Yep, I think I counted at one point and half of the photos on my phone are pets

[–] Killer57@lemmy.ca 28 points 3 days ago

Counter argument, I have a dog with cat firmware

[–] slazer2au@lemmy.world 47 points 3 days ago (2 children)

Can confirm.

[–] Shellbeach@lemmy.world 33 points 3 days ago* (last edited 3 days ago) (2 children)

Can too.

[–] toynbee@lemmy.world 26 points 3 days ago

You stole my cat.

We are Siamese if you please

[–] static09@lemmy.world 25 points 3 days ago

Can also confirm. I'm just the opposable thumbs holder for my cat's selfies.

[–] v4ld1z@lemmy.zip 6 points 3 days ago

It bothers me more than it should, that the graph does not accurately portray the magnitude of 28TB vs 540GB

[–] Geodad@lemmy.world 17 points 3 days ago (1 children)

Checks out with my long cat

Danger noodle! My dad had a corn snake as a classroom pet when he taught 6th grade in the '90s.

[–] BassTurd@lemmy.world 26 points 3 days ago (2 children)

Dogs too!

[–] pezhore@infosec.pub 23 points 3 days ago* (last edited 3 days ago) (1 children)

Yup!

[–] klemptor@startrek.website 2 points 3 days ago

Beautiful pups!

[–] Alcoholicorn@mander.xyz 13 points 3 days ago

I currently own no cats. But I still am running out of space due to random cats.

[–] pyre@lemmy.world 2 points 2 days ago

this graph is not to scale

[–] ramenshaman@lemmy.world 11 points 3 days ago

My cats are the main reason I'm building a NAS

[–] aeternum@lemmy.blahaj.zone 4 points 3 days ago

28TB? those are rookie numbers.

[–] camelbeard@lemmy.world 3 points 3 days ago

Just wait until you get kids...

[–] RebekahWSD@lemmy.world 5 points 3 days ago

I gained 3 gb on my phone recently by transferring all them to my desktop and I was unsurprisingly how many photos of the kitties I had

[–] Bamboodpanda@lemmy.world 2 points 3 days ago

I made this comment to my wife recently. I have a total of 2600 photos on my Google account going back 18 years. 1/2 of those are of my cats. I've only had cats for 4 years.

[–] Korhaka@sopuli.xyz 2 points 3 days ago

My phone has about 32MB of internal storage plus a 64GB SD card. Only taken about 225 pictures on it so far over a few years now.

[–] Vinny_93@lemmy.world 2 points 3 days ago

I'm married with 3 cats, got 512 GB storage of which 50 is in use

[–] moseschrute@lemmy.zip 1 points 2 days ago

What if I’m in a relationship and also have a cat

[–] mechoman444@lemmy.world 1 points 2 days ago

Uhhhh... This is unfortunate true.

[–] lowered_lifted@lemmy.blahaj.zone 2 points 3 days ago
