Social media effect, the odds are not in your favour. Comparing your random pictures to the best pictures of thousands of other people combined into one entity.

Mathematically, you shouldn't be able to randomly happen accross even one picture that compares, let alone is better than any one of the top rated posts on a social media site.

Having said that, pictures of a cat you care about automatically get bonus points to you and you'll like your pictures way more than what are effectively the equivalent of super model cats you don't have any investment in.

My apologies, I took your post as though you were being serious. Wanted to explain that you shouldn't feel bad and why.

[-] Ethanol@pawb.social 3 points 9 months ago

Maybe your answer was not needed here but it is a very important one nonetheless! Especially when people compare themselves to the internet!

[-] ComfyMuffin@lemmy.world 3 points 9 months ago

No worries lol, I just got very strong r/iamverysmart vibes. Thank you for the info! The meme is really just to make fun of the cat, which tends to be my day job

Orange, never had a turn with the braincell.

He hears the screams of the bits of carpet he hasn't thrown up on yet.

[-] VelvetStorm@lemmy.world 29 points 9 months ago

[-] brettvitaz@programming.dev 23 points 9 months ago

Your cat is adorable

[-] Timecircleline@sh.itjust.works 19 points 9 months ago

He looks so concerned! I love him and hope whatever he's worried about works out for him.

[-] ComfyMuffin@lemmy.world 9 points 9 months ago

I often question why he looks so anxiety-ridden all the time, as his day job is napping and property destruction.

[-] MonsiuerPatEBrown@reddthat.com 11 points 9 months ago

look at your cat in the eyes and close your eyes slowly and leave them closed.

they need to know that you trust them

[-] ComfyMuffin@lemmy.world 4 points 9 months ago

[-] KazuyaDarklight@lemmy.world 9 points 9 months ago

This cat needs all the hugs, send him to my place, I'll hook him up.

[-] platypus_plumba@lemmy.world 8 points 9 months ago

Reminds me of Andrew Tate going to jail for some reason.

Me, looking at both the top and bottom parts: "These are the same picture"

[-] OpenStars@startrek.website 8 points 9 months ago

A non-purrfect picture of a cat doesn't exis... oh. :-P

[-] cloudless@feddit.uk 7 points 9 months ago

Your cat gets more upvotes. He knows the social media game.

[-] Maddie@sh.itjust.works 7 points 9 months ago

That cat has seen some things, man, and some stuff

[-] selokichtli@lemmy.ml 7 points 9 months ago

She has grace o.O

[-] jecht360@lemmy.world 7 points 9 months ago

I've spent a lot of time trying to get good photos of my rabbits; it requires a good bit of persistence to get those nice pet photos.

[-] psud@lemmy.world 7 points 9 months ago

That's a fat cat

[-] Resol@lemmy.world 6 points 9 months ago

This is my cat. He just bites random shit all day.

[-] RIP_Cheems@lemmy.world 6 points 9 months ago

He wants you to see his eyes

[-] covert_czar@lemmy.dbzer0.com 6 points 9 months ago

Pov: when your cat is equally depressed like you

[-] VindianaJones@lemmy.world 5 points 9 months ago

I mean, I like yours better.

[-] aniki@lemm.ee 4 points 9 months ago

You just take shit pictures. Low angles, sometimes LOWER than the cat, plus bokeh [portrait mode on a phone]. Pay attention to your background and composure.

In each picture on top the lens is the same level or lower as the cats eyes.

[-] thedirtyknapkin@lemmy.world 6 points 9 months ago

en, your mileage may vary on portrait mode. fur is what is struggles the most with. personally I'd go for getting close and letting the natural depth of field shine through for what it's worth. most phones are at like an f:/2.8. they can have natural bokeh, they're just ultra wide angle so you gotta get close.

it may just be me, but those wonky edges make it look worse than if it just didn't have the effect at all.

It's funnier to take bad pictures tho. Why else would I have a cat?
