My aunt has a ragdoll. She constantly brings her comb to people and stands with her chin raised and eyes closed, ready for them to comb her. Gets very annoyed if they don't.

I initially read this as a toy ragdoll, and your aunt bringing the toy doll and a comb and silently demanding people to comb the hair on the doll.

Apparently, this is how one is supposed to read it, for anyone else wondering: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ragdoll

[–] toynbee@lemmy.world 3 points 10 months ago (1 children)

I remember when Unreal Tournament introduced ragdoll physics.

[–] Evil_Shrubbery@lemm.ee 2 points 10 months ago (1 children)

UT never did such a thing.
(I know you mean 2004 - what I'm hinting at is that the og one didn't and because of me knowing mostly that one my back hurts a bit more. Actually I remember Trespasser ~~with boob-hearth~~ ragdolling, wild)

[–] toynbee@lemmy.world 2 points 10 months ago* (last edited 10 months ago) (1 children)

I definitely remember the boob health meter, but it had ragdolling?

The main thing I remember about that game was it being the first one I played that allowed me to soft lock my progress.

edit: and being impressed at the lady's strength, throwing around boxes and barrels with one hand.

[–] Evil_Shrubbery@lemm.ee 2 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Well fuck me, I never ever questioned the strength of her fully extended arm just casually throwing boxes around, not for a single moment.

The ragdolls, I remember corpses on slopes respecting proper boundaries.

It seems you could glitch it out too: youtube/i6cWEbkBeZQ.

[–] toynbee@lemmy.world 1 points 10 months ago

The game had a pretty interesting history, too. In case you're not familiar with the details, you might enjoy this or a similar video: https://youtu.be/bp7PqRMI1HA

I read it as the aunt carrying the comb and asking for a brush

[–] jaybone@lemmy.world 3 points 10 months ago

I read it as an ant with a comb and three giraffes in a hot tub.

[–] Evil_Shrubbery@lemm.ee 2 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Obviously the toy ragdoll brings the brush to guests & demands brushies.

[–] Samvega@lemmy.blahaj.zone 2 points 10 months ago

Now THIS is the horror film I want to see advertised on every bus in a nine-mile radius.

[–] MyNameIsRichard@lemmy.ml 14 points 10 months ago

Well that's just adorable.

[–] ByteJunk@lemmy.world 47 points 10 months ago (2 children)

I'm no expert, but I'm pretty confident it needs a new drive belt.

[–] lustyargonian@lemm.ee 16 points 10 months ago

Carpurrettor is malfunctioning I think.

[–] ozoned@lemmy.world 7 points 10 months ago

Timing belt needs a good tightening is all.

U know ya got em good when they start licking their paws

[–] FuglyDuck@lemmy.world 19 points 10 months ago

Heheh… they sound like a raccoon….

Adorable!

[–] adhocfungus@midwest.social 17 points 10 months ago

For once I am actually happy I turned the sound on.

Top 3 cutest cats of the year

[–] Evil_Shrubbery@lemm.ee 2 points 10 months ago

Agreed.
(All cats are top 3 cutest cats of the year tho, that's just how cat math works, but it's no less true)

[–] blibla@slrpnk.net 11 points 10 months ago

sounds more like a star wars alien animal

[–] Jikiya@lemmy.world 10 points 10 months ago

And I thought my cat's purr was loud. Is quiet by comparison.

[–] troyunrau@lemmy.ca 10 points 10 months ago

My cat enjoyed this video once I turned the sound on..

[–] Mango@lemmy.world 8 points 10 months ago

I wanna feel that good.

[–] ohwhatfollyisman@lemmy.world 7 points 10 months ago

thos video breaks maths. parallel strokes leading to a purr-pendicular outcome?

[–] jenny_ball@lemmy.world 6 points 10 months ago (2 children)

why do they lick when you do this?

[–] nailbar@sopuli.xyz 15 points 10 months ago (2 children)

My guess is licking is just tightly wired to the feeling of getting brushed, as they use their tongue to brush themselves.

[–] thesporkeffect@lemmy.world 5 points 10 months ago

Like how dogs kick their leg when you scratch behind their ears

[–] jenny_ball@lemmy.world 4 points 10 months ago

ah yes makes sense. i had cats that did this too

Sounds like a 2000's cell phone ringer.

[–] Evil_Shrubbery@lemm.ee 1 points 10 months ago

Hmmm ... actually, if I would isolate (with permission) a single purr that would work nicely for notifications.

[–] Evil_Shrubbery@lemm.ee 4 points 10 months ago

Omg I love it when they have such distinguished purrs!!
