That also looks like Monero, the crypto coin

Someone else mentioned it’s houndstooth, but there’s a company out there who turned that pattern into “catstooth.” I own pants with this pattern and they make me very happy!

I feel like I'm being judged....a little uneasy tbh.

The name of this pattern is "Houndstooth" in case you want a suit jacket with a bunch of stacked cats on it

Getting two hounds stoned off one joint.

Worst case Ontario

TIL that Houndstooth dates back to at least 360-100 BC.

That is absolutely incredible!

According to the Houndstooth Wikipedia article,

The oldest Bronze Age houndstooth textiles found so far are from the Hallstatt Celtic Salt Mine, Austria, 1500-1200 BC.

Mind-bending.

Edited because I forgot a word.

In German, it's Hahnentritt (roosters foot).

First thing I thought

[–] NigelFrobisher@aussie.zone 4 points 10 hours ago (1 children)

That’s just Houndstooth.

[–] AFKBRBChocolate@lemmy.ca 1 points 9 hours ago

You know, I've seen houndstooth, but it's always been really small. This is the first time I saw it large like this.

[–] abigscaryhobo@lemmy.world 6 points 12 hours ago

I've always seen those little plastic flippy frog toys you could get as a kid where you push your finger down on the back of them and when it slips off they bounce away

[–] ThatWeirdGuy1001@lemmy.world 5 points 12 hours ago

I just see space invaders

[–] Kolanaki@pawb.social 2 points 10 hours ago* (last edited 10 hours ago) (1 children)

I see hounds teeth. Do you have one in ginham?

[–] AFKBRBChocolate@lemmy.ca 2 points 9 hours ago (1 children)
[–] lime@feddit.nu 2 points 5 hours ago

that's probably because the word is gingham

What we’ve got here is a mild case of cat brain

[–] zqwzzle@lemmy.ca 12 points 16 hours ago

That’s the Toxoplasma gondii

[–] iamanoldguy@lemmy.world 11 points 16 hours ago

And now it cannot be unseen

Are those... magneto helmets?
