Chat is a text only community for casual conversation, please keep shitposting to the absolute minimum. This is intended to be a separate space from c/chapotraphouse or the daily megathread. Chat does this by being a long-form community where topics will remain from day to day unlike the megathread, and it is distinct from c/chapotraphouse in that we ask you to engage in this community in a genuine way. Please keep shitposting, bits, and irony to a minimum.
As with all communities posts need to abide by the code of conduct, additionally moderators will remove any posts or comments deemed to be inappropriate.
Thank you and happy chatting!

"Why don't people go outside anymore?"
Your outdoor cats and pollution killed all the birds, your cars and traps killed all the possums and now the grass is filled with ticks which will give you a horrible illness if they bite you
Which they will because ticks are icky
i used to go outside to stack rocks but that's illegal now
Outdoor cats (that are not properly managed, like used as mousers in a barn) are walking ecological disasters.
Even in barns they can still kill non pest animals while spreading T gondii
Barn owls for the win
You implied it first:
An outdoor cat is a wingless owl.
Release tick eating animals and start killing more deer
We feed an outdoor cat. And also family of possums and a family of raccoons. Haha. Tons of government spy drones flying around all day too I feel rather content knowing I have some tick killers around.
