  • I feel like jokes are a reflection on the people making them, based on their own experiences and biases. Jokes also need to be rooted in some kind of reality we all agree on in order to subvert and become funny.

    A dumb joke about cats not wanting toys still tells me the owner has no idea or doesn’t care. And I’ve met these owners many times before. So many people see their pets as furniture and understand nothing about them, their personalities or their needs.


  • I’d say Sarah doesn’t know much about cats or is just lazy.

    Cats love toys, but it needs to be engaging. They love their pray to feel alive, to move, to hide. A crumpled up piece of paper on a string tied to a stick works wonders. That means the owner needs to participate, but most don’t. Also cats are crepuscular so for maximum success keep play limited the evening or morning. You might be surprised how much of a hunter your cat actually is.











  • For work I used to have an agenda with notes but over time I realized it’s impossible to actually keep organized and have the most important things be the most easy to find. I moved to onenote and never looked back.

    For personal notes I use a tablet with pen because it’s fun to write by hand without wasting trees and it still being digital it’s easier to organize and move information around.




  • It’s been better since moving away from lemmy.world, then Sync being available also helped a lot. But unfortunately as many have noted already, this is not as easy to get into for more casual users so it’s heavily biased towards tech topics and communities. Smaller communities will probably take a lot longer to take off if at all and I’m sad about that loss so far.
