To use "u", "ur", and "your" in the same sentence is mind-blowing.

[–] nightofmichelinstars@sopuli.xyz 38 points 1 year ago (1 children)

At least they r each used correctly.

Did Zoomers just solve a huge problem that's plagued the English-speaking world for generations?

[–] Blackmist@feddit.uk 11 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I think text speak is a bit older than the zoomers.

But in any case, I propose u're for the sake of grammatical correctness.

[–] jaybone@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Ok professor. Now fix their, there and they’re.

[–] Blackmist@feddit.uk 7 points 1 year ago

Thei're. Just merge them. Simple.

[–] NoSpiritAnimal@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago

No it's an extra kink in the maze of English, double possessive forms.

And yet here you are

[–] general_kitten@sopuli.xyz 38 points 1 year ago (1 children)

in case of cats, you just gotta learn that if they want to be with you they would be already there so no point in carrying them

[–] MissJinx@lemmy.world 5 points 1 year ago

that's true but my cat HAVE to watch me while I shower. If I close the door and leave her outside she'll scream like someone is breaking her bones. I'm seriously afraid someone is going to call ASPCA, so I just carry her to the bathroom when I'm going to take a shower or I'll have to stop mid-shower to open the door.

Things cats makes us do...

When your kid tells you he's VERY HUNGRY and you do this wonderful meal, and he takes 2 bites and says he's full 🤬. At that moment, those 2ms after he says that, you really hate that little fucker's guts.

[–] Blackmist@feddit.uk 12 points 1 year ago (2 children)

We had to feed next door's kid one day because of some family emergency.

"How many fish fingers do you want?"

"Two"

Sits down, eats one.

"You said you wanted two..."

"I only ever eat one but my mum always puts two out because she thinks it looks mean if she only gives me one."

Yep, same reason. You always make like A LOT extra... in case he/she wants some more... in reality, you become a cold meal expert when you're a parrent.

[–] SkippingRelax@lemmy.world 5 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I got chickens. It's great because I couldn't throw food away, they are happy to complement their diet with whatever the babies drop or don't eat, and I feel good as it keeps the chooks happy and it contributes to making eggs! Win win.

[–] 0x4E4F@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Yeah, I live in a building though... and have parrots. It's not like I could give that to the parrots, they're fairly small.

But a neighbour has a dog and I try to give him leftovers from time to time. I really don't like throwing food away or letting it rot. I am fortunate enough that I can afford that meal, not everyone is as lucky as me.

[–] Catsrules@lemmy.ml 3 points 1 year ago

The second one is to keep the cat distracted long enough that you can eat the first one.

[–] jaschen@lemm.ee 4 points 1 year ago

I feels bro

[–] phorq@lemmy.ml 13 points 1 year ago

That's just its way of getting you to pick it up again.

[–] holycrap@lemm.ee 11 points 1 year ago (1 children)

That works both ways. I took my cats to the vet yesterday. They only realized it wasn't a camping trip when we pulled out without packing the dogs or any gear.

[–] SomeBoyo@feddit.de 10 points 1 year ago (2 children)

You take your cats camping?

[–] holycrap@lemm.ee 6 points 1 year ago (1 children)

In a camper trailer, yes. They love it.

[–] SomeBoyo@feddit.de 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Are there any problems with them getting out/running away?

[–] holycrap@lemm.ee 3 points 1 year ago

Nope. They know the trailer moves, and never go for the door. I've never had a problem with that.

[–] jaybone@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

Asking the important questions here.

[–] idunnololz@lemmy.world 8 points 1 year ago (2 children)

"it"? I'm offended for the cat.

[–] lolcatnip@reddthat.com 8 points 1 year ago

Cats I know get human pronouns. Random cats get "it".

[–] fatalError@lemmy.sdf.org 4 points 1 year ago

That's fine, the cat is an asshole anyway. I know that as I've always had cats. They are evil... Evil... Fluffy... Assholes.

I might get downvoted but it’s not betrayal. Betrayal would be if the pet called the cops on you. That’s why pets can’t talk.

Having the pet go anywhere else might be a let down but it’s not betraying you for wanting to be elsewhere
