“You’re already” makes sense as a sentence and I don’t like it lol

I hate you so much rn

[–] [email protected] 13 points 1 year ago

I threw up in my dictionary

[–] [email protected] 59 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (3 children)

The reason it feels wrong is that "are" is the main verb in the sentence and shouldn't be contracted. You are only supposed to contract auxiliary verbs like "you're eating already" where eating is the main verb and are is auxiliary.

~~Edit: (I used a bad example because "eating" is a noun, as pointed out below.)~~

Un-edit: The example's correct, "eating" is a verb in this context.

Also, I'm thoroughly confused about who's saying "you're already" in this comic.

But "You're already fluffy" works without another main verb?

[–] [email protected] 14 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Yes. It doesn't work as "you're already" and really, it doesn't work all thay well as "you are already" either. This is almost yoda levels of rearrangement.

It makes the most sense as "you already are".

Its obviously the cat's ass, which explains its facial expression.

Also, is the cat saying it? The speak marker points to the cat on the third frame not the dude on the third or fourth.

She's already what though?

It is wrong: should be "You are already", as the emphasis of the sentence is on "are"

"If you want the cat experience, get the fluffy ear hair band, soft paw mittens and pluggable tail..."

Every time someone mentions genetic engieneering first response they get from people of my age is "When catgirls?"

[–] [email protected] 10 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Wtf is up with all the cat girl stuff? When did it become so popular?

Anime was a mistake

My wife always gets mad when I point out that the dog sits around all day, demands the food off of her plate, and constantly interrupts her when he is bored or wants attention, but she spends hours doting over him and praising him. I, on the other hand, work all day to sustain our lifestyle, spend a lot of my "leisure" time doing chores around the house, and am mindful to be polite, but I barely get a hug and "I love you".

For anyone who is in doubt, I mean it in jest. I don't need constant reassurance and reward to keep being a responsible adult. Also, though she will not admit it, she knows the dog is much cuter than me.

TIL "chu" is the sound of a kiss.

[–] [email protected] 28 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I think that's the noise they make in Japanese.

[–] [email protected] 21 points 1 year ago (5 children)

"Chu" is like "mwah".

Another fun one, instead of "ribbit" they say "kero".

Does he have a death wish?

[–] [email protected] 11 points 1 year ago

that voice seems to be coming from the cats anus

[–] [email protected] 13 points 1 year ago

I totally kiss my SO like that.

[–] [email protected] 13 points 1 year ago (4 children)

You can't put your face down on a pussy like that without blood splattering everywhere.

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

Plenty of cats will let you snuggle and love like this (not all ofc) Cats are more of a companionship, they will only let people they trust love on them.

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

Now I'm wondering if you got downvoted so badly because people are reading something else into your comment

[–] [email protected] 14 points 1 year ago

Yeah, I think people thought he was talking about a cat and had a different experience.
