I hate how much time I spend thinking “is this slop or not?” these days.

I know, I regularly find myself thinking the same thing. :( I hate it so much… especially for cute/funny animal pictures. Ugh.

As for this image, I did a reverse image search via TinEye, and the earliest it found it was in an Imgur post in January 2019. I don’t think the tools were available and good enough at that time, so I think it’s not generative AI slop, but someone please correct me if I’m wrong.

Gosh, his character as ‘himself’ on Arrested Development was so damn good. It gets me every time. I think I’m way past due for another rewatch; thanks for reminding me! This was also a wonderful usage of the reference and gif! :)

Aww! That’s one sweetie cutie comfy kitty right there!! <3

I just adore your kitty pictures and their accompanying poems! They’ve brightened my days many times. Thank you for that! And please pass my thanks on to your precious fluffy muses, as well! :)

I agree; I was thinking the exact same thing. Maybe the original creator of this image lived somewhere where what memes were popular there was lagging a few years behind everyone else, haha.

I love it, well done! The same goes for kitty: look at what your human wrote thanks to your trapping them with your snuggly lovey cuteness! I’m sure that was kitty’s plan all along. :)

Aww, what a beautiful and sweet little snugglebug! <3 I wish I could ever be even a fraction of that comfy and content! Lucky kitty :)

Right? I will never understand those who do (or support) these evil atrocities. I just don’t get it.

Bravo, kitty! Your work is a masterpiece! I am begging you to give us an encore!

Oh my goodness, this is so cute, I almost can’t stand it. <3 Thank you for sharing this with us and for putting a smile on my face!! :) (and if the kitty is yours, please tell them I said thank you to them, as well)

What babe?

🎶Strokin’ my Willie in the suu-uu-uu-uun~🎶

In their butthole. Where else!?

Oh my goodness, she is just SUCH a cutie!!!

Uuugh, fuck that! I am so deeply sorry. I’m disabled and of an age and gender that get heavily discriminated against, too…so I feel you. I’ve been there. It’s so awful and makes you feel like shit. I sincerely hope things get better for you ASAP! Here’s some Internet hugs, if you want them: 🫂

Seriously! The voice in my head never shuts the fuck up about it. And that’s in addition to the voices from people outside of my head saying it. It’s exhausting, I tell ya.

I’m so curious to know what the original context of this was…and why. Anyone know?

Well, at least we grew out of adding xD to the end of everything! XDDD

That’s odd, because I have one in the little post options menu. I probably changed some setting… Check out the advanced settings under general, I see ‘read/unread post’ related settings there, along with options to do it automatically on scrolling, etc.

I really like Raccoon, Summit, and Connect a lot. I switch around between them just for shits and giggles; they’re all great apps with cool, active developers. I’m currently writing this with Raccoon.

Oh my goodness, what a precious pretty baby you have there! What a lil sweetie pie! Please tell them I love them and give them all the pets and snuggles they want on my behalf! <3
