Is the cat supposed to shoot lasers? Feels like it should but does not for me. Hitting the mouse and space, as well as other keys, doesn't do anything.
My, where history's path takes us. I'm not really sure how to describe this feeling; a clever hacker put a boggled cat and pickles on a star field and it's clearly missing lasers.
Like, I get there's a source GIF that inspired it, and lazoring pickles with a cat has that sort of pseudo randomness like 'purple monkey dishwasher'. But I still think it's strange that it stands out as an omission over, say, talking wrenches. (I think the awestruck cat is fine just how it is; just flummoxed over how legitimate your quip was.)
I think you're on to something here. I hadn't seen the cat/laser/cucumber gif prior to reading this thread (after visiting the demo), and after I noticed the cat following my mouse I tried clicking pickles with the expectation that they would be attacked by laser vision.
It's odd that I can say straight-faced "of course you would expect lasers to shoot from that cat's eyes and destroy the pickle," but that I can't describe why that assumption is so obvious.
I was going to leave a comment like "why isn't it shooting lasers at the pickles", but then I did a search in the page and found this comment thread. So... yeah. Our brains are all warped in the same way.
