Maybe there’s a simpler solution: perhaps, don’t put your hand on your cat like that, for example? Just a thought…

I know this is a shit post community. But even in this context: where is the fun in hating on people for wanting to understand things?

I’m not hating, just pointing out the funniness of the absurdity of their post. Nothing I’ve said is hateful, is it? I’m not a hateful person :)

[–] bryophile@lemmy.zip 6 points 36 minutes ago (1 children)

Why is the post even absurd? There is an interesting behavioural apsect to this. This does come across as you just finding it ridiculous and are making fun of an innocent question.

Im not saying there isn’t an interesting behavioural point to it, but I think you’re reading way too much into this, it’s a shitpost. I’m not ‘making fun’, there are a few of funny aspects about this image (the cats face, for example) or the position of the hand that people might find funny (not everyone, but some)

[–] bryophile@lemmy.zip 4 points 27 minutes ago* (last edited 27 minutes ago) (1 children)

Never mind man, just found it kind of ironic to see a post complaining about people asking silly questions and needing to get outside more. As if your use of time is any better. You're just hoping someone will find the position of the hand funny or something.

What’s wrong with that? Isn’t that literally what everyone who posts here does (see who finds it funny)? I’m not particularly new to this platform so I’m still finding my feet. I post stuff like this to test the waters, so to speak. I expect some of my posts not to be well received, but that’s ok, because I can learn from that. I don’t see what’s so wrong with that?

[–] bryophile@lemmy.zip 1 points 25 minutes ago* (last edited 16 minutes ago)

Nothing, please I'm interested to see part 3 of people needing to get outside more. You should be able to get plenty of material from your immediate surroundings.

Some people really need to get out more, why even ask this?

[–] ReconciliationTime22128@sh.itjust.works -5 points 49 minutes ago* (last edited 47 minutes ago) (1 children)

Some people need to get out more than others, why even ask this?

[–] bryophile@lemmy.zip 5 points 44 minutes ago* (last edited 43 minutes ago) (1 children)

Because your question is even more pointless than the original one. Making my 'why even ask this' more valid than yours.

You are aware this is shitposts, right? That’s kinda the whole point, really

[–] bryophile@lemmy.zip 5 points 39 minutes ago (1 children)

Most shit on here at least has the point of it being funny nonsense

[–] ReconciliationTime22128@sh.itjust.works -2 points 38 minutes ago (1 children)

Funny is a matter of opinion, just coz you don’t find it funny don’t mean others won’t. Some will, some won’t, and that’s just the nature of anything meant to be ‘funny’ really

[–] bryophile@lemmy.zip 2 points 35 minutes ago (1 children)

Seeing the downvotes I am not the only one with this opinion

[–] ReconciliationTime22128@sh.itjust.works -2 points 32 minutes ago* (last edited 27 minutes ago)

Doesn’t matter, this post isn’t for them. Also, this isn’t Reddit, nobody cares about up/down votes
