  • Pfff. That’s simply not true. Not even remotely.

    Oh no way, a gross oversimplification on the Internet? Who would do such a thing.

    examples of kitties saving humans are legion.

    No they’re not. Examples of dogs saving people are myriad. Cats? They exist, but they’re definitely not “legion”, despite the size of the world. You can see a lot of videos of cats “defending” people by attacking snakes or bears or whatever. But that’s the natural response the cat would have anyway, at least for what they consider their kittens. (And cats think people are just large non-hostile, inept, cats.

    Oh hey here’s one where the cat isn’t attacking anything. https://www.pethealthnetwork.com/news-blogs/a-pets-life/hero-cat-saves-abandoned-baby-freezing-death

    But it’s defending a baby, which has heightened characteristics of young’uns that cats recognise in us, like larger eyes and large head and whatnot. They’re pretty common in mammals. (Elephants also consider us babies afaik, because people keep large heads and large eyes in adulthood.)

    But a cat doing a comparable stuff to dogs, which are actually domesticated and mysteriously adaptable. (We still don’t quite understand how there’s so much variance in dogs without any problems to crossbreeding)

    I’m not trying to put down your relationship with any felines you might be friendly with, but I am pointing out that dogs are literally domesticated by people, whereas cats domesticated themselves.

    It’s kinda how you could go to the worst prison imaginable and still pick up good deeds even violent offenders have done. And comparatively, you could go to a first grade class and the chances of finding violent offenders would be low, but obviously not zero. The violence would be rather different though.

    Although that’s sort of a very strawmanny analogy, but it’s not for an argument, so it’s not a strawman. Especially because I very well recognise that some breeds of dogs are more violent than even a weirdly aggressive average-ish cat. That’s just because of the superb adaptation dogs have and the asshole people who practiced bloodsports.

    So while some cats may have saved a few people, I just don’t see them being as capable of the type of love Sam has for Frodo. (And I’m not talking fanfics here.)






  • Again, too vague, and you still have the problem of when.

    Also, Google “man wakes up in morgue”, you’ll find tons of documented cases of people waking up at the morgue, because someone was mistaken about them being dead.

    Things like that is why necrophilia is generally frowned upon. Even necrophiles probably wouldn’t like to fuck the bodies which are every clearly dead, as in, say, a bloated corpse recovered from water. There’s no mistaking whether someone like that is dead or not.

    But someone at the morgue who’s been there less than 24 hours is still possibly alive and definitely a “they” and not an “it”.





  • Yes, because this definitely requires “in-depth” research, and that’s definitely not you moving the goalposts from “you don’t get it” to “well you might get it now, but you definitely didn’t get it before pouring hard research into it!”

    And more futile attempts at personal insults. I was playing Nintendo when you da wasn’t even fertile yet, but I don’t see how that’s relevant to this being a shit “joke”? Ofc you’ll never be able to accept it, because you just have to go where the crowd points. You’re not used to reasoning or explaining things, it’s okay.




  • Ah yes. That’s why I can address the subject, while you avoid it like the plague. Not because you were wrong, but because you’re worried my ego might get hurt. And this definitely has nothing to do with psychological projection.

    So please prove me wrong and tell me what reference I “didn’t get”…? ;>


  • Sort of. See you feel compelled to reply, but you now realise you were wrong, which you won’t be able to accept.

    There’s nothing I didn’t “get”, I just think the “joke” is ass, which it is.

    If there’s something I didn’t get, you could prove it by literally just saying it. But you can’t, because it doesn’t exist. Yet despite knowing that, you’re still compelled to reply. I’ve seen kids like you with the exact same tantrum literally hundreds ans hundreds of times over the years.


  • And calling people objects is why the right is crazy.

    If a person drowns and has no heartbeat, is it okay for you to have a quickie with them before the paramedics arrive to save him? Clinically they’re dead, so… by your logic, they’re an object, and never had the ability to consent in the first place, so quickly fucking them up the arse should be a-okay, right?

    Or is there like a timer you have for when a person goes from a person to an object, which then retroactively never had personhood anyway? Is it just time, or is it temperature, or as soon as the smell sets in? Some people have been clinically dead for half an hour in cold water before being resuscitated, the cold helping protect from brain damage. And some people smell like dead bodies while alive.

    I’m just curious as to your personal criteria.




  • Which reference exactly do you think I didn’t get?

    I wish I could communicate to you how well I understand people like you. You genuinely can’t disagree with people unless a bunch of people have done it first. You’re too afraid of deciding anything, ever. A follower.

    What’s brown and sticky? A stick!

    You’re not laughing? You must not be intelligent enough to understand that the joke is that a stick is brown and “sticky”, because “sticky” here is referring to the quality of being a stick, and not actually used as a noun describing adhesives, like it usually is. /s

    Ofc you understand the joke, but unless your age is in singles digits, you’ll probably not find it actually amusing, and while technically a joke, it’s not exactly a prime example. But what’s the difference between me not finding that amusing and me not finding this post amusing? Literally nothing. Yet you think one is an arcane jest that only you chosen ones can understand and no-one could possibly not be amused by it so it must have just gone over my head. And I’m not closed-minded, so perhaps it did. Please, explain the joke I not getting.


  • Okay, so explain what I missed, please?

    You don’t think people should say when they hear bad jokes, because you grew up without anyone being allowed to criticise anything and eveyone having to simp to some societal order which you never even realised to think about.

    So you literally think no matter how fucking dumb “a joke” is, you have to laugh at it. That probably means you’ve never actually laughed at a joke. So for you they’re not something fun, they’re just a social nicety. And not seeing that, well, that is a joke I am smiling aloud at. :D
