everyone i have figured it out, cats just have unchecked integer operations

graph of cat enjoyment of petting vs. duration 

enjoyment increases linear from 0 to +128 and then goes vertically downward to -128, continuing to rise at the same slope as before afterwards. 

biting happens at the drop to -128, as indicated by an angy cat, or when the enjoyment bar experiences an integer overflow

@jonny That makes perfect sense.

breeding a cat that works on unsigned integers

@jonny look start with booleans. cats always say no, but i'm unclear they understand what yes means.

If I ever make a programming language bools will be true only, in your honor

gaytabase

@jonny funny thing, but a number of people in the theorem prover community think we should stop using bools and replace them with proofs and contradictions

f.rift :fire_blue:

@dysfun @jonny makes sense; nothing in math is true or false, only consistent or inconsistent.

f.rift :fire_blue:

@dysfun @jonny (or underspecified for the determination of its consistency. or, uh, some worse things that can occur in special cases...)

I wonder, if this heppens less with double cats. ๐Ÿค”

@owl
Can happen anywhere on the positive domain I think

@jonny adding a check for overflows would affect purrrrformance.

something something DIGITal division

@efi @jonny I'm quite sure those are love bites

DELETED

@efi so no overflow you know
it's kind of like spikes of neurons
too much pleasure stored = 1 bite

@iacore no, you're just wrong and misunderstanding the science of catgirls

DELETED

@efi awawawawa (sensei please teach me catgirl science)

Efi (nap pet) ๐ŸฆŠ๐Ÿ’ค

@iacore not in a good brain space today, but some other time, sure

Integer underflow CVE ( catgirl vulnerability and disclosure )

@jonny
Thanks Doc. Now I finally understand what the hell is going on.

@jonny

Nuclear Gandhi wasn't an integer underflow bug, Nuclear Gandhi was a cat.

@jonny my OCD is kicking hard: the chart should only go to +127, not +128.

@ralph_himself
Just interpret those as axis limits but the lines dont quite get all the way to the top and bottom

Thinks Deer Are Cool

@jonny ...okay but in my experience this is close to literally true, they bite when they start getting sensory/emotional overload
