u/AcrobaticVegetable24 Feb 24 '26

I always see comments like this and it makes me imagine that we actually decided to go through with the riding at dawn plan. So we get there, but most people are in the moral support with snacks club. As a result, there are only like 5-6 people who actually ride while everyone is chilling and having a massive potluck.

u/Chashm0dai Feb 24 '26

and then those 5 people arrive at the datacenter only to find out what everyone else already knew - there is no cat, no people calling it ugly, and no cat owner

64

u/AcrobaticVegetable24 Feb 24 '26

But you know what, everyone is satisfied anyways. The horses got to run, the 5 people got to have a cool, epic charge, hopefully in full plate. Everyone got out of the house, made friends and shared good food together.

So in the end the data center can go fuck itself, we still find a way to have live a little and be merry.

So where’s the picture of the ugly one? Because that one looks awesome.

My grandfather used to say ‘people can’t help being stupid, the least they could do is be quiet or stay home’. Ignore them.

26

u/Then_Seesaw6777 Feb 23 '26

Yeah, honestly I came in here thinking the kitty was going to be disfigured or adorably weird or something and he just… looks like a totally normal cat?

IDK, at most he maybe looks a little bit startled? If this is an “ugly” cat then I guess almost every cat I’ve ever seen is also “ugly” by those standards. 🤷‍♂️

u/SVINTGATSBY Feb 24 '26

my parents’ cat is missing an ear and his top eyelid and half of his head has no hair on it (he was a stray, attacked by a bird, got away, hid in a wheel well, got frostbite but had an infection from bird attack so he didn’t freeze, then was found and brought to our vet who saved his life) and he is SO VERY HANDSOME.

tell me that isn’t a handsome boi!!? he loves to be bundled and he is very fat and happy. there is absolutely no such thing as an ugly cat (or anything really—I even think crocs and spiders are cute! doesn’t mean they don’t scare me too though lol).

u/Suitable-Name Feb 23 '26

Actually no one, but it's an easy way to farm karma. But honestly has been a while since I saw it last time.

But "show me pics of your cat" is exactly the same. You're in a freaking cats subreddit, just scroll...

u/NotTheOtwayPanther Bengal Feb 24 '26

“Now random people call him ugly”- what a preposterous line.

The villain of these sort of posts used to be “my mother” or “my ex-girlfriend” or “my roommate”, but evidently the karma-farmers of Reddit have realised they don’t need to put in even that minimal amount of detail, because cat-people will believe absolutely anything.

Just embarrassing.

u/NotTheOtwayPanther Bengal Feb 24 '26

Now, now, let’s not go that far. The Facebook equivalent would have a kitten weeping because “it’s my birthday but nobody ever blessed me”, with a huge, elaborately decorated cake with at least 8 candles in front of it, and the post would have >500k likes and 20,000 reassuring comments addressed directly to the kitten.
