Hackman's Maze

Games are an intellectual's ideal world, a place where everything is simplified down enough to be controllable.

Snow Leopard Leaps Nearly 30 Feet

[why-animals-do-the-thing]

Look at this fantastic pounce by a snow leopard! We often get videos of athleticism in domestic cats, rarely for bigger ones. You can see how that huge tail helps counterbalance the leap in mid-air. This is a great example of enrichment that encourages natural behavior, too.

“Cats don’t actually love you”

A cat is a small creature in the middle of the food chain that is fully aware that you are a very large thing that could stomp its head in at any moment and yet it chooses to rest its tiny little head on your leg for a nap and spreads out on the floor near you exposing its belly and its most sensitive organs. It brings dead mice and bugs to you to share food.

Don’t you get it? This tiny thing trusts you. It wants to help you too. It licks your leg thinking that it’s helping. It kneads on you to find comfort. It shares its body warmth with you in the cold and gives you your space in the heat. It hisses at other mammals it sees outside including other cats in an effort to protect its family.

Cats love you so so much. But they will keep trying to eat plastic.

[hackmansmaze]

Cats not loving you is something I'm always surprised that people are willing to confess about themselves. They don't seem to realize it's a self-burn.

"immortality sucks because all your friends die" all your friends die anyway. those we do not mourn are those who mourn us.

"immortality sucks because you forget who you are" we always forget who we are. do you remember who you were at four years of age? who you were at fourteen? "who i am" is a shadow cast on the wall.

"immortality sucks because" skill issue. skill issue. skill issue. give me your liver

[hackmansmaze]

"immortality sucks because what if I get bored" Four millennia of history, 500 years of written works, millions of TV shows, movies, and games, literally thousands of languages/musical instruments/artsyles/kinks/sciences to learn, and all of that is just the extant stuff, never mind what will develop or get produced later...

Bored? FUCKING HOW?!

best thing tumblr ever did for me is the term "rotating it in my mind". it's really true that sometimes you think about something real hard but you can't tell what the thoughts are exactly. it's revolutionary stuff, i might even say

[vulpineprince]

sometimes the subject of your thoughts is just in this thing

[ablondpanda]

Ah, there it is!

If you're not making sure your blorbos are sufficiently tumbled, are you even doing it right?

The lion does not concern itself with the bank account balance when a little treat is calling

[mihai-florescu]

The lion will never financially recover from this

[hackmansmaze]

That sounds suspiciously like a big treat
