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

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.

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.

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

[–] [email protected] 1 points 6 days ago

The difference is that you or I would be putting the cats in the car. This cat got in the vehicle, passed out, and woke up on a road trip.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 week 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 😭

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 week 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.

[–] [email protected] 32 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week 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.

[–] [email protected] 21 points 1 week ago

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

[–] [email protected] 12 points 1 week 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.

Dialects exist

[–] [email protected] 23 points 1 week ago (1 children)
[–] [email protected] 9 points 1 week ago

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

[–] [email protected] 15 points 1 week ago (1 children)

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

[–] [email protected] 16 points 1 week ago (2 children)

I snuck into your mom's house last night

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

It depends whether you're English or American. Spelt is English.

[–] [email protected] 10 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Spelt is also a grain, a variant of wheat.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 week ago

Yeah, one of the earliest cultivars

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

[–] [email protected] 34 points 1 week ago

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

[–] [email protected] 30 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago) (1 children)

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

[–] [email protected] 13 points 1 week 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.

[–] [email protected] 9 points 1 week 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)

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 week ago (5 children)

That's like, 1.3 times too many Saarlands.

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."

[–] [email protected] 8 points 1 week ago (11 children)

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