every year the Ides of March feels like a fun little meme, but this year it actually feels more like trying to cast a spell

Petition to bring back the boop function next year for the ides of March where instead of a paw on the screen it’s a little knife that Caesar gets stabbed with

in retrospect i'm enjoying imagining the brainstorming meeting where they were like "our userbase is full of introverted, nervous, and annoying people doing parallel play, they all love bothering each other, but they also don't want to be overly familiar with strangers, let alone the people they've been hanging out with for literal years, how do we add enrichment to that antisocial social enclosure" and the correct answer was to let us socialize like a feral cat colony and nonverbally and impersonally yet lovingly smack each other lol

tumblr just gave everyone a cardboard tube and said go wild

Boop PSA, for Mobile Users:

To Boop - either tap the boop button next to someone's name or go to their blog and tap the cat paw icon

To Super Boop - go to someone's blog and hold the cat paw icon until it spins once, then let go

To Evil Boop - go to someone's blog and hold the cat paw icon until it spins twice, then let go

Can't Boop - either you or the person you're trying to Boop hasn't opted in yet

To Opt In - go to your feed and you'll see the boop-o-meter and the option to opt in

I'll update this when I know how to get certain badges and such.

UPDATE:

I'm not sure what triggers it, but if you keep booping enough, you'll get a "you high-fived the cat"

After that, go to your notifications tab and you'll find a notification that says "the cat booped you back"

Tap the "Meow :3" on that notification

Next, you'll get a notification from yourself and that mentions a "boop laundering scheme" and then gives you the option to Boop yourself.

UPDATE 2

to High Five the Cat, tap the paw animation that appears after you boop someone.

Also; Super Boops and Evil Boops both only count as 1 boop for your boop-o-meter, despite the increased number of paw animations.

But, that can be useful if you're having a hard time tapping the paw animation before it disappears...

- A regular boop only has 1 paw animation that comes out of a random side

- A super boop has 2 paw animations that come out of parallel sides

- An evil boop has 4 paw animations, one for each side

Not useful really, but interesting:

The paw animation changes every 10 Boops. One is a ghost paw, one is a skeleton paw, and one is a mummy paw.

Missing Information

I am currently unsure of:

- How to get "LOL" on the boop-o-meter

- How to get "OMG" on the boop-o-meter

- How to get "MAX" for sent Boops on the boop-o-meter

- What triggers the Color Change of the boop-o-meter

I will update with more info once I know more and confirm the information as best I can.
