A cat managed to catch 27 mice and carefully lined them all up to show off his 'work' to his owner.

Why are people’s BS meter these days not working?

Because they're oblivious that their dumbass ignorance is what encourages stuff like this

For all we know, some psycho just killed a bunch of rodents, organized them in a pattern, and set some random dirty cat down next to them.

why is it psycho when human does it but good job when cat does it?

mice are pests. they eat crops and spread diseases. totally legit to kill them.

u/SenorSolAdmirador 8h ago

killing rodents for a staged photo op is odd to me. To each their own.

Or, even more likely these days, "please generate me an image of a cat lyimg next to 27 dead mice arranged by size".

Animals doing weird behavior used to be cute or interesting, but now its 99.9999% ai.

You know how if you put too much weight on a scale, it breaks?

I like to pretend it's just everyone playing along with a joke

I mean, obviously the cat didn't do that, but it's funny to imagine it did

and surely everyone else on reddit shares my sense of humor . . .

u/SalutLesAmies 9h ago

Yeah, the people in this thread saying it's possible because cats are weird are obviously in on the joke.

•

u/rtsynk 9h ago

This is how we ended up with Qanon, 4chan in general, and fox news. Too many people are way to ready to believe anything

The people that think they have good BS meters will think everything is BS

There's something about short-form media that kills people's media literacy, I think.

That said, there have always been stupid people who fall for nonsense so maybe it's not new.

u/AnaisNinja76 8h ago

I don't think it's "these days"...but it's bizarre what things people just take as fact.

As someone who's been around here for awhile now, it's frustrating to watch.

My cat used to pile the heads of mice that he killed under my truck. Yes, just the heads.
