For preserving the least toxic and most culturally relevant Tumblr heritage posts.

Image descriptions and plain text captions of written content are expected of all screenshots. Here are some image text extractors (I looked these up quick and will gladly take FOSS recommendations):

-web

-iOS

-android

Please begin copied raw text posts (lacking a screenshot that makes it apparent it is from Tumblr) with:

I made the icon using multiple creative commons svg resources, the banner is this.

Meow in Japanese

Wow I didn't know cats spoke different languages. What does a cat sound like in Brazil?

miau

Bonus: bunnies jumping in Japan can be heard making the sound pyon

Japanese has tons of great onomatopoeia. The Fox says "kon kon", and the mouse goes "chuu chuu".

And kissing is chu, I believe, so mice make kissing noises?

[–] [email protected] 5 points 11 months ago

Yep, a long kiss at least. 😛

Not only cats, most sounds are expressed differently in different languages. If you want to learn more about that you should search for cross-linguistic onomatopoeia.
