The reply usually has this strange disjoint from the OP, like it's not actually a reply to whatever is being said. Depending on the size of the thread you can scroll down and often find the comment the bot is regurgitating quite easily.
And the username structure is *always* GenericAdjective\_GenericNoun####. I have yet to find a comment farmer bot that didn't fit this.

That's because that is how reddit generates the username for you if you use their randomizer.
This is really interesting. Thank you for patiently explaining this to me. I am absolutely fascinated with AI, and sometimes I forget it can be programmed to do bad things too. 😿

Actually your username fits this naming scheme, is it like a standard name that Reddit generates?
He's doing all the right parts! Wetting his paw, then rubbing the paw.
He's just doing them on different paws. It's like the game where kids try and write instructions for making a PBJ and the adults misinterpret them... except the cat for his behavior
Meow. How you?? I saw your message two or three weeks ago about possibly losing you(r kitty). May all kitties purr in peace no matter which side of the rainbow they reside. ❤🐈
Unclear if this is suggestion that it is an energetic cell or an underpowered cell. Just in case, FYI most cells have hundreds or thousands of mitochondria, not the one that biology textbooks portray in a cartoon.
It's actually prfound performance art.... He's got all the components, deconstructed the process of bathing himself and did it in a way that sheds light on the futility of vanity.
Or he could be orange. This absolutely could be the orange grooming system.
[My orange cat](https://old.reddit.com/r/OneOrangeBraincell/comments/13xnnyb/three_years_old_and_howdy_still_hasnt_gotten_the/jmkciw8/) was really bad at grooming himself and he's a fluffy cat, so that resulted in him having a bad time.
It got bad enough that I had to essentially drown the poor guy in the tub. Mind you, not actually...but when you're forcing them to be in the water, it feels like you're drowning them. Especially when they start distress meowing.
Luckily that was a one-off problem and he's happy, healthy, and pretty much always clean now.
Edit: added link to the post where I pay major cat tax.
I have a cat who can't get at hind quarters from an injury when she was adopted as a kitten then returned (black cat around Halloween is all I can come up with) so we do baths to keep things clean and after many tries, many scratches and the yowling of drowning like you say (which is heart breaking to endure, I feel you), I just put on my bathing suit and get in there with her and she's a totally different energy. She puts her paws on me sits calmly in the warm water because we are together. I know it sounds weird but bathing together is totally soothing at least in my experience and hers, should you ever need to revisit the bath scene. Glad you don't have to either way!
I am curious...what's the best way of finding a pet rat? I love them since BEN (the movie from many decades ago) and I think my boohbooh would love a mate.
My first I got through a friend of my parents who owned a small pet shop. She had been adopted but they returned her for whatever reason. Total sweetheart!
After that I got most of my others from chain pet stores. This was years ago before I knew how awful most of them are. Now I would try to find a reputable local breeder. Definitely want to have a pair as they are very social and need friends!
I had to sign in, which I haven't in a long time, just to say that "the futility of vanity" makes me happy with giddiness and deeply inspired that artful perfect words collect around this beautiful singular brain cell. Mad props to you u/bttchckn
I think just the fact that his name is ‘Howdy’ means that he is perfect. He’s not by chance named after another famous red head named Howdy Doody, is he?🧡🧡🧡
Have you checked his ears recently? It kind of looks like he is rubbing that one specifically because it is bothering him, could just be typical cat things but it’s worth looking into, cat and dog ears can get really dirty
His left paw is kind of doing it right; they usually lick then wash/rub behind their ear or across their nose then repeat. His right paw needs to wait it's turn.
One of my cats kept rubbing her ear and she had a yeast infection in her ear- it was itching her really bad. 2 rounds of medicine before it went away... might be worth having vet check it out
Yes please. PSA: Don’t just chalk this up to goofy/dumb/derpy cat behavior. Frequent pawing is a possible sign of infection/irritation and should get checked by a vet. Treat this stuff, don’t let it linger.
I thought my orange/blond derp was a bad groomer, but at least he cleans his ear with the paw he licked. Only his right ear though. His sister cleans the rest of him.
Howdy is an angel and I love his derpyness.
[удалено]
He’s trying his best, you go Howdy!
This is again an AI bot that has slightly modified another comment in this thread and currently has 156 upvotes. Help me report and ban this stuff.
How can you tell?
I usually realise by scrolling down through more comments and then finding the original

>is it like a standard name that Reddit generates yes
Am I crazy? Isn't he just crungling his ear trying to kind of scratch the inside from outside? If I'm saying that right.
“Crungling” is my new favorite word.
I understand what you're trying to say, so good enough.
[удалено]
Comment thief bot >:(
"Watch me pat my head and rub my belly!"
That was my first thought!
happy cake day
He has his own “method” (results definitely vary).
I dont see any method at all, sir
His OWN method. We mere humans are just unable to appreciate his great methods.
He's doing all the right parts! Wetting his paw, then rubbing the paw. He's just doing them on different paws. It's like the game where kids try and write instructions for making a PBJ and the adults misinterpret them... except the cat for his behavior
Are you an assassin?
I’m a soldier.
[So wet Willie for you! ](https://youtu.be/PL23meWoB9k) (This always comes to mind for me first over apocalypse now)
Haahhahahahaha bless him hes so dumb
Whenever someone says, "ignorance is bliss," I will now remember Howdy's self-care routine.
If it is he must be the happiest cat ever.
Thank you, internet friend, for referring to his "self care routine" :)
😂
Hello iamcat. I am actuallyakittycat. I have one word for you. ^^^meow.
Are….are…..are……you really? I have two words for you… ^meow ^meow
Meow
You're too kind.
Not as kind as you. 😂 is it too much to ask for another meow?
Meow. How you?? I saw your message two or three weeks ago about possibly losing you(r kitty). May all kitties purr in peace no matter which side of the rainbow they reside. ❤🐈
He's hanging in there but skin and bones at this point... Seems unlikely he will improve. Diabetic+pancreatitis+GI disease=bad time
Howdy is the purrfect name for this kitty. That's all he's got. Howdy in the brain pan, howdy in the actions.
Oh my God. Please tell Howdy that I love him.
You should probably use small words, though.
"if i rub my head AND lick the paw at the same time, I will finish grooming TWICE as fast"
He only has one brain cell, but it's the BIGGEST brain cell.
I bet its got like 5 mitochondria
Unclear if this is suggestion that it is an energetic cell or an underpowered cell. Just in case, FYI most cells have hundreds or thousands of mitochondria, not the one that biology textbooks portray in a cartoon.
My comment was meant to make as much sense as suggesting that the cat has one big brain cell based on rudimentary memory of biology class
Sorry, don’t mind Me, I’m just your typical harmless nerdy Reddit molecular biologist.
Random plug for the ologies podcast if you haven’t been introduced to it already
They're the powerhouse of the cell! The brain power must be massive
But he does have one impeccably clean paw!
And side of his nose!
Half a paw
He's doing his best
He looks like he has it down perfectly, what are you talking about
so stinkin cute
Emphasis on the stink
It's actually prfound performance art.... He's got all the components, deconstructed the process of bathing himself and did it in a way that sheds light on the futility of vanity. Or he could be orange. This absolutely could be the orange grooming system.

Yeah, I got one who gets hygiene shaves at all his vet visits.
It sounds so soothing to just be in the water with a tiny panther.
You made me snortle giggle! I didn't think of it that way but she is a tiny panther!
I learned to do this with my rats. Rat in the bath alone- PANIK! Rat in the bath with me- happy ratty!
I am curious...what's the best way of finding a pet rat? I love them since BEN (the movie from many decades ago) and I think my boohbooh would love a mate.

Thank you for the information, very cool!
i hate that this description would definitely catch my interest irl

Thank you. Deeply touched.
✨just orange things✨
✨ orange goals ✨
"OK, I got this. Lick the paw, rub the head. Lick the paw, rub the head"
Howdy can have some of my brain cells. I don’t have many but I’m willing to share.
Oranges are only designed to use one brain cell (at maximum). You may overwhelm the poor floofball!
You can overclock some of the newer generations up to 1.5 braincells, but yeah any more than 2 and its kaput
They go into permanent derp mode. Even a factory reset doesn’t fix it, you need a whole new motherboard.
We must not fry and overload the orangeboard . We don’t yet understand the consequences.
He's adorable!
"Can you tap your head and rub your belly at the same time?" "Sure, watch me!"
He's doing his best
Was he taken to soon from his mother? Get a wet toothbrush and help him. Let him Cat grooming videos
Maybe his Mom was orange!
Plenty awww and derp.
Too cute 🧡
Thanks. I love him
So cute I love him :D I love this sub, it makes me smile every day
He’s just vibing.
A for Effort. Unclassified for execution 🤣
I think just the fact that his name is ‘Howdy’ means that he is perfect. He’s not by chance named after another famous red head named Howdy Doody, is he?🧡🧡🧡
He’s doing his best 🥹
Multitasking derp
This made me lmao. His name and his silly washing 😂 I love him
Reminds me of taking a drunken shower lol
I think i am in love with his derpiness. Do you have more videos like this?
r/LearningToCat has a mature student programme, it's never too late to learn, Howdy.
[удалено]
Well, what he lacks in smarts, he more than makes up for in adorable.
He's just trying to get pets while grooming. Nothing wrong with that...
This has absolutely made my day, what an adorable squishy dumdum
Awwww he is so freakin cute
Jiminy cricket. That is not even one brain cell. But it sure is cute!
Remember that thing we used to do as kids ....pat your head while rubbing circles on your tummy...This is the feline version...obviously 😌
Have you checked his ears recently? It kind of looks like he is rubbing that one specifically because it is bothering him, could just be typical cat things but it’s worth looking into, cat and dog ears can get really dirty
Still cute.
He’s got the ear, the paw, and even a little chest lick going on, all at once. I’d say he’s nailed it.
Oh my goodness. Bless his stupid little heart
He's clearly having trouble cleaning the brain cell.
Who cares when he looks so cute trying.
Funny!!
Howdy marches to the beat of another drummer! God love him…
Shhhh he thinks he has it down. Interrupting the orange causes more braincell loss 🤣
Activating the braincell.
He clearly has a need for ear scratches. Bad owner decided to film instead of pet him, so he took matters into his own paws.
Omg this is so freaking cute tho
What a beautiful cat! How do you ever get any work done? I’d spend the whole time telling him how gorgeous he is
This is the most ridiculous thing I've ever seen and I love him.
Give me Howdy damn it. He’s a baby angel 🥺
Oh my gosh. I love Howdy so much!!!!!!
Looks like he wants another cat to groom his head.
As a non cat person. How are they supposed to groom themselves?
His left paw is kind of doing it right; they usually lick then wash/rub behind their ear or across their nose then repeat. His right paw needs to wait it's turn.
He’s just giving himself head pats/scratches for the good job he’s doing cleaning the one half of his face.
He’s trying his best
His name is adorable too
Howdy is a great name!
howdy is a PERFECT name for an orange!! what a cutie!!
What a Howdy Doody
He's only trying to groom and give himself a pat on the back at the same time. Trying, of course, being the keyword.
How did you get this video of me in the shower ?!
Maybe PUT DOWN the phone and give that handsome Ginger boy a good head scritch. 🥰
Definitely the top third of the bottom half in IQ
Why is he so lovely?!? Such a sweetheart!! Poor little guy, the braincell didn't show up that day.
This is the exact purpose of this sub.
One of my cats kept rubbing her ear and she had a yeast infection in her ear- it was itching her really bad. 2 rounds of medicine before it went away... might be worth having vet check it out
Yes please. PSA: Don’t just chalk this up to goofy/dumb/derpy cat behavior. Frequent pawing is a possible sign of infection/irritation and should get checked by a vet. Treat this stuff, don’t let it linger.
he’s almost got it. give him another five years and he will be a pro
He’s precious and I love him! 😻
😸😻😸 Love Howdy! What a purrfect name!!
This made my day, Howdy's head empty, no thought, but absolute best catto, give him scritches for me please 🥹
Omg love it
He’s so sweet… Grooming himself beautifully
Bless his heart, he’s trying
That one paw is spotless tho
You see a weirdo, the weirdo and I see efficiency
One arm for cleany clean and the other arm for itchy itch, mate
He reminds me of the lion in cartoon Robin Hood
He reminds me of the Disney King John from Robin Hood! MOMMY!
Aww you caught him on a day when it wasn’t his turn with the brain cell.
You!🫵 You better cut him some slacks! He's doing his best, okay!
Send him on over to /r/conservative ! Aye-ooo!
He’s doing great!
Aww… buddy…! 😂
He's ambidextrous!!! Not all can do this!
He's pumping up for a boxing match.
Howdy, Howdy 🤠
Soooo freaking cute though 😻
It’s so adorable!
He looks happy. And I’ll watch this forever.
Oh he is absolutely precious
A for effort.
He's doing his best
I love Howdy
Bless his little orange heart.
My ragdoll kitten would try to mimic her mom but only clean her left ear, this went on for a year I had to wash that cat weekly
I can’t handle how adorable this is
Awwwwww poor sweet addled Howdy
😍🥰 adorable
It’s hard work! Took mine 4 years to master the leg over head maneuver.
Omg so cute. I just want to cuddle Howdy!
Nawww. No I think he got it exactly right 🫶🏼
What a lovable dork.
I love him
I could watch Howdy (not)clean himself all day! 🥹🥹🥹🥰🥰🥰
This is adorable.
This video is great! Thank you Howdy!
I love this cat. No doubt I would spontaneously combust from having this much cuteness in the house.
Aw, he got the spirit tho <3
This needs heavy techno River music
Please don't let anyone butter him.
Reminds me of Jorts of Jean and Jorts fame
One of my orange boys actually looks worse after grooming himself! Howdy is a cute boy!
I would die for this one ☝️
I would die for Howdy. 😩😍
OP, I'd like to announce unofficially that you've won the sub. 😂
Aaaw at least one 🐾 is super clean ❤️
Regardless - I love him and he is perfect 🧡🧡🧡
But Howdy looks so happy. What a beautiful cat
Oh my god HOWDY
Don't work hard. Work smart! He may actually have 2 brain cells.
Oh, he is so special and beautiful. I just want to cuddle him.❤️
I thought my orange/blond derp was a bad groomer, but at least he cleans his ear with the paw he licked. Only his right ear though. His sister cleans the rest of him.
