I dunno, I just got some and just… got more hahaha. Even my shittiest flashlights are way brighter than any smartphone’s LEDs.

I mainly keep them everywhere so I can quickly take important cat pictures. Shining the brighter ones at the ceiling makes for perfect lighting for indoor cat pics. I don’t like using flash on animals, and my I keep my room pretty dim. But gosh dangit cats are so cute.

haha I guess their fur requires a special kind of lighting that I never thought about. I assumed funny internet cat pics were more moments of spontaneity than diligently prepared shooting sets hehe

I have about 6k photos on my phone and 80% of them are my cats being silly or adorable.

you have a serious problem and I love it

[–] Rai@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 points 4 months ago (1 children)

Thank you. It’s worse than you think. I’ve recently uploaded 20,000 photos to my laptop… which now has about 30k photos on it. A majority of those are of my cats. The quantity exploded when we got baby kittens.

10,000 years from now, once they dig out the digital backups and find your strangely well-preserved collection. They will immediately assume from the sheer proportion of photos of yourself vs your cats, that cats were the dominant life form who kept humans around as pets

They would be very correct.
