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.

[–] Soggy@lemmy.world 14 points 1 year ago (3 children)

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

[–] MellowSnow@lemmy.world 6 points 1 year 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 1 year 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 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year 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 13 points 1 year 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 1 year 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 10 points 1 year ago

Dialects exist

[–] FooBarrington@lemmy.world 8 points 1 year ago

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

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

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

[–] Noodle07@lemmy.world 34 points 1 year ago

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 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year 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 1 year 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 1 year 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 1 year 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."

[–] belastend@slrpnk.net 8 points 1 year ago (8 children)

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

Hmmmm

My German speaking brain (as a second language, my native language is English) is interpreting “my way” and “several beers” as accusative objects, and the repeated use of “into” as clues which would make me want to use the same conjugation for both. I could see “I sneaked into the concert but I also snuck several beers in.”

Which is just the most adorable letter

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 😂
