Even if cats could talk, and could definately see the stripes, I'm convinced that they wouldn't tell anyone.
They'd gossip about them with other cats behind your back
"Kevin's stripes make him look like a moron"
\ Kevin whistling while sweeping the kitchen oblivious to the fact that he has stripes let alone stupid looking ones and that cats can talk
I know it's the wrong sub for this opinion, but that's a fucking annoying way to post.
It's convenient for mobile users, I can see how it would be frustrating for people with landscape/horizontal monitor though.
I am using google chrome and I found that opening the post's image in a new tab, clicking on the image once to zoom in, and then adjusting the zoom setting to 250% made the image easier to view and scroll. I hope that helps.
If cats can see them, then surely we can make tech that converts those wavelengths to one's humans can see, so we can admire each other's stripes.
not sure i can follow, but is this true or some collective trolling/joking/pranking or something of the sort ?

At least the pattern part seems true.
Anyone know whether we can see these stripes in some way? IR cameras? Ultraviolet spectrum?
Sort of off topic. But if you are putting a disclaimer that something is "gender neutral", just use a different word. Y'all? Fam? 😂
For those that say these are inherently gender neutral, how many bros have you slept with? Would you sleep with a man? This is all literally patriarchy. Male isn't the "default" human experience.
Bro and dude have effectively become gender neutral for referring to someone. It's not patriarchy, it's how a language evolves.
Yes, male is the default in the English language. When the gender of someone is unknown or you're referring to someone casually you use the default gender of the language. In Welsh, the default is female. Same as Maasai and Mohawk.
I agree on dude, and can see bro coming but at present in my daily life bruh is the neutral. And I do hope it wins or else it's mankind all over again
Firstly, does thinking a "(gender neutral)" at the end of sentance is really weird and awkward truly make me the language police? Come on, it's clunky at best, a weird lazy lamshapde to virtue signal at worst. Just use something else if your intent is to have something gender neutral.
But to answer your question. If your lady friends don't mind being called dude, then why should I?
Your argument doesn't really work, because 'bro' isn't a word used to describe sex partners, in the same vein, you would never say "I've slept with the boys", but you could use the sentence "I was hanging out with the boys".
Sure, I'm not really trying to play a semantics game so much as call attention to the fact that these are inherently gendered terms. If you were to say "hanging out with the girls (gender neutral)" or say "hanging out with the boys (gender neutral)", you are just being awkward and should just change the word.
That's fair I suppose, to me, "bro" is an inherently gender neutral term, though "girls" is gender neutral to me in the same vein.
Adding on the 'gender neutral' is kinda redundant, and I can see why it would be annoying, actually, it's annoying me too now, because if the writer simply used "bros" and not "bros (gender neutral)", the expression's gender (gender/non-gendered) would not have been moved to gendered, and most people would understand it to be a gender neutral expression.
Genuine question because that confused the heck out of my brain.
What does gay and non-binary together mean? Are you only attracted to other non-binary people?
I had a straight non-binary friend once; ze was small and androgynous and ze would generally date "lumberjack witch" enbies or other people who were differently gendered from zir.
