    2% are dogs. There's also one gorilla, a duck and a green being among us :)
    Based on 150 samples. I don't know why i can't query the complete dataset.

  • I thought this was hilarious. Reason I'm a cat picture is because of the "uploading a file you certify that you have the right to distribute this picture" disclaimer alongside the fact that a lot of my other online accounts are pictures of my dog, lol. So it was just an attempt to mix it up.

    Dang. I might be very wrong. But I will never admit it.

  • I'm definitely a dog person as well, although I don't use any kind of animal as an avatar.

  • @Sascha if you really want to start making some spicy claims, you could say all cat people are folgzettel adherents?

  • my cat is barking. How do i account for that?

    Dang. Can't decide if it looks pissed or naughty. Or some kinky state in between. :sweat_smile:

  • Incidentally, the cat (his name is Little Z) advises me to work on my (weak) German to read your book. He also suggests settling on Zettlr+MikTeX+Pandoc+Zotero+BetterBibTeX, since I'm using Windows 10 (or else I would use The Archive).
