprots care, a big truck or a military vehicle.
The average family has 0.000035 children.
To be rich, you don't have to own a mansion. A pool and the facade of the back of a mansion will do just as well.
There is a magic paint that you can put on almost anything to change both it's color and texture, but the majority of windows cannot be opened or closed.
Dragons are more popular pets than dogs or cats.
The most common professions are working in Food Services, Businessperson, Barbarian, Space Floozy, Soldier, Undead Hellspawn, Post Apocalyptic Warrior, Android, Wereperson and Alien.
There are more types of cheerleaders than there are types of professional sports.
Only men grow armpit hair.

Dry cleaners add 10 times as much starch to men's clothes as they do to women's clothes, thus tube sleeves.
I would like you to direct me to said armit hair!

"I'm only going to mess around with this Poser/DAZ stuff until our MOD for Unreal Tournament needs to be refreshed"
-me, too many years ago.
All I want at this hour of this day, apart from Griffon 8 (clearly griffons are not popular pets so just let me dream), are proper ice hockey and lacrosse sets for G8M!
What does not get used in the sleeves is reserved for the pant legs.
All Daz characters exert an extremely strong magnetic field, which allows them to attach armor and unsheathed, bladed weapons directly to their bodies.
Look on top of an armit.
All men's formal suits are made of spandex, or sprayed on thickly.
Obesity must, invariably, be pertinent to the plot. Ditto every other physical failure-to-runway.
Almost nobody has a closet. Armoires, wardrobes, dressers yes, but very rarely do you ever see a closet door.
I love that product and use it all the time but the armpits are the one area where it falls a little short.
they are all contortionists and can defy gravity with their poses
"How was work, Mike?"
"Dang it, Vicky, I really can't keep doing this Hellspawn gig much longer. The pay is terrible, the job site's always too hot, and I don't think my geografts fit me any more! No way the boss is going to order new ones!"
"Let me bring you a Cursed Chalice of whiskey from the Temple. That'll help you feel better."
"Bring it out to the City Condo Deck beside the pool, and while you're in the Temple, don't forget to hang your Sword up. I'll see if there's any openings for Android Barbarians in this week's paper."
because most women's feet are frozen in a tip-toe pose.
What is a closet? I don't come across anything in real life that fits that word in UK English. So not having a 'closet' is natural and normal, not just in the DAZ universe. If you mean a walk in wardrobe - well, real houses here are too small to have one, so modelling one is outside the scope of most UK and European modeller's daily experience so it's not thought about. Obviously I can't explain why North American modeller's don't model them.
I think I want to see a render of this. :)
Women walk around with their feet arched, and a permanent curve to the spine and rears thrust out.
Men's hairlines are routinely mistaken for women's hairlines
No one has kids, and if they do, they are kinda scary looking
Everyone puts on full war paint makeup for whatever activity they are doing.
Cars, furniture, and rooms are all the wrong size.
Historical figures mostly wore cosplay costumes in the alternative DAZ universe.
All historical female garb showed a lot of cleavage.
Most historical characters owned time machines to go to modern hairdressers.
And only the nobility had furnished homes.
The poor had a large choise of dungeons, though.
As for modern times, there's a bus stop every few yards.
Even though everyone owns a sports car.
Better not get ill in DAZ land, for most medical personel consists of crazy serial killers.
In DAZ land, luxury penthouses are mainly situated in slum alleys, as there are hardly any normal streets. Or poor people's interiors.
Love the idea of this thread, especially the typical professions (I guess I‘d choose hellspawn and maybe space floozy for moonlighting). Can‘t think of any myself right now, but thanks for making me laugh!
Oh, and concerning breast sizes: Maybe it would help just to consider other populations than the US American as role models for Vicky and her friends, because the average cup IS actually A or B in a whole lot of countries world-wide ... (see for instance https://www.worlddata.info/average-breastsize.php). Just sayin‘ ...
Heh, for the most part, every place I've lived in the US has the sliding door small niche type closet, not big enough to really walk in but obviously not standard elsewhere.
Don't forget that trees seem to lack leaves at the ends of their branches, which most of the time stick out as barren black tips.
And cats ars stiff like a wooden doll, compared to real-life cats, which contort like liquid.
Art Nouveau homes only consisted of luxury toilets and had no other rooms.
For the most part, Daz folk can't purchase licensed merchandise, like comic book costumes. They have to make do with lawyer-friendly versions.
The DAZ world is very English. The existence of other languages is mostly an unconfirmed rumour. Apart from futuristic Chinatowns, of course.
And entire nations are non existent.
+ All of that!
If the kids are scary, the babies are downright disturbing.
How many times have I rendered a scene only to realise that the G8 figure's head is about level with the door handle and a bus could drive through the lounge doorway.
And yes, that obsession of pose creators for the weirdly curved spine, protruding behind and tip-toed feet. If I spot those things in the promo pictures I just click away from that page.
...the group King Missile did a song about that.
That said:
Bathrooms as large as (or larger than) the average studio flat, which often have big windows right by the tub to entertain the neighbours.
Everyone apparently flies around in private jets, fighters, spacecraft, or fanciful airships (must be due to the baggage fees and long security lines).
To expand on the above post: Women's office wear must show cleavage.
City and neighbourhood streets so spotless and clean that you could eat right off the roadway.
The vast majority of loft apartments do not have toilets; some don't have cooking areas or equipment.
Toilets, with or without opening lids, do not have toilet paper within reach.
Thank you for the laugh.
So many guns and knives furnished with the costume with no way to carry them them when not in use.
In DAZLANDIA'S fantasy world the men are overmuscled and the women undermuscled.
Armor and armaments too heavy and clunky to lift let alone wear and swing in battle.
Womens armor that invarialby leaves bare the most vulnerable parts of the body for no other reason than it is fashionable and or sexy.
Too many modern fashions leave the cleavage evident and the the belly button and buttocks uncovered.
Weapons, there are lots and lots of them... no matter, that actually sounds like our universe.
Foliage, amongst other things has the ability to 'pass-through' solid objects.
Women out-number men 50 to 1.
So few kids is explained by the detachable anatomical elements (anatomical elements probably makes anatomical element education lessons hilarious and time-consuming.)
Most lights and lamps either don't work because they lack cabling, or use magic - or in advanced societies the electric is beamed.
Bathrooms and Bus Stops are incredibly popular: buses and toilet paper less so.
In this universe, the Flat Earth is a reality.
Every man is over 50 and and every woman is 18 or younger.
