This meme is a good alibi if you ever wanna take your cat on a work road trip...

Is that even a thing or am I just weird for wanting to do it?

The majority of cats fucking hate cars, they're very susceptible to motion sickness, and have a hard time adjusting.

My former work had a cat that sneaked onto a customer’s trailer, got off in town, then hitchhiked back. Later, she hopped in the UPS guy’s truck. He found her at the next stop and brought her back.

My cat is pretty chill in the car... He's surprisingly chill about almost everything, really.

It could be dangerous, I wouldn't take the risk

Yeah, you might find out that your cat is better at your job than you, that could ruin your self-esteem

It's happened in my company. The CSO was on a zoom call while driving with his cat in the car with him.

Both are fine. Sneaked is traditional.

"Sneaked" is the traditional past tense and past participle of the verb "sneak". "Snuck" is a newer, nonstandard past tense of "sneak" that originated in the United States in the early 20th century. However, "snuck" is now widely accepted and appears in many publications

past participle

Im so glad i was raised in the language so i can just speak without ever needing to learn this shit. My eyes have always glazed over in English class. An adjective that's also a verb? Gtfo

Yeah, also when English is your first language you are not judged harshly when you make a mistake.

same shit happened to me with french, though tbf, i just cant fucking stand spoken laungage, shit is a nightmare, and so is french.

The constructed language Lojban doesn't actually differentiate between adjectives, verbs, nouns and adverbs, because it turns out separating words into categories like that isn't a useful exercise.

For example, is "shower" a noun or a verb? What about "bike?"

Take the word "green." In English, color words are pretty strictly adjectives. in English, you say a traffic light "turns green." In Lojban, you would say the light "is greening" or "greens." Funny how you can also make English do that, huh?

Speak Spuck.

It took me a minute to remember what the actual past tense of "speak" is.

I should've really clarified. I wasn't really trying to correct, I just find snuck to be way funnier.

This clip came to mind immediately while reading the note.

My childhood cat came along for a family vacation one time. Climbed in while we were packing the car and we'd gone way too far to turn around when we found out.

[–] LemmyKnowsBest@lemmy.world 5 points 7 months ago (1 children)

What if he hadn't sneaked along with you, what, were you just going to leave him at home alone to fend for himself while you're gone?

[–] curiousaur@reddthat.com 1 points 7 months ago

We had a neighbor kid who was watching the house and caring for the 2 dogs and 2 other cats. Why would you make that assumption?

Took a kitten to SF years ago. Stinky, but fun.

snuck, I'd have gone with snuck
