Apparently there's no actual evidence to suggest cats can see them. Lame

[-] 18107@aussie.zone 53 points 1 year ago

Even if cats could talk, and could definately see the stripes, I'm convinced that they wouldn't tell anyone.

[-] Crapattf2@lemmy.world 24 points 1 year ago

They'd gossip about them with other cats behind your back

"Kevin's stripes make him look like a moron"

\ Kevin whistling while sweeping the kitchen oblivious to the fact that he has stripes let alone stupid looking ones and that cats can talk

Don't fucking ruin it Gary.

[-] ironeagl@sh.itjust.works 12 points 1 year ago

Their name is Steeve.

[-] GCostanzaStepOnMe@feddit.de 64 points 1 year ago

I know it's the wrong sub for this opinion, but that's a fucking annoying way to post.

[-] jumping_redditor@sh.itjust.works 23 points 1 year ago

It's convenient for mobile users, I can see how it would be frustrating for people with landscape/horizontal monitor though.

[-] ToastedPlanet@lemmy.blahaj.zone 15 points 1 year ago

I am using google chrome and I found that opening the post's image in a new tab, clicking on the image once to zoom in, and then adjusting the zoom setting to 250% made the image easier to view and scroll. I hope that helps.

As aliens describing us? Or a large screenshot?

[-] cubedsteaks@lemmy.today -1 points 1 year ago

desktop here, was easy as hell lol

[-] FarceMultiplier@lemmy.ca 53 points 1 year ago

If cats can see them, then surely we can make tech that converts those wavelengths to one's humans can see, so we can admire each other's stripes.

The only actual use for Apple's Vision Pro headset

[-] InfiniWheel@lemmy.one 3 points 1 year ago

And open whole new untapped method of racism

[-] JackOfAllTraits@lemmy.world 41 points 1 year ago

This is a wild ride

[-] dmention7@lemm.ee 12 points 1 year ago

Try it again while high... I am shook 🤯

[-] healer_56@lemmy.world 41 points 1 year ago

not sure i can follow, but is this true or some collective trolling/joking/pranking or something of the sort ?

[-] ebits21@lemmy.ca 58 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

At least the pattern part seems true.

[-] can@sh.itjust.works 6 points 1 year ago

This should be at the top.

[-] psycho_driver@lemmy.world 33 points 1 year ago

I believe "bruh" is the appropriate gender neutral pronoun.

[-] soviettaters@lemm.ee 4 points 1 year ago

Bruh is interchangable with bro

[-] elxeno@lemm.ee 20 points 1 year ago

How do you do, fellow striped humans?

[-] PissinSelfNdriveway@sh.itjust.works 10 points 1 year ago

Theeee fuck?

[-] InfiniteStruggle@sh.itjust.works 7 points 1 year ago

Anyone know whether we can see these stripes in some way? IR cameras? Ultraviolet spectrum?

[-] Viking_Hippie@lemmy.world 5 points 1 year ago

My Charlotte after I asked her to tell me what kind of stripes I have:

[-] snowyday@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

You guys are twins!

[-] Viking_Hippie@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

Huh?

[-] snowyday@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

Just a little joke that you both have similar markings

like this

[-] Viking_Hippie@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

Fair enough, but that's not me lol 😁

[+] FoundTheVegan@kbin.social -35 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

Sort of off topic. But if you are putting a disclaimer that something is "gender neutral", just use a different word. Y'all? Fam? 😂

For those that say these are inherently gender neutral, how many bros have you slept with? Would you sleep with a man? This is all literally patriarchy. Male isn't the "default" human experience.

[-] yeather@lemmy.ca 29 points 1 year ago

Bro and dude have effectively become gender neutral for referring to someone. It's not patriarchy, it's how a language evolves.

[-] paysrenttobirds@sh.itjust.works -1 points 1 year ago

I agree on dude, and can see bro coming but at present in my daily life bruh is the neutral. And I do hope it wins or else it's mankind all over again

[-] Confused_Emus@lemmy.world 28 points 1 year ago

I call some of my female friends "dude." What's that count as, Language Arbiter?

[-] FoundTheVegan@kbin.social -3 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

Firstly, does thinking a "(gender neutral)" at the end of sentance is really weird and awkward truly make me the language police? Come on, it's clunky at best, a weird lazy lamshapde to virtue signal at worst. Just use something else if your intent is to have something gender neutral.

But to answer your question. If your lady friends don't mind being called dude, then why should I?

[-] I_Miss_Daniel@kbin.social 6 points 1 year ago

I read that as lampshade.

[-] ChrisMcMillan@lemm.ee 1 points 1 year ago

Me two

[-] WhiskyTangoFoxtrot@lemmy.world -5 points 1 year ago

Are your female friends city people who've travelled to a rural area?

[-] Katzastrophe@feddit.de 16 points 1 year ago

Your argument doesn't really work, because 'bro' isn't a word used to describe sex partners, in the same vein, you would never say "I've slept with the boys", but you could use the sentence "I was hanging out with the boys".

[-] FoundTheVegan@kbin.social 3 points 1 year ago

Sure, I'm not really trying to play a semantics game so much as call attention to the fact that these are inherently gendered terms. If you were to say "hanging out with the girls (gender neutral)" or say "hanging out with the boys (gender neutral)", you are just being awkward and should just change the word.

[-] Katzastrophe@feddit.de -2 points 1 year ago

That's fair I suppose, to me, "bro" is an inherently gender neutral term, though "girls" is gender neutral to me in the same vein.

Adding on the 'gender neutral' is kinda redundant, and I can see why it would be annoying, actually, it's annoying me too now, because if the writer simply used "bros" and not "bros (gender neutral)", the expression's gender (gender/non-gendered) would not have been moved to gendered, and most people would understand it to be a gender neutral expression.

[-] Sacha@lemmy.world 9 points 1 year ago

Bro.

[-] match@pawb.social 8 points 1 year ago

I fuck bros all the time but I'm gay and non-binary

[-] Makeshift@sh.itjust.works 5 points 1 year ago

Genuine question because that confused the heck out of my brain.

What does gay and non-binary together mean? Are you only attracted to other non-binary people?

[-] match@pawb.social -1 points 1 year ago

I had a straight non-binary friend once; ze was small and androgynous and ze would generally date "lumberjack witch" enbies or other people who were differently gendered from zir.

[-] cubedsteaks@lemmy.today 3 points 1 year ago

uh, I definitely want to sleep with my bro's

[-] nottheengineer@feddit.de -1 points 1 year ago

What are you on about? There's not even a male pronoun in the whole post

[-] FoundTheVegan@kbin.social 5 points 1 year ago
