see now as someone who’s been aware of limmy for years i absolutely cannot handle seeing him a) playing minecraft, b) saying minecraft words in his incredibly distinctive voice, c) wiring a complicated redstone contraption with a full understanding of how it works, and d) understanding that the minecart will break as soon as it hits lava which will set the villager free to run, something that i, as a person who’s played minecraft since 2012, DIDN’T realize. who let this man get a twitch. the bitch used a REDSTONE TORCH INVERTER
Can we talk about how cool this is? Cats are evolutionary predisposed to really like watching places from a vantage point. Domestic cats do this via windows, and wild cats do this by climbing trees or hiding in caves. (Hence why cats like boxes).
This cat took that just one step further, by using surveillance tech (something cats, again, are amazing at) to monitor many vantage points at once. This is not only a great example of technology creating winners (the cat) and losers (the mouse) but of how technology often creates unexpected outcomes.
Maybe humans are the smartest animals on the planet, but we’re generalists. We’ll never beat specilists, like cats, at what they do best.
love the trope where an authoritative side character pointedly pretends not to help the hero they’re not supposed to be helping by saying shit like “well I can’t just let you wander around up to the THIRD FLOOR where you could just FIND THE THING YOU NEED in the FIRST ROOM ON THE LEFT. And under no circumstances should you USE THE KEY FROM UNDER THE MAT. I wish I could help you, but I CAN’T. Now excuse me, I need to take this phone call for the next 37 minutes EXACTLY.”
“Sorry i cant let you borrow the keypad on my desk. oops i dropped my pen. Let me just get under my desk to pick it up”
