Welcome to /c/tumblr, a place for all your tumblr screenshots and news.

Our Rules:

  1. Keep it civil. We're all people here. Be respectful to one another.

  2. No sexism, racism, homophobia, transphobia or any other flavor of bigotry. I should not need to explain this one.

  3. Must be tumblr related. This one is kind of a given.

  4. Try not to repost anything posted within the past month. Beyond that, go for it. Not everyone is on every site all the time.

  5. No unnecessary negativity. Just because you don't like a thing doesn't mean that you need to spend the entire comment section complaining about said thing. Just downvote and move on.

Yeah -- I am not a good person.

My first thought was "use a sniper rifle to shoot the cat. Then take the key off its cold, dead corpse"

[–] roofuskit@lemmy.world 26 points 11 months ago (1 children)

A can of tuna was all you needed you monster.

[–] fsxylo@sh.itjust.works 13 points 11 months ago

But now i get to keep the tuna, and I get an extra meal.

I'd imagine part of the deal is "don't harm my cat".

[–] GabrielBell12fi@lemmy.world 5 points 11 months ago (2 children)

(grin) If the story doesn't mention it then I assume it's not a part of the deal.

At best you're going to be stuck with someone that's pissed you killed her cat. Even if she sticks to the deal she's going to make your life miserable. And if she is the cat ...

If you can't charm her: tranquilizer dart gun. Then a romantic getaway at your hidden base that's also an active volcano. Apologize for your crude methods, but justify them. Point out how horrible those other men were, in fact how horrible humanity is as a whole. "We're not so different, you and I", etc.

Wine and dine her while you explain your plan for world domination. You want the hot shapeshifter on your side -- don't screw it up.

I think enough people are dumb enough to not think that one through and so the challenge as posed is a bad idea on her part

[–] jandar_fett@lemmy.world 1 points 11 months ago

This is the best resolution to the story so far.

[–] ArcaneSlime@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 points 11 months ago (1 children)

I mean, if she is the cat, and you kill the cat and take the key in order to marry the woman, then you will be marrying the corpse of the woman you just killed. Seems like it might be a bit of a plot point that you don't kill the woman (or do, but that's a very different film.)

[–] GabrielBell12fi@lemmy.world 3 points 11 months ago (1 children)

At the point you are taking the key, you don't know the woman is the cat.

You'll note I didn't say it was a good plan.

[–] ArcaneSlime@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 points 11 months ago

Ah well fair, it is a plan.

[–] LemmyKnowsBest@lemmy.world 11 points 11 months ago (3 children)

Which maybe says a lot about you because the point of the story is something that a lot of people have known for centuries: Men who know how to treat a cat and earn its affection, are more likely to have success with women, if they apply the same delicate empathetic approach.

So, how are you doing in the woman-romance area?

[–] GabrielBell12fi@lemmy.world 10 points 11 months ago (2 children)

I've been with the same woman for twenty five years and we are very happy together.

Thank you for asking.

Ran off to the happy happy farm

[–] GabrielBell12fi@lemmy.world 3 points 11 months ago

That's an incredibly personal question, don't you think?

[–] ArcaneSlime@lemmy.dbzer0.com 8 points 11 months ago

Pfft bullshit, I slow blink and say pspspspspsps at women all the time and they usually just say "the fuck is wrong with you?"

[–] Kase@lemmy.world 6 points 11 months ago (1 children)

If it's evil, but it works... well ig it's still evil ¯⁠\⁠_⁠(⁠ツ⁠)⁠_⁠/⁠¯

[–] roofuskit@lemmy.world 3 points 11 months ago* (last edited 11 months ago) (1 children)

Yes, what is right and what is easy are rarely the same.

[–] GabrielBell12fi@lemmy.world 3 points 11 months ago

Albus Dumbledore enters the chat

[–] Tavarin@lemmy.ca 6 points 11 months ago

Yeah, what a way to get a woman to want to marry you, kill her pet (/her).

[–] MilitantAtheist@lemmy.world 2 points 11 months ago

That works really well with the story too.
