He does this sometimes. At least he doesn’t sit on the keyboard (usually).

Is that raisin flavored soda??

[–] richie_golds@lemmy.ca 29 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago) (1 children)

Almost - it’s grape. Grape in French is raisin. Products in Canada have both English and French on them.

This comment made my night! (I hope that doesn’t sound sarcastic - I don’t mean it to be! I genuinely loved it and thought it was funny!)

Thank you for explaining it’s grape in French. I saw this and was about to go to war.

[–] richie_golds@lemmy.ca 5 points 1 month ago

Yep, grape Zevia. It’s a brand of pop sweetened with stevia. Not the most delicious thing out there if I’m being honest, it’s got a bit of an aftertaste. It’s just not as miserably bad for you as other pop.

This is correct.

[–] vogi@piefed.social 8 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago) (2 children)

makes me think if there are fake things you buy to put into pictures for interaction. or i am just refusing to accept that raisin soda is a thing.

You know, I’ve never actually thought to do this. I’ve only grabbed items to stage for period-correct photos, but not candid “wtf is that” stuff in photos. That’s… really, really funny, actually!

[–] Viking_Hippie@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 points 1 month ago

I bet they would if not for the fact that literally all of them appear to be sold out 😄

[–] richie_golds@lemmy.ca 6 points 1 month ago

Nah, it’s a grape drink I happened to have in the photo, and happened to be turned to show the French side. I didn’t even realize this until it was pointed out in the comments!

Every day we stray further from God's light.

[–] Viking_Hippie@lemmy.dbzer0.com 17 points 1 month ago (1 children)

I can't relate at all! Nuh-uh!

[–] richie_golds@lemmy.ca 5 points 1 month ago

Such a pretty kitty! Reminds me a lot of my sister-in-law’s dad’s cat named Merp (yes, that was her name). She’s no longer around sadly, but she looked just like that, and was super loveable!

[–] Jeeve65@ttrpg.network 12 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Lies. Cats don't ask questions, they assert their rightful place.

Stop doing whatever you do, adore me!

Did I hear a Rock and Stone?

ROCK AND STONE

[–] richie_golds@lemmy.ca 2 points 1 month ago

That you did!

[–] SalamenceFury@lemmy.world 10 points 1 month ago (1 children)

I like that he looks quite scruffy

[–] richie_golds@lemmy.ca 4 points 1 month ago

He definitely is quite the floofer. He is actually part Siamese, as that’s what his mother was. We don’t know what his father was, but we can see what he might have been.

[–] Elaine@lemmy.world 10 points 1 month ago (1 children)

What an adorable void! Give ‘em a scritch for me!

[–] richie_golds@lemmy.ca 3 points 1 month ago

I will! (He said thank you)

[–] Anarch157a@lemmy.dbzer0.com 9 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Beautiful cat in front of a beautiful Linux desktop running KDE.

You certainly have a good taste for cats and operating systems.

[–] richie_golds@lemmy.ca 4 points 1 month ago

Why, thank you! The kitty doesn’t seem to concern himself with the events of computer software, he may only be interested in the cursor for a few seconds. I’ve personally not run Windows on a main PC since 2020, and I think it was Garuda at the time of this photo.

[–] maudelix@lemmy.world 6 points 1 month ago (2 children)

What breed of cat is he? Absolutely gorgeous!

[–] richie_golds@lemmy.ca 2 points 1 month ago

He’s half Siamese. He kind of has the face, but we don’t know what the other half is. His mother, the Siamese cat, got of her owners’ house one day, and some time after she returned… multiplication had occurred.

About half the kittens looked like this kitty. Floofy, black fur (he actually had stripes as a kitten), there are a few possibilities. His father may have been a mix himself - some ragdoll, maybe a little bit of tabby, perhaps some Maine coon somewhere in there.

[–] FlashMobOfOne@lemmy.world 5 points 1 month ago (1 children)

It really was insensitive of you not to be showering Mr. Floof with attention.

[–] richie_golds@lemmy.ca 3 points 1 month ago

Oh but he did get the pets! I just needed to make sure that I had a picture before he moved! Usually he prefers to be on my lap, but sometimes he’ll make himself the centre of attention this way!

[–] RoidingOldMan@lemmy.world 5 points 1 month ago

That cat has more wisdom to bestow upon you than you realize.

[–] toynbee@lemmy.world 3 points 1 month ago (1 children)

I would like to know the function of the grey circle in the bottom left. Initially I thought it was a button but now I'm thinking it's a microphone.

[–] HeyThisIsntTheYMCA@lemmy.world 4 points 1 month ago (1 children)

it looks like a magnetic/induction charger like for a phone, but i don't know why it'd be elevated and angled that way

[–] richie_golds@lemmy.ca 2 points 1 month ago (1 children)

That’s a magnetic charger for a phone attached to a rotatable stand.

[–] HeyThisIsntTheYMCA@lemmy.world 2 points 1 month ago (1 children)

yisss five point to richie

[–] richie_golds@lemmy.ca 2 points 1 month ago (1 children)
[–] HeyThisIsntTheYMCA@lemmy.world 1 points 1 month ago (1 children)

so like, is the stand for streaming or what

[–] richie_golds@lemmy.ca 2 points 1 month ago

Huh. That's a good idea. You could use it for that. It leaves the rear cameras open too, if you wanted to prop it up that way. It was mostly just so that I could keep my phone propped up for easy access when I was playing music off of it. It's literally just a stand that you put your MagSafe charger into. Not expensive.
