i have no idea how long we have the boops but you just hit the "boop" button next to the username or the little paw 🐾 that shows up on their page to boop.
thanks for the ask (and for booping me), I had to use search to find out how it worked and i learned there were different types of boops + you could boop yourself and the cat lol. Sadly it was only for april fools because it was so fun (but we would get sick of it eventually)
btw. by the way. By The Way. BY THE WAY. if you gleefully boop you can also gleefully reblog edits. you can gleefully support content creators. you can gleefully leave compliments in the tags. i know you are all capable of pressing buttons now!!!!!!!!!!!!! REBLOG.
