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 89 points 3 months 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...

[–] Shellbeach 16 points 3 months ago (1 children)

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

[–] A_Union_of_Kobolds 9 points 3 months ago

That's fair.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 3 months ago* (last edited 3 months ago) (1 children)

~~Turkey~~ Türkiye

That's a bit nitpicky, of course.

[–] A_Union_of_Kobolds 6 points 3 months ago

I keep forgetting that, my bad

Gun Daddy*

But is the cat a crack shot too?

[–] jaybone 17 points 3 months ago

Cat is adorable.

[–] [email protected] 16 points 3 months 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 3 months ago

Same as with partners, loved pets often look alike.

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

[–] HootinNHollerin 2 points 3 months ago (1 children)

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

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

Name?

[–] [email protected] 0 points 3 months ago

Really? Have you tried "Olympics"?

[–] [email protected] 10 points 3 months ago (1 children)

So he's our new king now ay?

[–] [email protected] 5 points 3 months 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 3 months ago

Yeah, but we will have 4 new kings by then

[–] Clbull 8 points 3 months ago

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

[–] Boozilla 7 points 3 months ago

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

[–] thesporkeffect 7 points 3 months ago

This guy is the best Turkish PR in a generation

[–] feedum_sneedson 2 points 3 months ago

I like cats; I consider myself a cat fan.
