i encountered this for the first time today while attempting to read something on archive.today.
i confirmed that decoding the qrcode using a computer and following the URL it contains is insufficient; the error it gave directed me here which is what the linked screenshot is of.

Well, I doubt your cat could scan QR codes
Discord?! Computers are a lot older than Discord! Cats have been jumping on keyboards since forever.
