>>5080667 farmed buffalo lines were crossbred with cattle so that now even wild buffalo in parks have partial cattle ancestry so, not a fan.
Abominations. Cattle are inferior animals
>>5080667wait, buffalo and cattle can interbreed? I thought they were completely different speciesthey look cool, I guess
Or is this a cope from toxoplasmosis sufferers?

My new favorite animals are kakapos. Look how cute they are !
>>5081069Yeah
>>5081069Nah
>>5079008
>>5079008>[The kakapo] is an extremely fat bird. A good-sized adult will weigh about six or seven pounds, and its wings are just about good for waggling a bit if it thinks it's about to trip over something — but flying is out of the question. Sadly, however, it seems that not only has the kakapo forgotten how to fly, but it has forgotten that it has forgotten how to fly. Apparently a seriously worried kakapo will sometimes run up a tree and jump out of it, whereupon it flies like a brick and lands in a graceless heap on the ground.-Douglas Adams

What prehistoric animal do you wish was found frozen in permafrost? I think a Megaloceros giganteus would be neat, and also any unknown animal from the ancient Antarctica
smilodon
>>5084065Arctodus. Also I hope they find a megalania encased in limestone
shoggoth
Meiolania
>>5084065A species not yet known from fossils like a sasquatch
Is there any difference between mice and rats as pets?I sometimes hear people talk about how great rats are as pets but I never hear anyone talk about keeping mice as pets, although mice are cuter and less disgusting.
>>5083968>Rats want to be your friends, mice are fine with a landlord
>>5083968
rats have GIGANTIC nuts
>>5084051Thats an upside
I picked up this tank from a resale shop for $5 still new in the box. The brand name is Imagitarium. What fish would be okay with living in this size of tank?
>>5081947I'd like to say /aq/ is a better place for this but it's so fucking dead right now that even the resident schizo is failing to get (You)s.Usual suspects for nano tanks are:A BettaA small shoal of chili rasboraA dwarf gouramiProbably only one of those three though.
>>5082277thanks for the list>>5082091>refugium for larger tank you may find laterI don't want a larger tank
>>5081947>anoxic plenum filtration Anything. Don't settle for sponge filter bullshit. Go forth and multiply fish.
>>5081947I have the exact same one housing a betta fish and some plants. Only thing I changed was remove the activated carbon sheet and cut some sponges for the filter.
1x solitary 2cm (adult) fish
This shit is all over social media and has been for a while. Is it bullshit? What does /an/ think of it
>>5076024Have you ever met a dog?Of course its bullshit
>>5083689I would believe it if it were smart dogs that already attempt to communciate like huskies but doodles are not that smart. They cant even push a cracked door open and only know how to bark.
>>5083613Wouldn't we all?
>>5076024Iv been watching a lot of these, they are pretty fun. I feel like they are very much true. A lot of the time I notice when they actually try to form a sentence or a thought pattern, it very much makes sense but not in the way we think about things. I mean, it might be related simply to the way those buttons are arranged and words they chose to put on them..but most of the time..when they try to "form a sentence" or communicate, owner had to take a good minute to understand what they refer too because of how different they structure thought process. When sentences seemingly make sense, they are very much "of the feelings and notions" not necessarily of objects like we think but of past experiences that were related to simp emotions..there was this lady cat with cat being it seems quite smart. Cat was saying something like "tube plant".. woman in video almost half an hour to figure out it was the pumpkin food in the can she was referring and not some "plant" or a toy. It also it seems takes them a good minute to express themself almost as though they expect you to immediately understand, line you are the one who's having a trouble understanding what they saying almost..
>>5083969>line you are the one who's having a trouble understanding what they saying almost..if they're intelligent enough to think something and then press a button that is associated with that thing, even trying to get a specific outcome, it doesn't necessarily mean they're intelligent enough to understand that their owner has independent thoughts and independent knowledge from them, just like how a toddler might fail the sally-anne test (you know the one, where sally puts some cookies in a tin, walks off, anne puts the cookies in a basket instead, and when sally comes back you ask the toddler where sally will look for the cookies; many toddlers will say "the basket" because they know where they are, and don't realize that sally wouldn't.)also fuck this new captcha

>>5083843"Only wrong he did was bullying his parents." implying there's nothing wrong with being schizois following a post chain too mentally taxing for you?
>>5083869But you're mentally ill anon so your view is worth less according to yourself, why else would you sperg out over someone else being sick as if they chose to be? You can't even understand the moral difference between a condition like schizophrenia and deliberate bad action. Don't worry, it's not that uncommon to be an antisocial sperg on this board so you won't stand out all that much.
>>5083701I like elephants, too, they're my favourite animals.
>>5083886>having this much of a meltdown because your mental retardation was called outLol
watercowshttps://www.reddit.com/r/oddlysatisfying/comments/1pmbebf/cows_eating_freshwater_weeds/on the real doe, is there an equivalent to cows under the sea?
The marine animals most equivalent to cows are manatees and dugongs, collectively known as sea cows (members of the order Sirenia). They earn this nickname due to their large size, slow and gentle demeanor, and strictly herbivorous diet. They spend hours grazing on seagrass (or aquatic plants for some manatees) in shallow waters, much like cows graze on grass in pastures.
>>5083780I'm going down to Cowtown, the cows are friends to me.They live beneath the ocean, and that's where I will be Beneath the Waves, the waves. Yes, that's where I will be.I'm going to see the cows beneath the sea.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u91t0_wfL6k
Why do people hate pet owls so much?After owning an owl for over a month I can confirm they are very fun pets. Far better and easier to care for than large parrots because they are so simple minded (second smallest brain of all birds)They aren't active birds, only poop 3-4 times a day, and have an extremely simple diet. As long as they're hand raised by you they're friendly and easy to handle. They don't suffer if you don't dote on them 24/7 like parrots and they don't need to be kept in pairs or flocks to stay happy. They don't destroy all the shit in your house and it's very easy to breed them.Genuinely don't understand why they are seen as cruel to own when parrots are so much harder to care for.
>>5082270what a gorgeous creature
>>5081496wait, it's true that owls are thick in the head?? (I've heard it once before)
>>5081496love the eyebrows on those fellas
>>5081496Can you train the owls to hunt cats?
>>5081526The kind of stimulation you get in the wild doesn't mean always good feelings
You shouldn't do neuroscience from the armchair, especially if it leads you to conclude that toddlers aren't consciousPeople are taking swings at Eliezer for his claim that chickens, newborn babies, and other animals we eat are probably not conscious.Eliezer’s views on animal consciousness are completely ridiculous, especially as justification for not being vegan.Consciousness refers to having experience to there being something it’s like to be you. Eliezer’s view, in a nutshell, is that to be conscious, one’s brain has to engage in higher-order self-modeling. For that, animals need a sense of self, and so animals that don’t have that, and that can’t pass a mirror test, are not conscious. Similarly, before humans have a sense of self, he doesn’t think they’re conscious.This view suffers from several big problems:It doesn’t fit well with the neuroscientific evidence at all.It’s a highly specific theory of consciousness with no strong argument in its favor.Even if a person was pretty sure of it, they shouldn’t be sure enough to think that animal welfare can be safely neglected.
>>5080324Seeing a guy I once heard about just because he wrote a big Harry Potter fanfic under his real name being talked about like he's an expert on anything is really hilarious.
>>5080332Funnily enough the vocally anti-factory farmers are more likely to be pro-abortion
>>5080324You're right
>>5080324My impression of what I've seen of Yudkowsky is that he is the type of person who was told he was "gifted" at a young age and has decided to make that his whole personality. Usually people with that attitude manage to grow out of it by their late teens but he has continued in that state well into adulthood.I'm not sure I'd take any hot takes he makes seriously, especially about something as complicated as consciousness.
>>5080324Very few things about Yudkowsky make sense.
