>>5130138I almost wish you'd have gotten some kind of love or attention through your worthless life so you wouldn't have turned out to be a seething faggot spamming on the internet.But I'd rather you die unhappy, unloved, and wind up in some dank pit of nothing without ever having known it. Even if I have to see your faggotry every now and then until we're blessed with your suicide.

In the context of mammal categorization, are humans wildlife or domestic?
this is what everyone wants to know about your whore mother, you fucking retard
>>5129790Humans only count as wildlife if the majority of their diet comes from non-agricultural sources
>>5129790anatomically modern homo sapiens are domesticated because we have neotenous traits relative to every other hominid and even great apes. The only real exception are the australoids who have heavy denisovan admixture, despite being more closely related to us than bushmen and pygmies (who split from the rest of the human genepool ~100-300,000 years ago).This trend has amplified in recent history, with present-day humans having brains about 100-200 cubic centimeters smaller than bronze age populations in their respective areas (ie, european brains are smaller than bronze age europeans, asians smaller than bronze age asians). We're rapidly evolving towards eusociality which is something Tesla warned of. The future of humanity is networked 85 IQ mass bred drones plugged into an AI datacenter network which allows them to operate like a 100 IQ present day human.
>>5129790Depends on the race.

how intelligent are owls, in your experience? obviously, they're traditionally known as these wise sages of the bird world, and in reality, they're a lot dumber given how much of their skull is just eyes... but just how dumb?
>>5129594bears confirmed for highest IQ...
>>5129617> Asking a question once programmed to use language and presented with an unknown object is basic procedure for an animal already pre-programmed to query all unknown objects.Then surely an ape could do it, yet you are of the only species that has managed. The ape sign language programs are all far more fully described as Pavlovian conditioning/programming than Alex’s language training. But let’s zero-in on your idea that the bird was programmed to ask a question: the bird in this example was frequently asked questions and rewarded for answers when it demonstrated recall. It was never prompted to ask a question, such things were thought impossible, and if it was simple mimicry, then how would it know what the value of the answer is? Yet Alex demonstrated that he knew he was the bird in the mirror, using the answer he was given in self-reference there on, and that his color (gray) was also a color that other things could have, when he used that word to refer to other gray things going forward.Self-awareness is not some special human or mammal, or even vertebrate trait. It is the mental equivalent of proprioception, and anything with the mental capacity to plan will have it.
>>5129079They are pretty smart, just not as smart as Parrots or Corvids
>>5129812Nta, but I am just going to leave this here:>Some academics have expressed skepticism of Pepperberg's findings and suggested that Alex's communications is operant conditioning. Nim Chimpsky, a chimpanzee, was thought to be using language, but there is some debate over whether he simply imitated his teacher. Herbert Terrace, who worked with Nim Chimpsky, says he thinks Alex performed by rote rather than by using language; he claims Alex's responses are "a complex discriminating performance", adding that he believes that in every situation, "there is an external stimulus that guides his response."Personally, I think whether or not an animal can vocalize sapience or not is redundant, it's something unique to Sapiens. But just because sapience is a uniquely Sapien quality does not mean other animals do not have a form of sentience compareble to our own, just in a different way. Corvids and Parrots both have very different neurological pathways to Homo Sapiens despite how advanced their spacial as well as social processing is from what we can measure as outsiders. They will never, within our evolutionary life time, gain or demonstrate what we consider to be sapience, or any other organism for that matter which is not derived from Homo Sapien. But again, that does not mean they posses a form of sentience less advanced than sapience, it's just applying the rules of sapience as we process it on another form of sentience is redundant and shouldn't be the be all end all on determining the value of another organisms life. I think parrots should have some higher protections due to how advanced their cognitive abilities are, but I think anyone with hands on experience with one will agree with me that there is an alieness to them where they demonstrate a clearly uncanny sense of intelligence as well as awareness, yet, they are somehow still have some degrees removed from being comfortbly mammalian. High form of sentience, but still completely different from sapience.
>>5129079dumb, but not as dumb as OP or the average 4chan userat least an owl can go out on it's own and feed itself and expect to survive. Most of you faggots wouldn't make it a day in the woods on your ownLiteral retards with no self-preservation instincts

>>5128413I guess it should make its own life decisions, then. Looks independent or almost independent enough.It's been circling the house and climbing up the walls, acting perky enough so it's not dying from starvation at least. Also seen it hopping across the lawn a couple of times. Made it a couple of nests in places it frequented but it's probably best to chase it off really, so that it lives beyond the fence. Fewer chances of getting eaten there.

>>5129524Looks like a fledgeling that didn't make it.>>5129559Originally I was going to say that's not very likely. However: gas stations have vents on their tanks, these are usually mounted in an elevated position for safety. That's the kind of thing that:A) birds would like to sit onandB) can have a high concentration of fumes around themSo it's at least plausible that a bird might land on that & get intoxicated.
>>5129559>>5129864Or a different kind of fumes, the ones coming out of vehicles.Maybe it drank some windshield washer fluid.

water parameters in my 20 gallon are looking good. I'm going to add my first fish, cherry barbs on friday. Can't wait. I also started a five gallon I plan to keep shrimp in. Hopefully my image isn't sideways
>>5131136If that's for the shrimp, you probably don't need the heater.
>>5131136are you the NB anon who was looking for cherry barbs? where did you find them?
>>5126220I removed like 80% of floating plants and trimmed everything back. The light is much more noticable now, shouldn't be a surprise. I haven't taken the time to compare to the hygger. Maybe once sun goes down and can do proper comparisons
The worst thing about ticks is they lack the capacity to truly suffer, denying us the catharsis of bringing their wretched lives to an end

Why the owner of two large bloodthirsty feral dobermann hounds is not afraid that a pack of wolf predators are living in the same apartment who will yell and bark at the slightest sign of activity threatening to bite strangers and tear them into pieces like sacrificial mutton?An agressive fully grown dog breed can be just as dangerous as an armed robber. You cant counton him not to attack you yourself or friends coming over for a party because he lacks sentient intelligence.
>>5129809> sentient intelligence.Meaningless feel good word to make you feel special in your humanity.Anyways, 40,000 years of coevolution allows people who live with dogs to predict with high degrees of certainty what the dogs will do. Mistakes happen, but it’s safer than driving a car or being a pedestrian in an area where cars also drive.
>>5129809Pitbulls, which kill 3 times more people than all other dogs combined, still have a lower per capita violent crime rate than illegal aliens and have killed exponentially fewer people than islam. I stand by dog and cat ownership. I stand by Israel. #bombiran
