Is no one gonna mention that this guys Christmas tree is already up and it’s not even Halloween yet?

[–] HootinNHollerin@lemmy.dbzer0.com 36 points 5 months ago

The mark of a psychopath for sure

This pic is super old and probably was posted around Xmas time originally.

[–] dependencyinjection@discuss.tchncs.de 19 points 5 months ago (2 children)

It’s already Christmas in Australia.

That’s the 12 days: Dec 25 - Jan 6.

Jan 6 is All King’s Day, when the 3 Kings visited Jesus…aka Epiphany…aka the first day of Mardi Gras season.

I’m not religious, I’m just from a culture where Mardi Gras is very important. And imo, we should all celebrate a day for no other reason than to eat, drink, and be merry :)

Edit: Holy shit, just realized I’m replying to the wrong comment lol

Jan 6 being All Kings Day is oddly appropriate now.

[–] joel_feila@lemmy.world 1 points 5 months ago

That's not really a thing in the usa outside of catholics. Alao never heard ot called that even in Catholic school, visitation of the magi, that's what we called it.

Christmas STARTS on 25/12/yy and ends on 6/1/yy. As it is 25/10/25 we are stil two months away from the start of Christmas.

There’s a song called the 12 DAYS of Christmas. I will never understand those who think it’s a 3 month season.

Fixed with ISO 8601:

Christmas STARTS on yyyy-12-25 and ends on yyyy-01-06. As it is 2025-10-25 we are stil two months away from the start of Christmas.

I've created a helpful reference for this line of thinking:

12 days of Christmas | 12 weeks of Christmas
"They're the same picture"

You’re welcome to your opinion but that doesn’t mean you’re right.

[–] MotoAsh@piefed.social 2 points 5 months ago (1 children)

Tough crowd here.

I was joking.

[–] wieson@feddit.org 0 points 5 months ago

Not everyone celebrates Halloween

TIL. Not that I'd ever thought of crossing their paths, but my kitties thank you just in case.

[–] Maeve@kbin.earth 6 points 5 months ago

Blessings to your babies 😍

Do not feed citrus to cats, do not feed chocolate to dogs and do not feed avocado to parrots.

Researching safe and unsafe foods should be a basic prerequisite to owning a pet.

[–] 000@lemmy.dbzer0.com 5 points 5 months ago (1 children)

Funny that you'll have to stop dogs from getting to chocolate, while cat out here just knows it shouldn't eat citrus

[–] rockerface@lemmy.cafe 2 points 5 months ago

Another proof that cats were never fully domesticated and still retain some of their primal instincts? I mean, besides them murdering all local wildlife if let outside.

[–] pjwestin@lemmy.world 5 points 5 months ago* (last edited 5 months ago)

Chocolate is also very poisonous for cats, but unlike dogs, they're usually smart enough not to eat it. I think lilies are the only things that they occasionally chew on that is poisonous to them (and they are extremely poisonous to them).

Do not feed pineapple pizza to an Italian.

[–] FunctionallyLiterate@lemmy.ca 4 points 5 months ago

True, but we both know what should be frequently isn't. In my defense, I'd never try to give my cats something that wasn't labeled specifically for them, anyway - although I'll acknowledge that's still no guarantee.

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

I see someone’s getting poop in their shoes for Christmas

[–] LadyButterfly@reddthat.com 7 points 5 months ago (1 children)

They hate citrus! Citrus spray is how I stop them scratching furniture.

[–] webpack@ani.social 1 points 5 months ago

according to another comment on this post apparently touching citrus can cause skin irritation for cats....

[–] iAvicenna@lemmy.world 4 points 5 months ago

it's not a force field, it is a tangerine field

[–] __nobodynowhere@sh.itjust.works 3 points 5 months ago

citrus tree

cats hate the smell of oranges and lemons
