Well, he is Turkish. It stands to reason he has a cat.

There’s too many pictures of this guy, but I’ll allow this. Cute kitty.

[–] FuglyDuck@lemmy.world 89 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I didn’t care or know who he was …

But now? I’m cheering.

I’ll cheer for anyone who posts their cat photos.

He's the guy from the anime gun memes

I realize this. My not-caring has to do more with … Olympics. Broadly speaking, i find sports in general to be very much boring.

Now if they brought robotics into the fold I’d be all in.

But I’ll cheer a bit for this guy cuz he dropped a cat photo. Maybe we’ll get more.

(for example the FIRST league, or maybe battle bots style fights,)

Even the cat looks like he could olympically casually shoot at you.

Unimpressed Cat says "why isn't your medal gold, Yusuf?" -_-

Gun Chad.

Gun Dad

[–] A_Union_of_Kobolds@lemmy.world 13 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Big dad vibes

It's hard to root for Turkey but this guy...

[–] Shellbeach@lemmy.world 16 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Did you mean hard to root for Erdoğan? Super easy to root for Turkey, lovely country, lovely people

[–] A_Union_of_Kobolds@lemmy.world 9 points 1 year ago

That's fair.

[–] original_reader@lemm.ee 5 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (1 children)

~~Turkey~~ Türkiye

That's a bit nitpicky, of course.

[–] A_Union_of_Kobolds@lemmy.world 6 points 1 year ago

I keep forgetting that, my bad

[–] PopcornPrincess@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago

Gun Daddy*

[–] ArbitraryValue@sh.itjust.works 19 points 1 year ago

But is the cat a crack shot too?

[–] jaybone@lemmy.world 17 points 1 year ago

Cat is adorable.

[–] PrincessLeiasCat@sh.itjust.works 16 points 1 year ago (1 children)

It’s like he’s taking a picture with himself as a cat.

They look alike in some odd way.

[–] MonkderVierte@lemmy.ml 8 points 1 year ago

Same as with partners, loved pets often look alike.

[–] mexicancartel@lemmy.dbzer0.com 15 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Where can I find thw original video of him shooting in olympics? All I see is stupis news channels making slideshow of image

[–] HootinNHollerin@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

There’s an Olympics channel on YouTube that I watched some

[–] mexicancartel@lemmy.dbzer0.com 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Name?

[–] sour@feddit.org 0 points 1 year ago

Really? Have you tried "Olympics"?

[–] dumbass@leminal.space 10 points 1 year ago (1 children)

So he's our new king now ay?

[–] jonne 5 points 1 year ago (1 children)

For just a few weeks until he follows the Turkish guy going viral path that Salt Bae took.

[–] dumbass@leminal.space 3 points 1 year ago

Yeah, but we will have 4 new kings by then

[–] Clbull@lemmy.world 8 points 1 year ago

He looks like Eugene Levy, that guy who plays the dad in every teen comedy film.

[–] Boozilla@lemmy.world 7 points 1 year ago

This guy is going to end up having a beer with Hide the Pain Harold.

[–] thesporkeffect@lemmy.world 7 points 1 year ago

This guy is the best Turkish PR in a generation

[–] feedum_sneedson@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

I like cats; I consider myself a cat fan.
