Thanksgiving Morning Riddle

I am building a bear; or preserving its height;
I am things you can own; when in astronauts, right;
To shove food in your face; compress files by the byte;
And put bread in the turkey for dinner tonight!

Who am I?

    Stuff?

  2. Bill Says:

    That is correct. Asher has the right STUFF!

    Line 1: To stuff a toy animal; or a real one, using taxidermy
    Line 2: Your stuff; The Right Stuff
    Line 3: Stuff your face; stuff files using Stuffit
    Line 4: Stuff a turkey

    Happy Thanksgiving!

    “stuff files using Stuffit” was the one that threw me slightly. I’m not familiar with Stuffit.

  4. Bill Says:

    Stuffit compresses files on your computer. They will then take up less space on your hard drive, though you can’t use them in that format.

    When you want to access them again, you can use another application called Stuffit Expander to restore your files to their previous size and utility.

    It’s useful for when you want to archive files that you don’t need anymore but don’t want to delete entirely. It was also very useful for downloading files during the dial-up days. You could just download the smaller stuffed file and then expand it after the download completed.
