First off, I would think that in order for them to get that far they'd have to evolve longer, grasping fingers like ours, or maybe they would have designed objects to work with their paws, but without the fine motor control afforded by fingers I'm not sure how they would invent anything.

There would be a lot more meat production and no crop farms, since they are obligate carnivores, but this does assume they don't evolve beyond that on their way to domination.

I suppose humans wouldn't have evolved past being apes, it's unlikely they would want us as pets, so we're probably either hinted for sport or as an exotic food source, or largely ignored.

It's possible that animals would be going extinct at an alarming rate, since cats hunt for food and fun, and as a society they would require more meat.

It's hard to know it cats would make the same mistakes we've made, but I would think it's safe to assume they've lost touch with their kinship with nature or largely ignore it, like humans do now, so perhaps a lot will be the same. I don't know if they'd give in to greed like humans have, or create a system that's more beneficial overall. If the former, work would be hell for them, it would probably be a 3-4 day work week, but that would be rough for them just like our current system is for us.

The biggest changes would be anatomical, I think. Their fur would thin out, except on the top of their heads, their tails might grow shorter or disappear to allow them to stand and walk upright, the breasts in females would grow larger and the number of their offspring might reduce to one or two as their gestation and childhood periods get longer to account for higher intelligence.

I'll look into that. I wish they would stop inserting AI into everything.

Is Assistant AI? I thought it pre-dated that. I use it for navigation and replying to messages so I don't get distracted or have to pull over all the time.

They're removing Assist (which works and I use when I'm driving) for Gemini (which does not work). Does anyone have a solution? Because I cannot use Gemini while driving, it's a nightmare.

The fact that the people I like never like me and my options are always settle for someone who likes me or be alone.

I think they're called imams.

You're fine, I always love seeing you beautiful gals! Thank you for the warm welcome 💜

Haha, I always wanted one since reading the Andy Capp comics as a kid and finally found one!

Definitely the connection to the magical other-world 😸

The t-shirt was from City Chic!

 

Seems people are posting selfies. I'm a bit late to the party but I like my hat.

 

Why or why not?

If so, would it depend on how they present or their assigned gender at birtb or something else?

(Edit: fixed AGAB to confuse less people. Sorry people.)

 

I know I'm not cis, but that's about it. I'm AFAB, I would like to appear more masculine, I have dysphoria around my chest and genitals and would like them to be more masculine, but I want to present as a femboy or a twink, I don't want facial hair or curves and I want a deeper voice. I like the idea of people not knowing what gender I am when they look at me. But at the same time neither she/her not he/him feel right for me, and I'm happier when people use they/them. Part of me thinks I don't need a label, but at the same time I feel like I need a way do describe and identify myself. Can anyone help? I feel so confused.

 
 

I got my first IM injection (self-administered, under doctor supervision), it's been almost a week now and my leg still hurts and I've had a couple of moments where the muscle feels a bit swollen... Is this normal? Will my body "get used to it" and stop reacting like this eventually?

 

I just got my first car and I was thinking I should probably get a dash cam since it has to stay in the driveway, but I feel out of my depth. I don't have a lot of money so I'm hoping for one that is at most around AU$100. I also think covering both front and rear would be best, but obviously will take advice on that regard. Are there any specific ones you would recommend? I feel completely out of my depth. Also, I'm located in Australia if that makes a difference.

I'm not an artist, I don't really draw, but I wanted to try my hand at this. Constructive criticism is welcome, but please be gentle.

 

I had a dream last night that the sex characteristics of the genders were switched, so women had penises, facial hair, etc., and men had vaginas, boobs, etc., but in every other way (e.g. socially) everything else was the same. In this scenario do you think you would identify as the other gender?

I'm a trans man, and though it feels weird to think about, I think I would identify as a woman in that scenario, but I found the concept interesting and wondered what other people would think.

 

I got this tattoo near the end of last year, and I feel like the text has become a sort of personal mantra this year, especially with everything happening around the world and the attempts to erase us LGBTQ+ people. I'm not dead. We're not dead. I won't lay down and give up. Granny Weatherwax would fight, and so shall I. I shall keep living my life.

 

My partner and I are in a long distance relationship, we've been together for 5 years. From the start, the plan was that I would move there, but he didn't start the application because he wanted to get a stable job (he was working when we met but quit around 2022 when they expected everyone to move from remote back to on-site).
Last year he told me that if Trump gets in he'd move here instead (he's American). My family expressed doubts about his sincerity, so I confirmed with him multiple times and he insisted.
Now he's saying that he never thought Trump would actually get in, so I shouldn't have taken him seriously. We fought about it and when I said he went back on his word he says I went back on mine since I haven't moved there yet and am now saying I don't want to because of everything happening and I don't feel safe (I'm trans, and even if I wasn't foreigners aren't being treated well from what I've heard).
He's now saying he doesn't want to leave his mom, which is fair, but I feel conflicted about it all. I feel like he's broken my trust, but he's adamant he didn't lie because he never actually expected this to happen.
He also thinks everything is being exaggerated and isn't really as bad as I think it is, especially where he is on the west coast. He says it's safe there, but I wonder for how long. He says if it gets worse we can move here, but how can I trust that? I feel like he's burying his head in the sand (he responded that I'm burying my head in the sand) and ignoring how bad it's going to be, but maybe he's right and I'm stressing too much? At the start of the year he agreed with me about how bad it is but now he doesn't seem to think it's that bad.
Mostly I just want advice I guess, an outside perspective. I don't know how to feel and I'm conflicted about it all.

 

I hate bathing (ASD) but I do it every day because it is Required and Expected. Most of the time I get in and do what I need to and get out, but occasionally I get this urge to be really thorough and scrub really hard with the rough sponge. Does anyone else get these random urges? I don't have OCD as far as I know and it doesn't happen often.
