Waffles believes LOLcats can contain philosophical lessons, and I agree. This one illustrates the general crappiness of how our universe is set up, and it might make you cry, so I put it below the fold. Warning: Adult NOMing ahead:

This one doesn’t need much analysis, really. I grabbed the (captionless) screencap from this video on YouTube. (Be warned, the peeping goes on for long after the fuzzball has disappeared down the thing’s gullet.) Once in a while I need to make my citified self watch something like this to stay grounded and remind myself that Nature is really a bitch a lot of the time, even though I tend to see only the cute, fuzzy parts. But complete cynicism is a mistake: The beautiful parts are still there and are still enjoyable, and it’s wrong not to protect them when we can. Even the algorithmic evolutionary processes that led to that snake becoming the merciless predator it is are magnificent in their own way.
