I’d argue the end of civilization as we know it is the end of the world. Some amount of humans will survive with vastly less knowledge and technology, but survival of some humans isn’t the metric.

Thanks for the tip, I’ll try that next time. Even though it’s infuriating that it’s necessary in the first place

Some cats just love it. I adopted a 2.5 year old cat from a shelter almost a year ago and he’s also super gentle and affectionate and looooves belly rubs. My other cat likes it too but only allows it for about 10 seconds lol

I don’t even care about the shorts showing up in search results. What really irks me is that you get like 3 videos related to search results, then some random unrelated shit, 3 relevant videos, more unrelated garbage, and then the rest of the actually relevant videos. I am specifically searching for something, just show me the damn thing.

Yeah me neither. Where I live there really aren’t many stray cats, and certainly not around where people live. It’s a good thing though because I would definitely keep every cat if they would just walk into my house.

And dammit if it doesn’t work every single time. She knows how weak I am

Hahaha I did the same with a previous cat. She was so fucking dumb, like borderline actually something wrong with her. I would always say thing like ‘who is so dumb? Who is the dumbest little cat on the entire planet? You are! You’re a little moron! Yes you are!’ in a baby voice to her lol.

Imagine thinking in 2023 that there’s still such a thing as ‘useless data’

The ‘under 1 billion’ part implies genocide, because that is literally never gonna happen - in a time frame where we wouldn’t have to rethink housing and nature right now and the next few decades - otherwise without a major worldwide catastrophe. Sure, climate change might take care of it (again, decades away and people need housing now, also, these solutions actually help with climate change) but then we won’t have to worry about silly things like housing ever again.

Take it from someone who is autistic, highly introverted and has only lived in apartments in my adult life: you do not ever need to see or interact with your neighbors. It’s as optional as with a house. The most I see of my neighbors is that once every few weeks I might stand in the elevator with one of them for 15 seconds.

Agreed. I live in a European country where it’s very normal to let your cats outside, and I was a mail carrier for 4 years, so I got to pet so many cats 5 days a week. You do the pspsps, then crouch a bit and extend the hand. They either ignore you and move or on they’re interested and come to you and bam you’re petting a sweet kitty.
