If someone intentionally caused harm to any of my cats, I live near a large national forest, and once you get a few hundred yards off a trail, no one is going to find a body.

Some say the neighor is still pounding on the door. But that kid went in Congress.

Were you walking with your dinosaur next to Jesus on the beach when the footprints disappeared?

Everyone here balancing the ethics of getting wet like it's assault.

Water melts snowflakes and wicked witches, everyone else need not worry.

All living things should be used to being wet either all the time or somewhat regularly. To think beyond that, wow, society has its teeth in you and you are lost.

Those 40 acid tablets I had in my back pocket though

Tetris11 was carrying 40 acid tablets that got destroyed by water. 40. That's as many as 4 tens, and that's awful.

If his Dad's reaction is any indication, he likely won't.

How DARE you interact with my poor, helpless cat, who I lovingly toss outside to slaughter songbirds, pick up parasites, and maybe get flattened by a car. I don't generally give a single solitary shit what happens to it out there, but this splash of water is TOO FAR.

Edit:

Please stop letting your cat out. It's not good for your cat or the local wildlife.

I think most people just have no idea how terrible outdoor cats are for native wildlife. It should be illegal, just like how you can't let your dog wander around freely.

[–] GreenKnight23@lemmy.world 7 points 1 day ago

On one side, I like to prank cats. on the other, I hate other peoples children.

ehhh pretty pretty pretty good
