Yeah, I was more referencing how cats basically showed up and were all "become more domestic, and we'll move in and keep you safer".

For reference, you can get from the center of town to the other side of the border in about an hour on a bike.

Cats as well.

If you store grain you get mice/rats, that's true even today(don't eat raw flour), which leads to cats.

Humans realized that fewer mice means more grain and left cats alone. But one theory is that families who let the cats hang around their home more had fewer instances of diseases carried by rodents, which further led humans to want cats to be around.

So don’t ever tell self-diagnosed people they don’t know how their own body works.

And that's where you lost people.

No.

The vast majority of ADHD memes made by self-diagnosed people who have no idea how it actually works.

They're the same as the type of people who claim they have OCD because they like to clean up right after eating. While in reality people with severe OCD can end up standing outside their front door in the rain and get soaking wet for 20min, because they have to unlock the door in pattern they can't get right.

The earliest urban dictionary entry for yeet was made in 2008, when you are literally part of the generation that popularized the word.

Yeah that's how it goes.

Just earlier today I spent an embarrassing amount of time trying figure out an issue where the classic "debug print" didn't give the correct value. And as is often the case, I had forgot to change print to the new test variable.
