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.

[–] [email protected] 90 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I didn’t care or know who he was …

But now? I’m cheering.

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

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 Dad

Big dad vibes

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

[–] [email protected] 16 points 1 year ago (1 children)

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

[–] [email protected] 9 points 1 year ago

That's fair.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (1 children)

~~Turkey~~ Türkiye

That's a bit nitpicky, of course.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 year ago

I keep forgetting that, my bad

But is the cat a crack shot too?

[–] [email protected] 17 points 1 year ago

Cat is adorable.

[–] [email protected] 16 points 1 year ago (1 children)

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

They look alike in some odd way.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 1 year ago

Same as with partners, loved pets often look alike.

[–] [email protected] 15 points 1 year ago (1 children)

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

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

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

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Name?

[–] [email protected] 0 points 1 year ago

Really? Have you tried "Olympics"?

[–] [email protected] 10 points 1 year ago (1 children)

So he's our new king now ay?

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 year ago (1 children)

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

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago

Yeah, but we will have 4 new kings by then

[–] [email protected] 8 points 1 year ago

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

[–] [email protected] 7 points 1 year ago

This guy is the best Turkish PR in a generation

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 year ago

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

I like cats; I consider myself a cat fan.
