Ask Lemmy
A Fediverse community for open-ended, thought provoking questions
Rules: (interactive)
1) Be nice and; have fun
Doxxing, trolling, sealioning, racism, toxicity and dog-whistling are not welcomed in AskLemmy. Remember what your mother said: if you can't say something nice, don't say anything at all. In addition, the site-wide Lemmy.world terms of service also apply here. Please familiarize yourself with them
2) All posts must end with a '?'
This is sort of like Jeopardy. Please phrase all post titles in the form of a proper question ending with ?
3) No spam
Please do not flood the community with nonsense. Actual suspected spammers will be banned on site. No astroturfing.
4) NSFW is okay, within reason
Just remember to tag posts with either a content warning or a [NSFW] tag. Overtly sexual posts are not allowed, please direct them to either !asklemmyafterdark@lemmy.world or !asklemmynsfw@lemmynsfw.com.
NSFW comments should be restricted to posts tagged [NSFW].
5) This is not a support community.
It is not a place for 'how do I?', type questions.
If you have any questions regarding the site itself or would like to report a community, please direct them to Lemmy.world Support or email info@lemmy.world. For other questions check our partnered communities list, or use the search function.
6) No US Politics.
Please don't post about current US Politics. If you need to do this, try !politicaldiscussion@lemmy.world or !uspolitics@lemmy.world
7) No Hit-and-Run questions.
Please don't delete your post for no apparent reason. If you plan on deleting a question later, say so in the post, or if you feel that you have a good reason to remove it, message a mod beforehand. It's not fair to the ones who took their time to answer, and it's not in the spirit of the community.
8) No Bots.
Posts or comments from bots, LLM's, AIs, Neural Networks, Transformers, or Marvin the Paranoid Android are not welcome in AskLemmy. Real humans only please.
Reminder: The terms of service apply here too.

Our old girl Chloe (18 - I call her Kitty Bear) is blind now (poor little thing), and spends most of her day on her bed on the couch next to my wife. We feed her on a small plate of food that we bring to her bed, and her dishes get washed after every use. When she is thirsty, she gently puts a paw on my wife's arm, and my wife holds a cup of water to her mouth.
Nothing is too good for our sweet girl. She's the last one standing of a beautiful cat family that lived with us all these years. It started when a big steady tomcat we named Jake befriended my son, moved in, decided we were acceptable, and then went and got his beautiful Siamese girlfriend Maggie (I called her Mama Bear), and their three kittens. No humans were consulted in these decisions.
Chloe (I call her Kitty Bear) is the last one. We wash her food and water dishes every day.
This is so sweet. You are good humans, I can see why you were picked.
We always felt privileged to have such a wonderful cat family to watch grow. They were more entertaining than cable tv.
