I'm only here for a laugh

I made this transparent PNG the night he died in preparation for one of the many ways I was going to memorialize him--a surface rug in his likeness that I planned on laying directly in the line of his favourite sunbeam. And I uploaded that PNG here, because this is the website where people post their cats.

I was not expecting the reception I got. Many people have pointed out that this post has more reblogs than likes, and how insane that is in 2025 when reblog culture is at an all time low. I didn't even talk about the fact that Burger passed away in the original post, it wasn't a tearjerker reblog bait or anything like that. People just loved Burger that much, in the same way I fell in love with him at first sight. He was such an ugly kitten.

Anyways, it's really special to me that so many people have reblogged my best friend. I made this PNG to memorialize him in a completely different way, and you all wound up doing just that in ways I never even imagined.

Thank you. Wherever he is, I know the sun is shining.

Also the further you move toward the poles the more pronounced the difference between the length of day and night is. Worst part of a far-north (or south) heatwave is it doesn’t get dark long enough for meaningful cooling.

1. How do you lose a Giraffe? She apparently scaled a cliff that served as part of the enclosure (which the other giraffes in the herd had shown no interest in climbing.)

2. Well it should be easier to find her, she's a whole ass giraffe? Yeah, you'd think, but Texas ranches are fuckin huge. The man has apparently hired a helicopter and several drones to aide the search, but no luck yet. She's been seen on some game cameras on the nearby ranches though. But she's sneaky.

Oh _lovely_. Everyone go turn this off:

I'd definitely recommend using the tool Winaero Tweaker instead, which not only can disable Copilot in a single click, but has so many features inside which can make windows just a little bit less insane to use, including removing telemetry, and even reverting some UI changes (though controversial i think 11 does look better than 10. coughs)

it's simply a frontend to gpedit and regedit as you kindaaa shouldnt be going in there and changing things yourself as things might break.

heres a fun thing you can do as well: try installing it by opening your terminal, and typing "winget install winaero.tweaker". which is Windows' built in package manager. you can also use "winget upgrade winaero.tweaker" to keep it up to date (really a good thing to do as Microsoft loves changing things around) or "winget upgrade --all" to update everything on your computer which winget supports.

it's a very handy (though extremely shitty) tool that will get you used to the main difference between windows and Linux, if you ever plan on switching. Its also just pretty convenient, you can even use it to install Microsoft Store stuff without an account, and was my preferred way to install anything while using Windows anyway.

you have three hours // we can have forever

bonus:

MY LORD?? there is no way I can follow you there!
