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.

Where's my seat? Dammit

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.

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

Jk, I still like it.

[–] Soggy@lemmy.world 14 points 10 months ago (3 children)

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

[–] MellowSnow@lemmy.world 6 points 10 months ago

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 😭

[–] Blackmist@feddit.uk 5 points 10 months 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.

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

[–] Lyra_Lycan@lemmy.blahaj.zone 31 points 10 months ago* (last edited 10 months 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.

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

[–] someguy3@lemmy.world 12 points 10 months 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 4 points 10 months 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 10 months ago

Dialects exist

[–] FooBarrington@lemmy.world 7 points 10 months ago

Though, interestingly, it doesn't feel weird to me for the past form, only the past participle!

[–] Deceptichum@quokk.au 15 points 10 months ago (1 children)

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

[–] StrongHorseWeakNeigh@lemm.ee 15 points 10 months ago (2 children)

I snuck into your mom's house last night

[–] TachyonTele@lemm.ee 11 points 10 months ago (1 children)

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

[–] b3an@lemmy.world 2 points 10 months ago

Unexpected comment elicited a guffaw… Well done 😁😂

[–] jaybone@lemmy.zip 7 points 10 months ago (3 children)
[–] dharmacurious@slrpnk.net 3 points 10 months ago

This is the only correct form. Until this very moment I have almost always fallen on the descriptivist side of things, but this is now the prescriptivist hill I will die on.

I really appreciate you sharing that video with me and really enjoyed watching it.

Smelled or smelt?

He who smelt it delt it.

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

[–] Lucien@mander.xyz 29 points 10 months ago* (last edited 10 months ago) (1 children)

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

[–] Wilco@lemm.ee 12 points 10 months 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 9 points 10 months 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.

135 kilometres.

(Circa 2.3 times Saarland in north - south direction)

[–] belastend@slrpnk.net 5 points 10 months ago (5 children)

That's like, 1.3 times too many Saarlands.

He doesn't know what you're doing but wants to be a part of it :>

My uncle took his cat to the race track because of this 😂
