  • LonelyTylenoL, on 07/07/2009, -3/+620For those who didn't notice, there's a cat in the left basket.
  • sulthernao, on 07/07/2009, -8/+310Osmosis is technically the diffusion of water, not cat.
  • Scald42, on 07/07/2009, -18/+234Cats have two settings: excellent and TURBO excellent.
  • MNorton17, on 07/07/2009, -6/+218I just ***** a brick
  • 471776, on 07/07/2009, -4/+207Too bad it's actually diffusion, not osmosis.
  • flossdaily, on 07/07/2009, -1/+168What if the cat is named "Water"?
  • MaxMyers, on 07/07/2009, -2/+163That membrane doesn't look selectively permeable to me.

  • db0255, on 07/07/2009, -4/+156Uh....osmosis is diffusion of water. This would just be your plain, old cat diffusion.
  • prettyawesome, on 07/07/2009, -9/+125Cat being funny = Dugg
  • Dromeciomimus, on 07/07/2009, -2/+103High five to the first guy who pointed out it was actually diffusion. The rest of you are just pretending to remember high school biology.
  • 80hd, on 07/07/2009, -2/+99You just doubled to the load on the server.
  • candlestickjack, on 07/07/2009, -1/+84What's that on the roof? It's my mind, because you just blew it.
  • sulthernao, on 07/07/2009, -3/+72"Osmosis is the diffusion of water through a semi-permeable membrane, from a low concentrate solution (high water potential) to a highly concentrated solution (low water potential), up a solute concentration gradient. The simplest definition is that it is diffusion of water across a semipermeable membrane."

    The picture should have been titled diffusion. But seriously, I was just making a snarky science comment. No need to get your panties in a twist.
  • BugMeNot2, on 07/07/2009, -0/+64STOP EATING MY ***** LEGO GOD DAMN *****
  • purple, on 07/07/2009, -1/+63You try crossing without being scratched then.
  • Pinkertinkle, on 07/07/2009, -7/+60Technically in osmosis the molecules that diffuse are the solvent, usually water, not the particular substance dissolved in the solvent (or in this case, the cat).
  • 471776, on 07/07/2009, -3/+42Except it's more an example of diffusion. Osmosis is a bit more complicated.
  • klipseracer, on 07/07/2009, -0/+38Thanks.... I didn't notice.
  • TubzyX, on 07/07/2009, -0/+35does it not occasionally rain CATS and dogs?
  • tgc1, on 07/07/2009, -2/+32Might want to add some fiber to your diet. Just saying man.
  • crilen007, on 07/07/2009, -2/+29Can I have it?
  • christoast, on 07/07/2009, -6/+31Is that the only context you've ever herd osmosis being used in?
  • Kashman58, on 07/07/2009, -0/+24...gotta pass through that semi-permeable membrane...
  • absameen, on 07/07/2009, -0/+24The man has a point.
  • huniper, on 07/07/2009, -1/+25That site has really odd advertisements.

  • inactive, on 07/07/2009, -0/+23Cletis, git over here quick like! The cat is osmitizin'!
  • simon182, on 07/07/2009, -0/+23Are you kitten me?
  • seventoes, on 07/07/2009, -1/+22WE

    DONT

    READ

    REDDIT
  • nipterink, on 07/07/2009, -8/+28seems like something bill nye would show to explain osmosis. i love it
  • Xaevier, on 07/07/2009, -0/+18Thought it was a blanket O_o
  • Pilot85, on 07/07/2009, -0/+17probably something to help truckers stay awake on long hauls.
  • spookyttws, on 07/07/2009, -0/+17Another key difference: this example involves cats.
  • jkendal4, on 07/07/2009, -0/+16Too bad they'll say you didn't understand today's bio topic, and osmosis is the diffusion of water. The title should be diffusion
  • walshgopher, on 07/07/2009, -1/+17inertia is a property of matter; BILL! BILL! BILL! BILL!
  • proplayer805, on 07/07/2009, -1/+17there was ..no joke?
    like bro, there's another cat in there.
  • Loonacy, on 07/07/2009, -0/+15Cats have three settings: excellent and TURBO excellent and Super Win.

    And Naptime.

    Cats have four settings... Wait, let me start again.
  • splicerslicer, on 07/07/2009, -0/+14Nah Jimbo, that there is case of the cat diffuzin'. Or to be more specific like, osmeowsis.
  • Evari, on 07/07/2009, -4/+17All other comments can be deleted. We have a winner!
  • klipseracer, on 07/07/2009, -0/+13What?
  • Fozefy, on 07/07/2009, -0/+13Well, cats have a high percentage of water in them...just saying :P
  • ducksoup31, on 07/07/2009, -0/+13Pics of pics or it didn't happen
  • kleash, on 07/07/2009, -0/+12Digg hates you.
  • MacVogt, on 07/07/2009, -2/+14Now I get it!
  • Blaike, on 07/07/2009, -0/+12Diffusion of water through a semi-permeable membrane? correct me if I'm wrong.
  • ghrog, on 07/07/2009, -0/+11^^what they said
  • Grolsch, on 07/07/2009, -2/+12and Digg front page worthy
  • buky125, on 07/07/2009, -5/+15Was anyone else disappointed when they clicked on the link and there was a cat instead of bacon, as the thumbnail suggests?
  • Pinkertinkle, on 07/07/2009, -0/+10no that's incorrect, it would be the air moving until the concentration of cats is equal on both sides of a barrier which is impervious to cats
  • Auraness, on 07/07/2009, -3/+13I'm emailing this to my teachers.
