He's taking it seriously too

[–] Saarth@lemmy.world 7 points 1 day ago

Buy him some warhammer 40k or model ships next time.

I know this guy who just goes on a walk with his cat in the woods thrice a week. No leash, they really just walk together and the cat vibes around

[–] gravitas_deficiency@sh.itjust.works 10 points 2 days ago (1 children)

That sounds like a nice time for the guy and his cat

[–] lagg_mine@lemmy.world 1 points 2 days ago

The cats are very judgey tho :(

[–] GreenKnight23@lemmy.world 4 points 2 days ago

used to do this with my cats as a kid living on a farm.

Imagine a 12 year old farm kid during the 80s walking around the woods with 20-25 cats following.

[–] Dozzi92@lemmy.world 2 points 2 days ago

That's awesome. My cat has been in and out his whole life, since my wife scooped him up off the streets. I always wanted to try walking him, but he wouldn't even wear a collar, and so a leash is a pretty obvious no chance. He's a cool dude and I want to hang out with him, but I'm not sure he feels the same about me.

"Bro, they got bags of sand here? Look at all that sand. Bro, do you know the shit I could make with that much sand?"

"Bro. Bro. Let's go to the string aisle."

[–] SaveTheTuaHawk@lemmy.ca 28 points 3 days ago (2 children)

Carpets and rugs next. Do they sell small birds?

[–] sp3ctr4l@lemmy.dbzer0.com 6 points 3 days ago

Birds? No.

Bird traps? I mean, bird houses and bird food?

... we may have a weekend project now, you clever bastard.

[–] Venator@lemmy.nz 1 points 2 days ago

Idunno about home depot, but they often have sparrows living in the rafters at bunnings or mitre 10, probably sustained by crumbs from the sausage sizzles at the front door 😅

[–] TheGoldenV@lemmy.world 73 points 3 days ago (2 children)

Try a smell walk in the wood section. Ohhhhh yeeeaaahhhh…

[–] username_1@discuss.tchncs.de 17 points 3 days ago (1 children)

The paint section is loved by everyone regardless of genotype! Men, women, humans, cats... Everyone!

They have empty buckets for the cat to jump in!

[–] Lectral@lemmy.ca 5 points 3 days ago

Where I live there's a lumberyard that specializes in cedar. Oh my dog! It's amazing in there.

[–] AppleTea@lemmy.zip 34 points 3 days ago

I like how this illustrates the absurdity of gender essentialism with a cat.

[–] sp3ctr4l@lemmy.dbzer0.com 30 points 3 days ago* (last edited 3 days ago) (2 children)

Honestly not a bad idea, but maybe have a harness and leash on him in case he decides to be stupid and/or somebody brings another pet into the store.

This one might be overwhelmed by the concept of plaid, but I'm sure you could find one in camo or that says 'Fish Fear Me' or something like that.

[–] Psythik@lemmy.world 18 points 3 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago) (1 children)

I walk my cat everywhere with one of these and they're great. It's a struggle getting it on but once I do, he gets excited for his walk.

The secret to walking a cat is to let them go where they want, within reason of course (which is what the harness is for). If you try to force them to stay on a path like a dog, it's never going to happen. They will sit down and protest. They will take you on a adventure but it's a fun way to see the places the cat wants to go. And if they protest too much anyway, a gentle tug on the leash should get them moving again because no cat wants to get dragged. (If they keep sitting down it's time to end the walk.)

Edit: Obviously this won't work for every cat, but if yours is always trying to sneak outside, they'll likely be receptive to walks once they get used to the harness.

Edit 2: They should be walked for at least an hour minimum, ideally several times a week, if not daily. This is especially true for indoor cats (and all cats should be indoor cats if you care about your local small animal population).

(By the way, get them a harness with a lot of padding. I replaced the one in the first photo cause it was digging into their skin . And sorry for the shitty image quality. The lens was scratched up and my hands are shaky. I got a new phone after taking these.)

It would be extremely funny to do that scene, with a cat, hahahaha!

If I was your cat, you'd need to take me to O'Reilly's. We're going in to get your rotors turned, and we're leaving with pads and fluid. When was the last time you actually had your brakes maintained? What'd you say is the mileage? 82,000? Diva, this thing is a death trap.

[–] StabbingSky@lemmy.zip 6 points 3 days ago (2 children)

I had OEM brakepads somehow last 140k miles. Every tire rotation I asked them to check the pads, and every time I was told they didn't need to be replaced.

[–] spicytuna62@lemmy.world 6 points 3 days ago* (last edited 3 days ago) (1 children)

It's pretty dependent on how gentle you are with them. If you do a lot of highway driving and coast a lot to stay with the pace of traffic, your brake pads will go basically forever. If you have to deal with a lot of traffic lights and stop and go traffic in town, you'll be doing them pretty frequently.

Pads are pretty easy. I just rebuilt the rear drum brakes on my Civic back in March and that was a proper PITA. So many really strong springs that get hooked in tight places. I mean, it's only like 2 per wheel, but it felt like 8.

[–] StabbingSky@lemmy.zip 4 points 3 days ago (1 children)

Yeah, I coast and use throttle control almost exclusively. I'll even coast up to a red light so I don't have to accelerate as much when it turns green.

Apparently Harbor Freight sells a tool that makes compressing the springs super easy (relatively)

[–] 2ndDegreeOWO@lemmy.world 2 points 3 days ago

Compressing the springs (actually the pistons) isn't too difficult. Just use a C-clamp pressing against the old brake pad, and open the cap to the brake fluid reservoir.

[–] HeyThisIsntTheYMCA@lemmy.world 2 points 3 days ago (1 children)

Is your car electric or hybrid? We're at 120k with our prius and the brakes look fantastic, since most of the time we're using magnets instead of the brake pads to stop

[–] StabbingSky@lemmy.zip 3 points 3 days ago (1 children)

Nope, it was a combustion engine.

[–] HeyThisIsntTheYMCA@lemmy.world 1 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago)

See my wife restocks te toilet paper like once a year. Because of that she thinks we go through like a roll a week.

Those are rookie numbers and I've been in the ~~playoffs~~ shitoffs.

[–] beccaboben@lemmy.world 6 points 3 days ago

🎼Oh, Oh, Oh O’Reilly’s… auto parts!

OW!🎤

[–] oscarmeyer82@lemmy.world 16 points 3 days ago (2 children)

Going to the hardware store is fun! I could walk around looking at the stuff there for hours.

Home despot is a last resort for me if both the smaller stores with competent employees (I blame HD for this, not the employees themselves) don't have it and waiting for an order to come in is a problem for any nunber of reasons.

[–] TubularTittyFrog@lemmy.world 7 points 3 days ago* (last edited 3 days ago) (1 children)

I hate going to big box hardware stores. They are loud even when they are empty and the layouts are so weird. I can't find anything unless I use the phone app to tell me where it is and even then it will take me 10m to find the 'aisle/bay/window' or whatever.

my small local hw store is way more logical in how they arrange stuff. especially if I am trying to find like a replacement screw/bolt/fastener, you just go to the appropriate aisle and in 30s or so you can find the right thing.

[–] altkey@lemmy.dbzer0.com 3 points 3 days ago

For decades, big stores optimized their floor plans to maximize our exposure to products we might potentially buy while we seek something specific. One 7/11-alike near me put bread section on the opposite end of the floor from exit, so to buy a pretty common food item you go all the way past most of their inventory, and other popular categories spread out too to ensure you cover 100% of the store with your footsteps before you fill the average consumer cart of products. This surely adds some %s to their revenue, but makes shopping exhausting if you don't know where everything is.

[–] 2ndDegreeOWO@lemmy.world 3 points 3 days ago

Habitat For Humanity is the real hardware store worth looking at.

Anywhere else is a last resort.

[–] urushitan@kakera.kintsugi.moe 11 points 3 days ago (1 children)

This is funny, though I wish it was a non ChatGPT image like

[–] QuinnyCoded@sh.itjust.works 1 points 1 day ago (1 children)

are you claiming the post is AI?

[–] urushitan@kakera.kintsugi.moe 3 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Yes

OpenAI and Google mark their ai generated images with a technology called synthid, you can find out more at https://synthid.com/

[–] QuinnyCoded@sh.itjust.works 1 points 1 day ago (1 children)

I was able to find the same cat on Reddit

[–] urushitan@kakera.kintsugi.moe 1 points 1 day ago (1 children)

More than likely a content farm thought it was funny or it hit their threshold of reaching r/popular, generated something similar, and dropped it on their TikTok or whatever for engagement farming

[–] QuinnyCoded@sh.itjust.works 2 points 1 day ago (1 children)

I find it kinda suspicious that they would make an entire account for the cat. Also i imagine since it's tiktok it's a video and not just an image

Yeah someone posted the original TikTok screenshot on that Reddit post which was putting up by a company called stake.com which is an online casino

How to bond with a man: come naked. Bring food.

[–] HeyThisIsntTheYMCA@lemmy.world 7 points 3 days ago (1 children)

You don't even have to be naked. I'd do unspeakable things for some chilaquiles right now

[–] Diplomjodler3@lemmy.world 5 points 3 days ago

OK. Being naked is a plus, though.

Is this AI or is the camera lens making this cat look exceptionally large?

[–] FuyuhikoDate@feddit.org 2 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago)

Its the combination of the lenses and the perspective / how close you hold the camera to the object you try to focus.

For example, if you would change the lenses to a wider angle, the cat would look reaaaaally stretched.

Edit: fuck it is ai....

Did it ever occurred to you that the way you wrote this comment people would also say "its called being a dick?"

Also, its AI https://kakera.kintsugi.moe/comment/1744394

Sorry it came across like this.
