I used to run a Twitter bot called @itsavailable that would mine interesting strings that were not registered .com domains and tweet them out at a regular cadence. One of its sources was the most-visited English-language Wikipedia page titles in the past hour.

One of the only domains I ever bothered purchasing for myself was https://catgap.com

    Thank you for brightening my day with your website. That is one adorable (and adorably annoyed-looking) cat.

    Hat tip on both your (new?) domain name and your username.

I once was thinking that if intelligent machines surpassed human intelligence, the end game would be human intelligence would atrophy but the machines would continue to serve us.

Then I had a humorous thought - what if this already happened, i.e. cats were superintelligent, invented humans to serve them and then they had no need for their own intelligence.

I'm surprised that sampling bias is not in the list. Is it possible that these fossils simply haven't been found yet?

    I think the postulation is that the cats would be so abundant, it shouldn't be hard to find their fossils.

The cat gap is due to the long time it took for the mutant descendants of Noah's cats to get to America.

    The universe was created to incorporate cats.

Ignoring the much more obvious explanation that they simply buggered off to do their own thing and there was nobody around to bang a plate with a fork.
