I’ll bring the lotion

For real I was getting futurama dog episode vibes… glad it wasn’t the case

How long has this guy been putting off doing the dishes?

One day, spiders get it done.

We have a species of spider around here that rebuilds its web 3 times a day, for catching the different bugs awake at each period.

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

A balanced diet is important.

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

Most spiders actually rebuild their web at least daily. They eat it and put it back up. Otherwise it gets dusty and not effective.

Please tell me more, I want to learn about this

Looks like several varieties spread around are the same species. I can tell you that not all varieties change their webs at the same rate. (The one described on wikipedia is not the one that lives here. The ones here lay a web at the morning, early afternoon and sunset. I've been in places where they don't change their webs at all, just keep them constant.)

That spider is also known for making swarms. But the age and behavior of the swarm changes from one variety to another.

They're the Amish of bugs

Long enough for "stainless" to not mean anything lol

They're Halloween decorations!

Now we need this but with a cat and the last panel reading “where the fuck have you been and where’s my damn food”

[–] [email protected] 39 points 1 month ago (6 children)

Do people who perpetuate this stereotype have cats? Because it seems like they don’t. My cat is psyched and affectionate as hell when I come home. All of my cats have been the same way.

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

I think a lot of people just don't know how to read cats as well as dogs. Cats can be very aloof but still very loving and most people just know how to read body language from dogs more than cats. Knowing that when a cat gives you that narrow eyed glare and slow blinking is actually a sign of affection is a good indicator that cats are just weird little things.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 month ago

A lot of people also just treat cats as they would dogs and are surprised they don't get the same responses.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 month ago

I have two. One of them is like this, the other one is more affectionate.

When my wife comes home from work, I tell her that the dogs are glad she is back from being gone forever again because she's gone forever and is never coming back every day.

"master"

I think they see us as family members more than masters

[–] [email protected] 21 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

Yeah, “master/subject” is a bummer of a way to think about your relationship with your pet

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

I think they see us as gods. That's why they get so upset when we can't do what they expect us to do something magical.

[–] [email protected] 17 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago) (1 children)

Aww I think that's what you get when your object permanence is kind of tenuous.

Nothing quite as heartwarming as a dog who's SO HAPPY TO SEE YOU AAAA after you've been gone for 30min – "aww I missed you too you goober"

[–] [email protected] 7 points 1 month ago

When you forget your wallet and come back after being gone 2 minutes.

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

I was freaking about to cry at first haha. Well done. 💗

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

Right?! I was like "OH no. I haven't even finished my coffee yet. I am NOT ready to start my day this way!" 🤣

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

The burden of the obsequious.

"The dog got in the food drawer again... and do the dishes!"

[–] [email protected] 8 points 1 month ago

I just adopted a dog that was breeding stock in a puppy mill. She bonded to me right away but has major separation anxiety. Even if I'm gone for 5 minutes, she goes nuts when I get back and acts like I've been gone for months.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 month ago (1 children)

That made me think of That Garfield comic

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 month ago

That the Futurama episode.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 month ago (3 children)

I read somewhere that on average 1 day of our life equates to 1 week for our beloved pups. I think of this everytime I'm feeling too lazy to engage with mine.

[–] [email protected] 18 points 1 month ago (1 children)

That's as far as life expectancy goes, not in perception of time.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 month ago

Fair point and I understand it. I simply meant that it is another data point that moves my emotions when I think about dogs general experience, like this comic highlights. Maybe too esoteric of a share lol.
