Well, he is Turkish. It stands to reason he has a cat.

There’s too many pictures of this guy, but I’ll allow this. Cute kitty.

[-] FuglyDuck@lemmy.world 89 points 2 years ago

I didn’t care or know who he was …

But now? I’m cheering.

I’ll cheer for anyone who posts their cat photos.

[-] pancakes@sh.itjust.works 12 points 2 years ago

He's the guy from the anime gun memes

I realize this. My not-caring has to do more with … Olympics. Broadly speaking, i find sports in general to be very much boring.

Now if they brought robotics into the fold I’d be all in.

But I’ll cheer a bit for this guy cuz he dropped a cat photo. Maybe we’ll get more.

(for example the FIRST league, or maybe battle bots style fights,)

Even the cat looks like he could olympically casually shoot at you.

Unimpressed Cat says "why isn't your medal gold, Yusuf?" -_-

Gun Chad.

Gun Dad

[-] A_Union_of_Kobolds@lemmy.world 13 points 2 years ago

Big dad vibes

It's hard to root for Turkey but this guy...

[-] Shellbeach@lemmy.world 16 points 2 years ago

Did you mean hard to root for Erdoğan? Super easy to root for Turkey, lovely country, lovely people

[-] A_Union_of_Kobolds@lemmy.world 9 points 2 years ago

That's fair.

[-] original_reader@lemm.ee 5 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

~~Turkey~~ Türkiye

That's a bit nitpicky, of course.

[-] A_Union_of_Kobolds@lemmy.world 6 points 2 years ago

I keep forgetting that, my bad

[-] PopcornPrincess@lemmy.world 4 points 2 years ago

Gun Daddy*

[-] ArbitraryValue@sh.itjust.works 19 points 2 years ago

But is the cat a crack shot too?

[-] jaybone@lemmy.world 17 points 2 years ago

Cat is adorable.

[-] PrincessLeiasCat@sh.itjust.works 16 points 2 years ago

It’s like he’s taking a picture with himself as a cat.

They look alike in some odd way.

[-] MonkderVierte@lemmy.ml 8 points 2 years ago

Same as with partners, loved pets often look alike.

[-] mexicancartel@lemmy.dbzer0.com 15 points 2 years ago

Where can I find thw original video of him shooting in olympics? All I see is stupis news channels making slideshow of image

[-] HootinNHollerin@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago

There’s an Olympics channel on YouTube that I watched some

[-] mexicancartel@lemmy.dbzer0.com 3 points 2 years ago

Name?

[-] sour@feddit.org 0 points 2 years ago

Really? Have you tried "Olympics"?

[-] dumbass@leminal.space 10 points 2 years ago

So he's our new king now ay?

[-] jonne@infosec.pub 5 points 2 years ago

For just a few weeks until he follows the Turkish guy going viral path that Salt Bae took.

[-] dumbass@leminal.space 3 points 2 years ago

Yeah, but we will have 4 new kings by then

[-] Clbull@lemmy.world 8 points 2 years ago

He looks like Eugene Levy, that guy who plays the dad in every teen comedy film.

[-] thesporkeffect@lemmy.world 7 points 2 years ago

This guy is the best Turkish PR in a generation

[-] Boozilla@lemmy.world 7 points 2 years ago

This guy is going to end up having a beer with Hide the Pain Harold.

[-] feedum_sneedson@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago

I like cats; I consider myself a cat fan.
