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 10 months 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 10 months 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 10 months ago

Big dad vibes

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

[-] Shellbeach@lemmy.world 16 points 10 months 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 10 months ago

That's fair.

[-] original_reader@lemm.ee 5 points 10 months ago* (last edited 10 months ago)

~~Turkey~~ Türkiye

That's a bit nitpicky, of course.

[-] A_Union_of_Kobolds@lemmy.world 6 points 10 months ago

I keep forgetting that, my bad

[-] PopcornPrincess@lemmy.world 4 points 10 months ago

Gun Daddy*

[-] ArbitraryValue@sh.itjust.works 19 points 10 months ago

But is the cat a crack shot too?

[-] jaybone@lemmy.world 17 points 10 months ago

Cat is adorable.

[-] PrincessLeiasCat@sh.itjust.works 16 points 10 months 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 10 months ago

Same as with partners, loved pets often look alike.

[-] mexicancartel@lemmy.dbzer0.com 15 points 10 months 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 10 months ago

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

[-] mexicancartel@lemmy.dbzer0.com 3 points 10 months ago

Name?

[-] sour@feddit.org 0 points 10 months ago

Really? Have you tried "Olympics"?

[-] dumbass@leminal.space 10 points 10 months ago

So he's our new king now ay?

[-] jonne@infosec.pub 5 points 10 months ago

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

[-] dumbass@leminal.space 3 points 10 months ago

Yeah, but we will have 4 new kings by then

[-] Clbull@lemmy.world 8 points 10 months ago

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

[-] thesporkeffect@lemmy.world 7 points 10 months ago

This guy is the best Turkish PR in a generation

[-] Boozilla@lemmy.world 7 points 10 months ago

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

[-] feedum_sneedson@lemmy.world 2 points 10 months ago

I like cats; I consider myself a cat fan.
