Its okay for cats because they're cute and adorable, which elon isn't.

Isn't that the litterbox infamous for murdering cats?

[–] SanctimoniousApe@lemmings.world 2 points 4 days ago* (last edited 4 days ago)

According to this article, no - the door on the bad design closes horizontally. The article actually uses a pic of this very box (or extremely similar) as an example of a "reputable" design. But then again, it also advised people to stop using the bad design, and to talk to their vet (why?!?) about the "next steps to take." 🤷‍♀️

It's also because cats have no object permanence, just like Elon

[–] John_Blund@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 points 3 days ago (1 children)

Cats do have object permanence though? So cats are in fact; smarter and cuter.

[–] Jivebunny@lemmy.world 1 points 3 days ago* (last edited 3 days ago)

Yeah that's right. Was just ranting. Haha. We're in the onion community

[–] humorlessrepost@lemmy.world 6 points 5 days ago

Now I’m imagining a cat without object permanence trying to hunt a mouse.

[–] Robust_Mirror@aussie.zone 5 points 5 days ago

This is literally my cat when I'm in the bathroom.

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Groom_of_the_Stool

The Groom of the Stool (formally styled: "Groom of the King's Close Stool") was the most intimate of an English monarch's courtiers, initially responsible for assisting the king in excretion and hygiene.

The physical intimacy of the role naturally led to his becoming a man in whom much confidence was placed by his royal master and with whom many royal secrets were shared as a matter of course.

The office developed gradually over decades and centuries into one of administration of the royal finances, and under Henry VII, the Groom of the Stool became a powerful official involved in setting national fiscal policy, under the "chamber system".[1][2]

National Fecal policy

This is Trump we are talking about, so musk's title is probably more like "Presidential diaper changer".

This is more info than we EVER needed or wanted to know about Elon's kinks.

[–] islands@lemmy.cafe 45 points 5 days ago (1 children)

I approve of all this content painting Musk as an invasive little brat who has no boundaries and is desperate to try to buy his way into the cool kids inner circle. Notice me, senpai!

[–] bitchkat@lemmy.world 6 points 5 days ago

Isn't that what they used to say about Trump?

[–] psycho_driver@lemmy.world 45 points 5 days ago (1 children)

This just in: Manufacturing efforts at the Tesla factory have been diverted to focus on building a bathroom door lock-picking robot.

[–] Glitterbomb@lemmy.world 29 points 5 days ago

"Musk SLAMS local locksmith, calls him a pedophile for opening the lock first"

[–] Nougat@fedia.io 36 points 5 days ago

This just leaves Musk to scratch at the base of the door and wave his fingers around in the gap beneath the door until Donald finally relents, allowing Musk to enter and curl up in the crotch of Donald's pants while he's taking a shit.

feels bad about it after a minute and lets him

[–] bitchkat@lemmy.world 9 points 5 days ago

He's not going to wipe himself.

[–] halcyoncmdr@lemmy.world 23 points 5 days ago

Oh he doesn't like being follows into places that are meant to be more private when you're exposed? Wonder what the various women Trump has admitted walking in on thought about his similar behavior?

[–] sunbytes@lemmy.world 7 points 4 days ago

I cannot wait for what these guys are going to do with infowars.

[–] Flax_vert 10 points 5 days ago

This needs to be an article series.

[–] Takios@discuss.tchncs.de 5 points 4 days ago

The First Lady is very needy in this upcoming administration.

[–] ohellidk@sh.itjust.works 9 points 5 days ago (1 children)

well somebody's gotta give him the blumpkin, right?

[–] Doom@ttrpg.network 7 points 5 days ago

And Eric will be damned if anyone else is taking that spot. That's daddy and Eric time

[–] Sam_Bass@lemmy.world 8 points 5 days ago* (last edited 5 days ago) (1 children)

Orangetard has enough shit in his pants he doesn't need anymore

[–] corsicanguppy@lemmy.ca 4 points 5 days ago

Nice. The spelling mistake makes it look like Trump soils pants just before donating them.

[–] HawlSera@lemm.ee 5 points 5 days ago

I think you made a mistake, this is for satirical pieces.

[–] cranakis@reddthat.com 5 points 5 days ago

Nah, Trump poops and texts whenever Elon goes into a K-hole. It's a solid routine. 😆

[–] Sibbo@sopuli.xyz 6 points 5 days ago (1 children)

Who's gonna wipe his butt then?

[–] corsicanguppy@lemmy.ca 5 points 5 days ago

Based on trends witht he rest of his staff

  • Trump had someone
  • he probably handled classified shit (heh)
  • either Trump tried to have him killed or he went to jail.

So he'll need another. Who's the judge who's been cleaning up his smelly messes and isn't imprisoned?

[–] Matthew_Gasoline@lemmy.world 5 points 5 days ago

Brings a new meaning to "Closed door meetings".
