If you check out SpaceX’s twitter account for October 11th you’ll realize that Elon Musk really enjoyed this particular post.

Look at it backwards and it looks like a hamster hording food . I know because I have a pet hamster. Hamsters don’t eat there food directly out of the food dish , they stuff it in there cheek pouches (some times I’m amazed how munch they can stuff in there) and burry it , when they get hungry tey dig it up and eat it . In fact hamster is german for horder.

Wait doesn’t “Concatenate” just mean sticking to pieces of text together: “this”+”that” = “thisthat”. At least that is what all my programming manuals say…?

Saw the picture before the title, I got a cat too, though I see the eyes peeking over the edge too. Maybe not Yoda though. Could be a very large telling though.

Odd, I saw Yoda peeking around the sun Kilroy-style.

Once you have one image in your brain, it can be hard to see anything else.

Reminds me of T.S. Elliot

The yellow fog that rubs its back upon the window-panes
The yellow smoke that rubs its muzzle on the window-panes
Licked its tongue into the corners of the evening
Lingered upon the pools that stand in drains,
Let fall upon its back the soot that falls from chimneys,
Slipped by the terrace, made a sudden leap, 20
And seeing that it was a soft October night
Curled once about the house, and fell asleep.

CSB time — the SOL cat reminds me of one of mine, except she isn’t 80,000 kilometers long. She’s actually quite small as far as cats go.
/Just read your article “Carried on a Litter” and I have to say it was put together like a beautifully written joke.

Awe. What a purr-fect pareidolia! Classic.

(Yeah I know but someone was bound to use that pun so I figured I’d get in first!)

That’s one hot kitten! Or you could say, a cat on a hot hydrogen and helium plasma* roof!

(Ditto. )

* With tiny traces of plasma tin in it – only, I dunno afew Earth mass or so?
