Mentioning @Diddlydee@feddit.uk here to address you both in your similar corrections rather than duplicate my reply: I stand corrected.

I see that I had misconstrued my personal misgivings with the penalties of failing to pay with a lack of legal ownership.

It still feels off, precarious, to describe it as ownership to me, but I recognize what you're both saying regarding the legal standing of it all.

hello frog, that is sad to hear, have you tried calling doompost?

(how is there no !doompost??)

Own as in mortgages/loans paid off, I take it? That's the slight distinction I'm thinking of with expensive items that typically can't be bought outright. It's not wholly owned until mortgage/loan is paid off, which you kinda nod towards with your last sentence.

In the vein of houses and cars, yeah. I should get in a better habit of elaborating on ambiguous terms in the body, only haven't as I've mixed experience with people skipping over those.

How does one account for maintenance costs with this view? Even barring taxes, you may have to pay for upkeep either in materials or contracting out services to assist in maintenance.

Thanks for this info! I was unaware of this given how rarely it's mentioned.

Perhaps malleerphobia? Or if being formal-ish, anaspectaphobia?

As in put into regular use and understood in all the various ways they may come to be understood. As compared to a word that one makes up in private that only they understand and may never pass from them into use by anyone else, particularly with their personal understanding/meaning.

However this is meant as a fun question, so you may answer with your ideal conditions in mind. The question is meant to provide a starting point, not set any strict bounds or punitive conditions.

On further thought, adding a couple words to the already kinda long question wasn't too much. I adjusted it to better ask what I had in mind, which was what invented words would you make and have instantly adopted.

Thanks to you & @Brokkr@lemmy.world for your replies. Not sure why but this curiosity was lingering in mind so I thought I'd put the question out there in case there might be some really unique example of such an organism.

I guess it'd have to be a very unique environment to drive such an adaptation, which would be fascinating in itself.

You've understood it right! I wasn't thinking of invertebrates as I was really curious if there might be something strange in-between, but given the other replies here mentioning the same, I think invertebrates may be the closest known of currently.
