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.

[-] some_guy@lemmy.sdf.org 44 points 1 year ago

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

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

[-] MellowSnow@lemmy.world 5 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 😭

I used to think "snuck" was correct, but TIL.

[-] Lyra_Lycan 38 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

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

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. 🙄🙄

Dialects exist

[-] FooBarrington@lemmy.world 9 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.

[-] FooBarrington@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

I feel so loved right now <3

[-] jbrains@sh.itjust.works 6 points 1 year ago

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

[-] Lucien@mander.xyz 29 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

Looks like kitty is along for the ride today, because I'm not taking a 2+ hour detour

[-] Wilco@lemm.ee 13 points 1 year ago

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

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 7 points 1 year ago

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 :>

[-] leighweigh@badatbeing.social 5 points 1 year ago

My uncle took his cat to the race track because of this 😂
