Just another Lemmy user, and also an idiot who accidentally wiped his Lemmy instance not once but twice. Oh well, third time’s the charm.
A little over a year ago, I adopted a female kitten. But she had (and still has) endless supply of energy. I once spent like 1.5 hours playing with her to tire her out and in the end I was the one to tire out. So adopted another female kitten 1 month younger. After the standard introduction, they got along fairly well. But even to this day the older one likes to bully the younger one whenever she’s in the mood. After the bullying session (with comical yells for help) end, they’d often sleep right next to each other.
There are some crazy good models out there to download for free. I was just messing around and without much prompt engineering was getting pretty decent results. Give it another few years and it’ll be even better no doubt

She was just super tired after a long play session, normally she prefers to curl up but here she just became a noodle cat
Is there another way of eating cake?
I have done that before. Its great before and during the cake consumption, but afterwards the regret sets in when your bloated stomach tries to digest the consequences of your actions
Just lots of scratch posts and reward positive behavior with treats and praise.
Also clipping their nails from time to time helps. Unlike declawing (which is basically a surgical amputation, and is basically animal abuse), nail clipping doesn’t hurt the cat and isn’t a permanent thing, but it does help with damage control
That I’m not really sure. I do know however that early exposure (from childhood) to allergens helps prevent allergies from developing later in life.
So people who had a cat when they were a child are much less likely to develop cat allergies when adults, and similarly children who eat nuts are less likely to develop nut allergies
Its actually a misconception, its not the fur thats causing the allergic reaction, its actually a protein the cats produce that can be found in their saliva. So when they groom themselves, the protein gets onto their fur.
Interesting fact, intact males produce more of this protein compared to female and neutered males.
Also, you can buy certain cat food that will help manage the protein (it doesn’t eliminate or stop it being produced, it just deactivates the protein). So thats one possible solution for people with allergies. Though if you’re super sensitive, it mightn’t help much.
EDIT: here’s the source
Very very true.
If you just regularly clean the litter box and use decent litter, smell is not an issue at all.
But no matter how often or thoroughly I brush and deshed my cats, there will always be hair everywhere.
I’m not really the correct person to answer this, since I’m not struggling to the same degree as you are.
However I once heard a good tip on how to save money. Most people, when they receive their salary spent it first on the necessities (food, rent, etc) and then save the remainder (if anything is left). But instead you should first save a percentage of your pay before spending on any necessities. That way, your brain will try to make the best use the remaining money to survive the best it can
I don’t really mind nor care when someone is wrong about something as long as they’re not bothering/affecting other people.
For example:
Someone believes that flat earth is real. Fine, whatever, you’re not really going to cause any harm with this.
On the other hand, during the pandemic, when people refused to wear masks/take vaccines. Then it becomes a problem because they’re affecting other people (potentially putting them at risk)
Gollum:
Anything on the web that is accessible by you is accessible by web scrapers. So to answer your question, yes.
Unless Lemmy goes down the route of Twitter (I refuse to call it by its new name, it’s dumb) of blocking access unless you login. That’s just how things are.
This reminded me of the time during Covid where the UK covid information for patients was stored in Excel.
Didn’t turn out well for them
