Community Rules

  1. Must be a wholesome meme All posts must be wholesome memes: uplifting, life-affirming, or nice-ing up a rude meme. Photos or screenshots without superimposed text, as well as social media posts, are not memes.

  2. Be general, not specific Memes should be relatable, with universally uplifting themes. Avoid posts that promote an ideology, religion, or brand over others, & posts that show individuals' politeness without some universal theme. Memes about controversial themes, people, and/or institutions are not allowed either.

  3. No NSFW content Please avoid submitting NSFW content. PG-13 is fine, but please tag those "NSFW" for young or sensitive users.

  4. No trolling, harassing, or general rudeness Please no trolling, harassment, rudeness, or behaviour unbecoming of the wholesome users we know you to be. Keep comments civil and be respectful of your fellow users. Be nice. This is a happy place. No proselytizing. Keep your religion, your politics, your diet, and any other crusade you might carry to yourself. We come here to get away from arguing and politics and the like, so please respect that by keeping your agendas to yourself.

  5. No personal info or private communication Please do not post personal info, yours or others. All names should be blocked out, except public figures. Also, private communication & private posts are private; please don't post them here.

  6. Post must link to image directly. Please link to images directly. This makes browsing easier for those using RES or through a mobile device

  7. Low Effort Meme Please do not submit low effort memes or mention upvotes in your post.

This includes "Let's get this to the front page!" type posts, "You have been visited by", "people who sort by new", "stop scrolling", Low effort memes include: Skyrim "Wholesome 100", "You're Breathtaking", Thanos "That does put a smile on my face", [happiness noises], Fallout [Everybody liked that], and "Because that's what heroes do". This isn't an exhaustive list, but I think you get the idea!

  1. No reposts Avoid posting memes that have already been posted to this sub. Fresh content is vital. We may allow a repost at our discretion, if it has not already been a frontpage post, and if it has been over 6 months since it was last posted here. Do not spam or post more than 3 memes in a 24 hour period.

  2. Please make an effort with your title Set your post up for success. "Does this fit here?" helps nobody. Being funny or descriptive helps. And trying is good.

I’m in a long distance relationship. When i’m with my boyfriend his cat is the most loving and affectionate animal i’ve ever met in my life. She loves me more than him. To the point where she cries if she isn’t allowed to sit on the bed when i play xbox.

On facetime she keeps showing me her butt.

She think the one on the screen it's your evil twin.

Cats turning their back to you is a sign of trust!

But why male models?

[–] Dagwood222@lemm.ee 6 points 1 year ago (1 children)

iirc there was a study. The smarter animals can't process the images on a screen.

[–] nameisnotimportant@lemmy.ml 6 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (2 children)

I think that you are referring to the fact that many animals can't cope / process their own reflection in the mirror and fail to identify themselves, as discussed here and there in more detail.

My budgie is BFFs with his reflection, as you'd expect. He loves me, but shows no reaction to my reflection. He is usually happy enough to make friends with other people, and he can tell me apart from others.

But he never shows any reaction to my reflection, only his own. If we both stand by the mirror, he'll tell his mirror friend about his day, he'll tell my actual hand or nose, but it's like he can't even see the reflection of my hand. It's weird.

long time cat owner. None of mine ever look at the screen.

[–] nameisnotimportant@lemmy.ml 5 points 1 year ago

Mine definitely does, for instance when I look a documentary with other animals, so 🤷‍♀️

"Love you machine hooman, I hope it's not scawy in the Matwix"

"Mother of God... what black magic sorcery is this?..."

[–] WhyIDie@lemmy.ml 3 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

"Oh no, he's spying on me. How do I turn this thing off?"

[–] z500@startrek.website 1 points 1 year ago

If sound like friend, why smell like machine??
