    “What is up, dog?”

    Side note: the opposite of cat isn’t actually dog. The opposite of cat is goldfish. A goldfish loves water, is not fluffy, doesn’t exterminate every bird for sport, will never knock your favorite coffee mug off your desk, not bipolar, and I’m not allergic to them.

      There are several domestic cat breeds known for loving water; one is the Bengal.

      will never knock your favorite coffee mug off your desk,

      I once shared a house with someone who had a fish that would thrash around in its tank so violently it would knock things off the cabinet it was on and get water all over the floor (I had no involvement in the care of the fish, but I think its tank was too small).

      Not a goldfish, but still…

    What would be the opposite of any mammal? A carrot? A brick? A slime mold?

    Does everything actually have an “opposite”?

      I’d say everything has several opposites, each in a different aspect.

      If we’re following bizzaro world logic, the opposite of anything is the version that’s stupid, or if you’re stupid, then smart.

      I imagine bizarro me is teaching physics in a prestigious university.

      Humans (like most living things) like to put things in boxes to make navigating their environment simpler. Temperatures aren’t really opposites because they’re on a continuum, but we talk about hot and cold as opposites to bring order to environmental navigation. The same with presence and absence of light and bright/dark. So, extending this logic, the opposite of cat is the absence of cat, but that doesn’t really make sense. If you cut a cat in half, are you halfway on a continuum from cat to the opposite of cat? If the cat is whole but has died, is it cat, opposite of cat, something else entirely? I have no idea, and no one else really does either. Brains are weird.

    I would phrase it as, “What is ‘up’ and ‘dog?’” Being extra clear but ruining the joke.

    tee isn’t exactly the opposite of cat but I can’t remember a command that only redirects screen output to a file.

    What is up, tee?

    edit: what’s the opposite of “cd …”?

      cat is for concatenating files, so the opposite would be something that breaks a stream up into multiple files.

      It prints to stdout. I’d say the opposite is read, which reads from stdin.

    A dog will try to save your life if you’re drowning. A cat will sit on your head to keep from getting wet while you’re drowning.

    What is the opposite of a cat, then?

    If your answer is, “it doesn’t have one,” then I nominate dog.

    each letter in PNG is exactly opposite the corresponding letter in CAT if the letter were equally distributed around a circle in alphabetical order.
