Seal: "You made a statement in public for all to hear. Are you unable to defend the statements you make? Or simply unwilling to have a reasoned discussion?"

Cat: I said I was sorry please can we let it alone

Anyone else abandon marine biology dreams in youth because extrapolating from what everyone wanted to be at the time, the future was going to be all flying cars and marine biologists?

[–] Bubs12@lemm.ee 31 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Personally, I still aspire to become a flying car.

That seal is a classic troll.

The kind that made people laugh instead of nerd rage.

I thought they were mythical.

I pictured a seal opening a beer and in a deep voice says, “Damn. Nice place cat. Mind if I stretch out on your couch!?”

[–] Bishma@discuss.tchncs.de 15 points 1 year ago

Heh. I pictured the seal saying

say hi to your mother for me, okay?

DAE read this as Seal the musician?

🎵 There used to be marine biology in your hooome 🎶

[–] Marin_Rider@aussie.zone 3 points 1 year ago

it wasn't even the first take, the headline had me wondering whether Seal was a marine biologist

[–] Viking_Hippie@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

Absolutely 😁

I was expecting the cat to be serenaded.
