this graph is not to scale
I was migrating from Google Photos to Ente a few days ago, and I needed to upgrade the storage specifically for the gigantic amount of cat photos I have. Some are taken in quick succession so they look almost identical. I will NOT be deleting them.
It bothers me more than it should, that the graph does not accurately portray the magnitude of 28TB vs 540GB
Checks out with my long cat
Danger noodle! My dad had a corn snake as a classroom pet when he taught 6th grade in the '90s.
Counter argument, I have a dog with cat firmware 
I currently own no cats. But I still am running out of space due to random cats.
I have this guy...
chinchilla?
Yep! 🥰
Married with two cats. There's never enough storage
What if I’m in a relationship and also have a cat
Uhhhh... This is unfortunate true.
Can confirm.
Can too.
You stole my cat.
Can also confirm. I'm just the opposable thumbs holder for my cat's selfies.
They're so cuuute
28TB? those are rookie numbers.
Dogs too!
Yup!
Beautiful pups!
Just wait until you get kids...
I made this comment to my wife recently. I have a total of 2600 photos on my Google account going back 18 years. 1/2 of those are of my cats. I've only had cats for 4 years.
My phone has about 32MB of internal storage plus a 64GB SD card. Only taken about 225 pictures on it so far over a few years now.
My cats are the main reason I'm building a NAS
I'm married with 3 cats, got 512 GB storage of which 50 is in use
my cat pics Google photos album that I share with grandmas and aunts has over 2k pics in it lol
I gained 3 gb on my phone recently by transferring all them to my desktop and I was unsurprisingly how many photos of the kitties I had
