[–]GeneralBS 40 points41 points ago

I think this cat has more pics and vids on the internet than the porn industry does.

[–]Red_Dog1880 4 points5 points ago

I sincerely hope rules 34 and 35 do not apply.

But yeah, Maru is a boss.

[–]tgalla12 3 points4 points ago

Maru, There's a storm coming.

[–]reallifesexdoll 49 points50 points ago

maru came from legend, he is basically a god

[–]n3o7 3 points4 points ago

sorry ma'am, I'm pretty sure god doesn't dress like that

[–]poompt 4 points5 points ago

Don't pretend to know God. Your puny mortal consciousness couldn't begin to comprehend even a fraction of His magnificence.

*I have seen The Avengers I just didn't notice your reference at first. Although, seriously, it's a movie.

[–]bolago 5 points6 points ago

[–]n3o7 11 points12 points ago

I guess you didn't watch 'the Avengers', the dialoge was Black Widow said to Steve Rogers 'these guys (Thor and Loki) came from legend, they are basically gods', and captain America answered 'sorry ma'am, I know only one God, and I'm pretty sure He doesn't dress like that'

edit: rude comment

[–]the_mad_felcher 1 point2 points ago

hang out outside and watch some movies

Lol wut?

[–]poompt 1 point2 points ago

I'm sorry you're upset.

[–]n3o7 4 points5 points ago

yeah me too, going on reddit while being tipsy is never a good idea (note to self)

some people don't have life outside the internet

[–]Archybaldie 0 points1 point ago

This just reminded me that the last time i went to the cinema was when star wars episode 1 came out. Haven't been back since, i should probabaly fix that at some point.

[–]jackolantern_ 0 points1 point ago

There wasn't an episode 1 there was only star wars episode 4,5 and 6

[–]the_mad_felcher -1 points0 points ago

You are so right. The human mind is completely incapable of comprehending sheer and utter nothingness.

[–]Grizak -1 points0 points ago

Checkmate.

[–]RayGunn_26 0 points1 point ago

0 is a concept, and it has to be perceived by is for us to even know it exists, it is not nothing, is is just a representation of nothing.

[–]hjostrander 14 points15 points ago

A wink for the ladies.

[–]isaac13243 10 points11 points ago

But we want this superhero as well.

[–]KimberlyJongIl 16 points17 points ago

Post Maru on reddit, instant 2k karma

[–]Rocket_J_Squirrel 10 points11 points ago

Well, it is Maru, after all.

[–]AlphaCunt 0 points1 point ago

We have to clone maru. He's the blueprint of cats.

[–]Runneraz1 6 points7 points ago

Best cat ever

If we keep doing this stuff to felines they will rise up and enslave us...

[–]ajc_qwerty 0 points1 point ago

I think I'd be ok with a cat overlord...

[–]Friedumb -1 points0 points ago

Invest in catnip now!

[–]flipapeno -2 points-1 points ago

You say that as if they haven't already enslaved us.

[–]DrCheezle -1 points0 points ago

[–]Cisco2600 0 points1 point ago

You think we don't need Maru? HERESY!

[–]DrCheezle 0 points1 point ago

I was just relating the "hero reddit deserves" with a quote from the dark night. I'd cheer for that cat if I saw flying around doing some bad ass shit

[–]zoodiary8 -1 points0 points ago

The one eye closed is what really makes this picture

[–]abefr0man -1 points0 points ago

Maru you are the most magnificent furball of all time. With that being said, we need to clone him.

[–]lucasreher 0 points1 point ago

Not the one we need.

The Winking Wombat

[–]sekritkoad -2 points-1 points ago

Now imagine there's no neck hole. Just a cardboard box with cat feet, and interchangeable kitty heads with velcro on the backside.

My uncle works for Boeing, and I'm fairly certain he designed this.

[–]imagegami -2 points-1 points ago

this could turn in to a patent suit.

someone should see if they can patent this if it hasn't been yet.

[–]bahamallama26 -2 points-1 points ago

all hail maru

[–]redshirt55 -1 points0 points ago

It's time for Reddit to get the hero it needs... Not the hero it thinks it deserves, but the hero that it thinks.. that we think... it.. needs.. to deserve... Be-Because it's time! To deserve... a hero... and things... for Reddit... raarrr... Dark Knight.

[–]idiosidiot -2 points-1 points ago

Maru is extraordinarily beautiful and I love him.

[–]Grandeauxr -1 points0 points ago

I like when he sprints into open ended cereal boxes. Yup.

[–]JoshuaFB -2 points-1 points ago

This is the funniest cat picture I have ever seen.

[–]pandanomic -2 points-1 points ago

is it racist if I think that cat's asian?

[–]_I_AM_BATMAN_ -2 points-1 points ago

KARMARU

[–]HEE_HAW -2 points-1 points ago

Cats are more like super villains or anti-heroes. Your superhero doesn't seem to appreciate his wings too.

[–]Sternenfuchs -2 points-1 points ago

Be formless, shapeless — like maru. Now you put maru in a cup, he becomes the cup; You put maru into a drawer he becomes the drawer; You put it in a box, he becomes the box. Now maru can flow or it can crash. Be maru, my friend.

[–]Jorbus96 -2 points-1 points ago

The super hero reddit needs

[–][deleted] -1 points0 points ago

But not the one it needs right now

[–]mariloupan -1 points0 points ago

Now your challenge is to throw him in the air across your living room to see if the wings work. Don't forget to post the picture of course.

[–]ajacks88[!] 0 points1 point ago

I believe that face is called the Ron Swanson.

[–]Sweet_Candy -4 points-3 points ago

Lolol, I feel bad for this cat.
