Oh, thanks, old man, that is really very nice

I can always count on you for help and friendly advice

Though I've never seen a sword of quite that shape or size

Oh, God, that's not a sword, it's your cat in disguise

It was an archive of hacker/skiddie-friendly files hidden within that image. Things likes tools to overload/flood a website or server, keyloggers, and other things to leave behind, like offensive images or even a virus.

It's been 10+ years since I've seen it float around though.

What are you gonna do? Meow me to deaf? Is that even legal? It looks like a semiautomatic cat. My god, the 2nd amendment is being distorted.

I'm sorry, I have never not needed a kitten. Any situation is made more bearable with them about.

[–] some_guy@lemmy.sdf.org 13 points 4 weeks ago (1 children)

Probably not properly hygienic, but I'm willing to allow it.

I'm betting that it's a vet.

That completely makes sense and hadn't occurred to me. But I'd still like to imagine a world where my vaccination for flu or covid comes with a tiny fur face.

This works with guinea pig babies too, for a different flavor of pocket vocalizations

Anders wouldn't have gone off the deep end if Ser Pounce-A-Lot was in Dragon Age 2.
