I like when people like a character so way too much that it transcends even self shipping or kinning and becomes more of a patron saint that you pray to type of deal
"patron saint" stop using catholic figures in a blasphemous way! it's disrespectful to catholics.
youve made me very happy by saying this
you...enjoy being disrespectful to catholics?
Work vacuum died. This is the fifth one since I started working here five years ago.
The first one died because my coworker vacuumed up rocks.
The second one died because my coworker vacuumed up rocks.
The third one died because my coworker vacuumed up rocks.
The fourth one died for unknown reasons that involved my coworker vacuuming up rocks.
The fifth one died a few minutes ago and it was a big mystery and my coworker was like “oh I don’t know what happened it just overtaxed for some reason” so I looked inside the hose and—get this—it was jammed with rocks.
He keeps buying bigger and more expensive vacuums and complaining about how shitty and faulty the last ones were and every time I suggest something like “what if you didn’t vacuum up rocks” he’s like oh no it is the vacuums who are wrong.
hey guys guess what happened again just now
i recommend learning other alphabets if for no other reason than it’s very fun to see people replace latin alphabet letters with complete nonsense for Aesthetic
as julius caesar famously said: “vspph vphdph vphcph”
as brutus said, tase him again
HELL YEAH
Ace attorney is so funny for making a game where you play as a lawyer whose assistant lets him talk to dead people and the only dead person he talks to is a smarter, better lawyer
Its weird how quickly stereotyping cats based on color has taken off online now
I'd say its just people wanting to lovingly tease their pets, but I've come across several conversations recently of people wondering what genetically causes orange cats "to be that way". I think it's because they are a cat.
It's even weirder because people act like "orange cat behaviour" is a long-standing cultural stereotype and not something that popped up in the last five years!
Oh some of my favorites include "my tortie loves to [insert normal cat behavior here], and only torties act that way!" and "I could never get a calico, they are mean!" Like bitch what? You think fur and skin color determines personality? You're cat racist. Make it make sense.
It's astrology for cats. Including people that are real fuckin weird about it.
Tortietude has been a thing for years, I remember reading people joking in my cat magazine when I was a kid many decades ago about torties being spicy, though they didn't use that word.
But the orange cat thing has been memed out. I shouldn't further it, I know I shouldn't. But the lighter fur and their open little faces do indeed make them look very very silly sometimes. There isn't much mystery to an orange cat. Just sunshine.
I'm lowkey bugged by it because they're also gendered sterotypes. Orange and black are carried on the X chromosome, so XY kittens with an orange X frequently come out orange, while XX kittens with one orange and one black X typically come out with the variable black and orange coat of the tortoiseshell or calico.
So effectively, this means that tortoiseshell and calicos are 99.9% girls and orange cats are 85% boys.
And then, totally coincidentally, people went in hard on stereotypes where the mostly-boy population are sweet dumb himbos, and the girl-population are moody, emotional, and prone to overreacting.
When these cats are not different breeds or geographically separated populations at all; this is a common coat colour for cats all over the world, and oranges and tortoiseshells are frequently brothers and sisters. Or parents and children. A tortoiseshell/calico mother will often have orange boys and tortoiseshell/calico girls; getting a tortoiseshell/calico cat requires one parent with an orange X, which is frequently an orange boy.
When assessing behaviour and personality, a major thing psychology has had to fight against is demand characteristics and confirmation bias. Having a preformed conclusion about how somebody is will lead you to interpret all their behaviour in a way that confirms your original theory, and your preformed concept of somebody can lead you to act in ways that unnaturally evoke that response in their behaviour. I have not seen any study on "tortitude" or "orange cat behaviour" that fails to rule out these two factors.
I normally shut up about this because people are entitled to their own silliness and having fun with their cats, but I'll be honest, the gender of it all just bugs me deep down.

Me if I were a dog
100 year old Galapagos tortoise with a few weeks old Galapagos baby posing for a new family photo, and its own baby photo from 100 years ago.
love that for 100 years people have looked at these beasts and thought “heehee what if the big one wore the little one like a hat”
