Mad World

Really? If we have to pick something the Internet likes best it's probably funny cat videos and memes.

No it didn't.

I'll take a stab at this...


Cats are sort of messengers between worlds, right? That's how the Egyptians saw them. I think we as humans see ourselves in cats sometimes because they can be independent and irritable or loving and lovable. And on the internet, we want to show different facades of ourselves, we want to signal about who we are. We don't tend to show our weak or vulnerable selves, same as a cat.

I think the internet loves to find the secret side of familiar things, and cats are one of those familiar things we often see which has an adorable, relatable, secret and funny face. We aren't sure if cats really love us or hate us, just as we don't really know whether most other people do.

I don't know. Lol. It is a commonly known and often parodied fact that the internet loves cats. I think I'd have an easier time buying "the internet is merely a sentient egregore which has chosen cats as its figurehead"

...one or two, I said...

Are you speaking for caelus and the intent of her post as well as your own understanding?

Are you reading minds?

I like where the conversation went.

I just thought you would like where it went since you use to have an avatar of a white cat with a blue hat. I can still see it very clearly in my mind.

You just got the ball rolling.

..and for old time's sake, though I do trust in the clarity of your visual acuity...

...but you've never seen it full-size :3

in the book, he tells Winston:

We shall crush you down to the point from which there is no coming back. Things will happen to you from which you could not recover, if you lived a thousand years. Never again will you be capable of ordinary human feeling. Everything will be dead inside you. Never again will you be capable of love, or friendship, or joy of living, or laughter, or curiosity, or courage, or integrity. You will be hollow. We shall squeeze you empty and then we shall fill you with ourselves.

Yep. That's the one. :)

Cutie. I miss having a cat a lot.

I miss having fewer than four... lol

I would have 2 if I could. More dogs too. And maybe a highland cow, miniature donkey..some goats.

Maybe some day.

Me and my boyfriend recently went vegetarian...
I think part of it for me was all the coronavirus research. I saw some really horrible videos...

I didn't realize you were in a relationship. I thought you said the treatment center frowns on that.

Does he live there as well?


Yeah..I purposely avoid any disturbing videos ever since I watched that Chinese toddler get run over by that van. After that..I barely click any links to stuff that is disturbing like that. It stays with you, forever.

What's seen, can't be unseen.
