Occasionally you can look back, but the idea is that this way they will be able to look at your face without painful eye contact. cats are autistic - they don't look at you unless you're looking somewhere else. most people stare at cats when they are engaging with them, and totally ignore them otherwise. ┌─────────┐ ┌───────────┐ │ similar │ chronological │ different │ ╘═════════╧╧═══════════════════════════════════════════════────────────────────────────┘ === SIMILARITY RANKED === --- #1 fediverse/1209 --- ═══════════════════════════════════════════════──────────────────────────────────── if your witch hat has a brim that looks like a circle then you're wearing it backwards. witch hats should fold flat.

Love for animals and kindness of the spirit are impossible to fake, they always know if you're lying. Not the animals, they can be dumb sometimes, but the other thing. And now for the downsides. If you find a cursed artifact, please don't throw it in the river. It might ask you to, but please don't. Much better to destroy it by melting it down (if it's metal, which is common as metal lasts long enough to become forgotten) or convince it that it's a recently deceased person being buried (helps if you know the creator). If none of that applies to you, don't worry. Eat something healthy, drink a decent amount of water, and maybe exercise a bit. Oh, and it can't hurt to ask. ┌─────────┐ ┌───────────┐ │ similar │ chronological │ different │ ╘═════════╧╧══════════════════════════════════════════════─────────────────────────────┘ --- #4 fediverse/3752 --- ════════════════════════════════════════════════════════─────────────────────────── @user-1218 It's a person with a thumbs up who has a fountain of tears streaming down their cheeks.
