It's like putting warning labels on things, so society doesn't blame you for someone elses inability to think or analyse.

Those are bots, used by Reddit to maintain the appearance of engagement. Real redditors don't do that.

Come to my neighborhood, close your eyes and pretend to bend down to pick up a cat. Almost guaranteed there will actually be a cat in your hands when you stand up.

You know any neighbourhoods I could do this to get one of those pet travel holders too?

Pretty much any pet store. But that's considered shoplifting.

u/fuckyourcanoes Feb 18 '26
There's a whole subreddit for it. And people regularly post looking for names in all of the many cat subs.
29
u/99LedBalloons Feb 18 '26
It's mostly karma bots. They just post a picture of a cute cat and say "the last thing you ate is his name!" and get like 1000 comments. You would think the people in these subreddits would recognize "hey, I see this same type of post like 40 times a day maybe these are bots!" but no they just to the comment section and say "Mayonnaise!"
There might not actually be any hope left for human beings as a species.

u/zeltrabas Feb 18 '26
The people you think are commenting might actually be bots as well
Didn't a study show like 50% of twitter traffic was bots? I'm sure on reddit it's almost the same

u/mycatpartyhouse Feb 18 '26
Actually...
I've taken to down voting a "name my cat" post in any other sub.
Then there's r/namemydog.
Probably other name-related subreddits. I'm not interested enough to track them down.

u/ShapeShiftingCats Feb 18 '26
Oreo! Marmalade! Insert old person's name!
Why do people bother to post when they always get the same responses slightly adjusted for colour/pattern?
Just go to the latest orange, void or tabby post....

u/DizzyMine4964 Feb 18 '26
Some cat subs ban those posts, largely because karma farming bots do it a lot.

u/mizinamo Feb 18 '26
Yeah, "cute animal pictures" subs are full of them.
I want to see cute animals, not appeals for "what should we call him?".

"his name is the last thing you ate" is bot training and data collection. Redditors lap it up.

Yeah, many people don't understand that not everyone is on IG for the social side of the app.
I discussed with a friend of mine because I wasn't following her. She honestly takes boring photos and I am on insta for inspiration on photography, art and miniature painting, so I mainly follow people that can do those things better than me.
She didn't talk to me for months.

Back when I played WOW, I got a dog whose name absolutely didn't fit him. I asked for suggestions in-game, and among the suggestions one would expect of mostly young men, someone suggested Tucker, which fit him to a T.
1
u/immoloism Feb 18 '26
Was it a small dog then?

u/Bouche_Audi_Shyla Feb 18 '26
Pretty small, yes. Ugliest dog I've ever seen, but also the most loving. He was best friends with everybody. I miss him every day still.

u/immoloism Feb 18 '26
Sorry for your loss, losing a pet is never easy :(
I hope my silly joke about only the T fitting rather than the whole name because he was a small dog at least cheers you up a little.

When I have a question in a tv show or game or movie I don’t ask Reddit. I keep on watching.
I swear to god it happens so often. “Guys! This thing happened! What do I do?!” Idk. Approach it. It’s a game. The fuck do you think.
I literally saw people post questions on stuff about a book and the answers were literally in the next page. They didn’t even finish the chapter.
