Okay so not my best work (it’s not nearly offensive enough), but then again, it wasn’t Google’s either:-(.

I need more data. Send me higher resolution feet pics immediately, to this address: Donald.Trump at email.com. Please send me as many feet pics as you have!?

Recursion.

I uh… might have forgotten the terminal condition, so feel free to report me for violating Rule 2 of this community - breaking the law! (of good sense):-P

I’m telling you, it’s all about girth. You say you need two, but if you got the RIGHT one… that’s all you need.:-P

It’s a rite of passage! I had to learn it so now you do too! Why, when I was young I used to have to walk to school, uphill both ways, in the snow… :-P

I like how you pointed out: backwards compatibility is a choice.

Close - they meow for their cat mothers too in the wild, it’s just that humans keep cats in a permanently juvenile state when we keep them as pets. Also, our patting them mimics their mother’s tongue action, which causes them to purr, which is also an entirely natural sound for them to signal the mother that they are alive and content. We did not change them so much as co-opt what was already there, using it for the benefit of both human & cat:-). From there, some things like level of aggression and body size were bred to suit our mutual partnership better.

I see you went with the safer choice there, to use a dog for that image… good choice.

That gaze penetrates deep into your soul… and then the one behind that, and the one after that, and the one after that…:-P

OpenStars, to lemmyshitpost in Open your eyes, people.
@OpenStars@startrek.website avatar

Bold of you to think that it is you that is manipulating your cat, instead of the other way around:-D.

You can use it as toilet paper.

Mind you, it’s not very effective.

I don’t know what to do. If I upvote this, then people will have to go through the agony that I did, in listening to this. :-( On the other hand, if I upvote this, then people will have to go through the agony that I did, in listening to this. :-)

Oh, no, there is no turning back now

You’ve woken up the demon in me

Get up, come on, get down with the sickness

Madness is the gift that has been given to me

Alright, I will sacrifice some of my karma for this, if it helps:-).

The meme is trying to wrangle the premise that “large corporations are (most often) bad” (which ofc is true:-P) into a humorous statement that engineers in the state of Texas have limited opportunities to find jobs.

The problem is that it messes up all the details - e.g. if you have ever heard of GameStop, Dell, or Texas Instruments (just to name 3) they all have their headquarters in Texas, plus numerous top tech companies have branches there like Samsung. A 5s Google search shows many, MANY more.

For extra context: moving between states is nothing at all like moving between countries - and e.g. the state of California has a GDP comparable to Germany - plus there are many jobs in the state of Texas for both Engineers and also non-Engineers, especially if someone is willing to make less money in exchange for other QoL factors (like living closer to family?) so… in short, it is not your fault for not understanding this meme.:-)

Though there must be just enough of something in it for it to have gotten this many upvotes, in spite of all that. As someone who hasn’t lived in Texas for many years, I must be on the outside looking in now and thus don’t get it:-P.

OpenStars, to lemmyshitpost in Are you not entertained?

Dude, they’re cold. Everyone knows that you gotta warm them up first!
