Maybe there’s a simpler solution: perhaps, don’t put your hand on your cat like that, for example? Just a thought…

    I know this is a shit post community. But even in this context: where is the fun in hating on people for wanting to understand things?

      I’m not hating, just pointing out the funniness of the absurdity of their post. Nothing I’ve said is hateful, is it? I’m not a hateful person :)

        Why is the post even absurd? There is an interesting behavioural apsect to this. This does come across as you just finding it ridiculous and are making fun of an innocent question.

          Im not saying there isn’t an interesting behavioural point to it, but I think you’re reading way too much into this, it’s a shitpost. I’m not ‘making fun’, there are a few of funny aspects about this image (the cats face, for example) or the position of the hand that people might find funny (not everyone, but some)

            Never mind man, just found it kind of ironic to see a post complaining about people asking silly questions and needing to get outside more. As if your use of time is any better. You’re just hoping someone will find the position of the hand funny or something.

              What’s wrong with that? Isn’t that literally what everyone who posts here does (see who finds it funny)? I’m not particularly new to this platform so I’m still finding my feet. I post stuff like this to test the waters, so to speak. I expect some of my posts not to be well received, but that’s ok, because I can learn from that. I don’t see what’s so wrong with that?

                Nothing, please I’m interested to see part 3 of people needing to get outside more. You should be able to get plenty of material from your immediate surroundings.
