You don't know know the whole story, and you don't know Torties. Humans are not consulted in these matters. I've lived with five Torties, and never paid for, or even asked for, a single one. There's a third Tortie in their future, trust me.
Wait, you... didn't know this wasn't Reddit, despite all the different instance domains in every person's comment? Do you use some kind of fusion Reddit+Lemmy app or something? This is really interesting to me, how that was even possible to happen.
I use Relay for Reddit and Summit for the fediverse. I especially picked Summit because it is very similar in look, feel, use and features as Relay, which I already really enjoyed using.
Huh, ironically, I left Summit partly because I found its search system to be too obtuse and it had some pretty bad account-switching problems as well, even though it sure has a lot of capabilities. Theming the apps helps, though ultimately it boils down to reading the domain names of the instances (and usernames) since I'm always curious about the sources of content. I even set Thunder for Lemmy (which also seems to have a very robust draft system in the event of app crashes) to show "@" in front of usernames and "!" in front of communities to drill it home since that formatting is different from Reddit, so I see it all over the place.
If FOSS matters to you, consider Slide for Reddit! Otherwise, Relay looks decent... I'm surprised it was able to get past that API restriction drama that Reddit's leadership imposed...
There are some really weird emoji though, e.g. what's are these ones for 🫨🕳️🧱📛💠 I cannot work out what emotion or concept these particular symbols are supposed to indicate.
The only ones I ever really find useful are the hand gestures the facial expressions (although God knows what that first one is supposed to be), and the national flags.
There's also some Japanese character ones which I assume might be useful if I knew what they said.
The first one there is a shaking emoji. Perhaps it could be used in response to an earthshaking news or something. I'm sure you could run searches of all of these and get the exact text descriptions from the official, global emoji standard.
"has ears, tail, fur. Some of the latter is black but not all of it" seems to be enough in this case.
I, a tortie enjoyer but not generally very visually observant, spotted the difference in facial markings within a literal second and would have done it within 10 even if I DIDN'T know there was differences to look for lol
Maybe they were identical so they didn't realise there was another cat in the house until much later after a freak accident with them walking into the same room with a mirror on the floor.
I have two cats from the same litter a male and a female, and my next door neighbour has a cat that looks exactly like them. Their friends, and I'm not entirely convinced that the more stupid of the two hasn't realised that the neighbours cat isn't his sister. He's deadly afraid of my car keys, so I wouldn't put anything past him.
I look at my desktop so little I just treat it as a folder for things that need be temporarily stored. The fact it appears on the screen behind whatever I have open is a non-issue.
Pretty sure dude just went along with it
But he's told his buddies and they think shes nuts now. I dont blame them, i mean who thinks they can fool their husband isn't thinking two Americans is one? There are four lights, hello.
Nah, I have met quite a few people that care so little about the goings on in their house they would not infact notice there were 2 torties in their house unless both cats were in the same side of the room.
I had what I thought was one stray that lived near my house. Turns out there was 2 of them that looked nearly identical I found this out when both of them were there
I personally would disagree, since one of them has a giant orange splotch on their face and the other doesn't, but i also do like cats and am probably autistic ¯\(ツ)/¯

It’s true, but these days Macs will let you collapse your desktop items in to a single icon by file type.
