That rock must be so hot the cat melted.

Everything is comfortable when you're made of soft

LaForge: O'Brien, how can we figure out which cat the transporter malfunction turned riker into?

O'Brien: I think we've figured it out.

That's just a medieval cat.

Rescued an outdoor cat and he WOULD NOT sleep on soft surfaces. Wood, brick, tile, cardboard boxes, all cool.

Bed? Blankets? Get outta here!

My cat is like that. He likes to sit at the edge of things and just... droop over the edge

A cat can lie down and stand up at the same time.

The large stones here are still retaining some heat from when they were in the sun during the day.

These cats are taking advantage of it, absorbing some of that heat.

[–] markstos@lemmy.world 3 points 16 hours ago

I agree it’s this, or the opposite: the stone is cool and the cat is hot. Either way, maximizing surface area for thermal transfer is smart.

Sometimes when I’m overheated on a summer run, I’ll find a brick or concrete wall in the shade and flatten myself against for a quick full-body thermal transfer.

That's a pretty clever theory. I like it

[–] WhyIHateTheInternet@lemmy.world 20 points 1 day ago (1 children)

I bet that's awesome actually. Like an inversion table for people. But un-inverted...

~~Un-inverted~~ ~~inversion~~ table ~~for people~~.

If my math is correct, then it's like a table.

Hey buckaroo, Don’t try bringing logic to a dingleberry convention!

[–] WhyIHateTheInternet@lemmy.world 2 points 20 hours ago

You were very close. However, I'm talking about an un-inverted inversion table.

That cat looks like Elaster Girl from The Incredibles even she turns into a parachute lmao

~~I kinda wonder if this is an AI-generated pic~~... Okay, I got the message! I had never seen this before.

[–] Jankatarch@lemmy.world 2 points 17 hours ago

Was wondering too, thank you and your repliers for confirming it's not.

[–] Mantzy81@aussie.zone 4 points 22 hours ago* (last edited 22 hours ago) (1 children)

Nah, that's this one

But still, not everything is ai, and Photoshop (and editing in general) has existed far far longer than ai too.

[–] Mountainaire@lemmy.world 1 points 17 hours ago

Got it. I did not know how old the pic was.

[–] Iunnrais@piefed.social 9 points 1 day ago

I mean, cats are like that sometimes.

[–] Ephera@lemmy.ml 6 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Nah, I first saw this photo many years ago...

[–] Mountainaire@lemmy.world 3 points 1 day ago

Oh, okay; just checking since I'd never seen this before. Pre-AI content is becoming a global treasure...
