I would love having a cat I can just bring with me anywhere I could bring a dog. I miss cats

[–] some_guy@lemmy.sdf.org 31 points 16 hours ago (1 children)

So, you’re telling me the cat was napping? The things they’re famous for?

Jk, I still like it.

[–] Soggy@lemmy.world 9 points 10 hours ago (2 children)

My cats would be yelling immediately, they hate car rides.

[–] Blackmist@feddit.uk 2 points 1 hour ago

That's because whenever you put them in the car, they're going to the cattery or the vet.

They're not like dogs where they might go to the park.

Nothing good comes from car rides for cats.

Lol mine just about throws up when I take her 5 mins to the vet. Unfortunately for her, she has to do day-long road trips once or twice a year to visit family. But after she chills out, she's quite an easy rider. Just very anxious at the beginning haha. I love her so much 😭

We need to get back to pet-shaming more. It's funny, and they don't understand, nor do they have the faculties to have their feelings hurt by it.

We're going to need a bigger box.

[–] PattyMcB@lemmy.world 17 points 18 hours ago

Where's my seat? Dammit

[–] DogWater@lemmy.world 17 points 18 hours ago

That cat is so cute.

[–] CosmicTurtle0@lemmy.dbzer0.com 36 points 19 hours ago

Not only that but more often than not, the pet has the face of "What you gonna do about it?" which makes it even funnier.

Which is just the most adorable letter

I used to think "snuck" was correct, but TIL.

[–] jbrains@sh.itjust.works 4 points 11 hours ago

"snuck" is perfectly fine, as long as that's what you've heard since birth. 🤷

[–] Lyra_Lycan@lemmy.blahaj.zone 28 points 19 hours ago* (last edited 19 hours ago) (3 children)

Never trust Merriam-Webster. I don't know if the errors I found are fixed now, but the fact they existed in the first place is disappointing. The only trustworthy English dictionary is Oxford.

Edit: Snuck is a US informal term, according to the backup dictionary, Collins. This dictionary is riddled with ads, but also multiple sources for alternative definitions.

[–] someguy3@lemmy.world 10 points 15 hours ago (1 children)

The Merriam Webster link didn't say it was incorrect as the guy implied. They said it's a correct form and gave the history.

[–] b3an@lemmy.world 1 points 7 hours ago

Correct. Thats also what I read. Snuck is irregular, and came about due to common use anyway. So while it’s not correctly following ver typical rules, it’s adopted into the lexicon anyway.

Skibidi. 🙄🙄

[–] KSPAtlas@sopuli.xyz 8 points 14 hours ago

Dialects exist

Imagine being so far up your own ass you call another dialect a mistake that shouldn't exist.

There is no 'correct', there is only what is spoken. Snuck is perfectly acceptable.

[–] StrongHorseWeakNeigh@lemm.ee 16 points 20 hours ago (5 children)

I snuck into your mom's house last night

[–] TachyonTele@lemm.ee 12 points 19 hours ago (1 children)

Haha no, she wasn't able to keep mum. She never can.

[–] b3an@lemmy.world 1 points 7 hours ago

Unexpected comment elicited a guffaw… Well done 😁😂

Looks like kitty is along for the ride today, because I'm not taking a 2+ hour detour

[–] Wilco@lemm.ee 12 points 18 hours ago (1 children)

Yea, but what do you do? No litter box, no food and water ... also, the guy has a cat meowing at him in his work van all day.

[–] limelight79@lemm.ee 7 points 15 hours ago

Stop and buy supplies of course! Even most grocery stores carry disposable litter pans, or just a plastic bin, along with food. Even a paper bowl will work for water.

Holy moly proper use of the regular past tense of sneak?? I haven't seen that on the internet ever. "I sneaked my way into the concert, but I also snuck several beers into the venue."

[–] belastend@slrpnk.net 7 points 16 hours ago (11 children)

Wait, English has two different verbs "to sneak"?
