just to be a bit of a devil that advocates thingies, i lost my pooch a bit ago and my family asked when they could get me a new pup. i told them i needed time and maybe around my upcoming bday. so, i think if its been discussed in some fashion... i think it okays.
but i do understand the overall point and i don't disagree - surprise pets tend to be a bad move.
Pets should never be a surprise for sure. Having an idea that you've got one coming and being willing to take care of it is another story altogether
I mean I see were you are going but if they already wanted and you confirmed, like if the kid has wanted it and you are the parent or you talked with their parents, etc.. it's not that crazy.
I mean maybe I would go and make a gift card or something saying they can get it as a presen and if they are ok with it you then get it, ideally adopting of course.
Paying for something someone wants isn't the same as a surprise gift.
A parent buying a pet for their kids is actually a parent buying a pet for themselves; the parents very well know the pet is ultimately their responsibility.
I don't think anyone is saying to not do those things. It's the surprise of a pet that is heinous.
Can still be a surprise that they want it doesn't mean they expect it.
Agreed. Even assuming you know the person wants a pet and can handle a pet, you're still robbing them of choice in what pet they get. The poodle is cute and all, but little timmy really would've preferred a border collie.
Pretty much the only scenario I can agree with gifting a pet is if you know they want one, know they can handle one, and finally when it comes to the actual gift giving, it starts off with a trip to the animal shelter so they can pick their own companion.

Schrödinger's meme: both family friendly and horny at the same time
I'd bonk you to horny jail, but I get the feeling that it might be more reward than punishment
Real friends may find it weird but will accept it.
I would go as far as to encourage it >:3
I saw this on discord yesterday. We're not... In the same discord... Are we?

Maybe ...
uwu *touches fingers* ?
you can easily find out by rightclicking the image and showing it in a new tab and copypasting the url into a texteditor, then rightclicking the image in the discord, copying the url, and pasting that too, and comparing both up to the ? (ignore everything afterwards)
"easily."
Two copy-pastes is not difficult.
Yay the good ending thank u! :3
YESSS

Spill the beans
Lemmings don't spill beans, we meme the beans.
In capitalist Reddit, beans meme you!
Now you know one reason why you should always ask who a gift is for instead of assuming.
How would the confusing meme work if we can't assume that the protag is somehow idiotically/unrealistically confusing their own gift with the dogs?
Kind for them to get a partner for the dog so the dog won't feel lonely.
OwO motherfucker
Happened to everyone. Right?
