5d is a bit silly, people don't call pam signaling 2d just because it involves time and signal intensity. 30k writer seems also optimistic. but it would be mega pog, so wish them success and all that in saving cat pictures.
Writing prompt: And long after the humans had thoroughly extinctified themselves with through silly, frivolous pursuits like "AI data centers" and "shareholder value," nature had returned itself to a pre-industrial state. Eventually, Felis catus rose to evolutionary prominence, despite their largely decorative brains. They had mastered the solar system, and decided to look inwards towards the Earth. A seemingly alien archive from time immemorial was discovered, buried under countless layers of deep strata. Within the facility, they found a trove of billions upon billions of pictures and videos of their primitive ancestors etched within the structure of silicon crystals.
::: spoiler Eventually, in their searches of the archives, they came across a curious poem:
Felis catus is your taxonomic nomenclature,
An endothermic quadruped, carnivorous by nature;
Your visual, olfactory, and auditory senses
Contribute to your hunting skills and natural defenses.
I find myself intrigued by your subvocal oscillations,
A singular development of cat communications
That obviates your basic hedonistic predilection
For a rhythmic stroking of your fur to demonstrate affection.
A tail is quite essential for your acrobatic talents;
You would not be so agile if you lacked its counterbalance.
And when not being utilized to aid in locomotion,
It often serves to illustrate the state of your emotion.
O Spot, the complex levels of behavior you display
Connote a fairly well-developed cognitive array.
And though you are not sentient, Spot, and do not comprehend,
I nonetheless consider you a true and valued friend.
Is there anything TNG can't do? Cat's are very much sentient though. They're just dumb as hell. XD
