This only proves cats are smarter than Americans. But it kinda tracks that an American would equalise Americans and humans.

CAGA - Cats Are Great Always.

(also, "you shit" in Spanish)

You know what's a great taunt to say reeeeeaaaaaaalllllly slow at people who don't speak Spanish?

Culero

Means asshole

And is fun to say, and you can make a little ring shape with your finger and trace it when you say it. Makes sure you pronounce it por la nariz

I called my girlfriend "culera" as a joke and nearly lost my skull to an ancient Aztec ritual.

I other news, she always says, "I am a frijolera because I love beans. I will never get mad if someone calls me 'beaner.'"

She is a hilarious woman.

Cats dont repeatedly attempt to enact chat control.

So they're also smarter than Europeans.

Cats didn't attempt to appease Hitler.

Cat: We don't pay taxes or wear pants. Also, humans feed us and clean up our waste when we know how to hunt and bury our own shit without their help.

I'm not debating the conclusion, I'm debating the argumentation

[–] ohulancutash@feddit.uk 3 points 3 days ago (1 children)

Haven’t you heard? ~~Germans~~ Americans put men on the moon. What could be smarter than that?

The French sit around and eat cheese and hatred for breakfast

What are video games if not "chasing laser dots"?

[–] Akasazh@feddit.nl 3 points 3 days ago (1 children)

Or any type of dopamine skinner box, for that matter

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

If my video games provided me sustenance at regular intervals, you can bet your fat ass that my fat ass would be a much fatter ass.

[–] Cornelius_Wangenheim@lemmy.world 21 points 3 days ago (1 children)

I'm pretty sure my cat would have voted for Trump. She's selfish, not too bright and scared to death of outsiders.

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

My cat is similar, but she has absolutely loved all of our trans friends. Maybe she's more of a Chase Oliver voter i don't know anything about him

CAT: Actually let me update the tweet with a second point:

TWICE.

[–] fibojoly@sh.itjust.works 14 points 3 days ago (1 children)

I dunno man, if I saw a fucking giant frantically coming near me with a sucking machine I can fit in and that does as much noise as a jet engine, I'd be giving it space too.

[–] ameancow@lemmy.world 5 points 2 days ago

Something something about electing a giant sucking machine.

[–] ChanchoManco@lemmy.zip 12 points 2 days ago

Two times even 🤦

[–] DilbertDooley@lemmy.world 8 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Prove that any cat voted for any other opponent. I'll wait. Stupid cats.

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

Trump is the only president since McKinley to not have a dog. And he wants to rename Denali for McKinley again. No, cats jump at the dogphobic whistle blowing from Trump.

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

Clinton had a cat instead, didn't he? Extra point for Clinton

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

...and a dog, Buddy. So no, cats are not centrists.

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

I was today years old when I learned that Mt McKinley and Denali are the same place

For instance, on the planet Earth, man had always assumed that he was more intelligent than dolphins because he had achieved so much—the wheel, New York, wars and so on—whilst all the dolphins had ever done was muck about in the water having a good time. But conversely, the dolphins had always believed that they were far more intelligent than man—for precisely the same reasons.

Douglas Adams

Same goes for cats

[–] ZoteTheMighty@lemmy.zip 3 points 2 days ago

While I accept that cats didn't elect Trump, I refuse to concede cats wouldn't have elected Trump if they could vote. The man is a physical manifestation of the act of pushing a glass of water off the edge of the table.

you know, i named my cats so i can yell "WHERE MY ______ AT" and they would come running down the hall for cuddles and I now know the name of, well not my next cat that's gonna be Churro but the one after that

[–] Gradually_Adjusting@lemmy.world 12 points 3 days ago

Today I will go on the internet and state an obvious fact as smugly as possible. Nobody will mock me for spiking the smallest football ever seen.

wait, humans don't chase laser dots? then what am I?

[–] jaybone@lemmy.zip 7 points 3 days ago (1 children)

are we sure cats didn’t vote in the last election?

[–] Scott_of_the_Arctic@lemmy.world 5 points 3 days ago* (last edited 3 days ago) (1 children)

It's mostly dogs that vote republican. They want to sniff ass without consent or repercussions. Donald trump is their president.

[–] onslaught545@lemmy.zip 2 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago) (1 children)

But most dogs love everyone, which is absolutely not a Republican trait. They are super manipulative, though, and would be prone to spreading misinformation if it benefits them.

Although one of my wife's dogs doesn't like black people, but that's because she had a black neighbor (who was a cop, of course) that intentionally tried to scare the dog any chance he got when she was a puppy.

My father apparently had a racist dog as a kid. He swears he didn't train it to be racist, but he is so who knows.

No, humans chase a fleeting sense of stability and fear change and uncertainty.

Things that are decidedly less concrete than laser dots and vacuums.

Evidence that NDT is a tool

[–] danc4498@lemmy.world 0 points 3 days ago (1 children)

They would have if they could

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

Nah, cats understand consent. Dogs don't.

[–] danc4498@lemmy.world 2 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Cats are little sociopaths, though.

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

Because they don't "just follow orders", they are cautious, and that caution looks selfish.

[–] danc4498@lemmy.world 1 points 2 days ago

Nah, you see them trap a mouse and just watch it for a little while before killing it?
