I have a dog that pretty unambiguously follows camera feeds to know what is happening in front of the house. This is both recorded and sustained by countless observed instances where it looked at the cameras to know someone was coming before they made their presence known. It was not taught behaviour, but self-learned.The only thing I am uncertain about is if it has the capability to discern that the screen represents the real space in front of the house or if it simply taught itself the "cue" that seeing certain types of activity on it signifies something is about to happen, without making the connection it represents a real space.
>anti cat schizo is still samefaggingHow pathetic

Dogs are as smart and self aware as some monkeys and should be given partial personhood and dominion over inferior lifeforms

>>5039540That's why we ended up living to begin with. No giant mega predators that would actively hunt us, or giant mega herbivores that would actively squash us.
Post birds, appreciate birds
He let me get really close, but not pet him. Within a foot. Had pretty red eyes. I threw some bran cereal at him, but wasn't interested.
He disappeared into a giant bush so probably safe from predators now. Close up of the injury.
>>5027978if there is birds around, the chance of predators being close by is lessened. its like being around a warm fire. birbs are signs of peace
>>5022476Look at the bombastic side eye this fellow is giving you. Like "Yeah, I took your cilantro fucker, watchu gon do 'bout it?"
>>5021679> fuck, I hope no one saw that
>make eye contact with my dog>starts wagging his tail
>>5046743No, never use a crate as a punishment. Crates are often used for health related kenneling, emergency (ie: entire house and yard open for contractors), and transport. Come up with something else.Some people tie shithead dogs to the porch (and cats get tossed in the bathroom).

>>5047420Is your dog black?
>>5048924What a charming negress :)
>>5048924He has a black face, but he is not black at heart. He loves watermelon, but I think he loves honeydew the most.

>>5048644This.
>>5048567Only good post ITT>>5048644>>5048650Samefag
>>5048644Absolutely correct. All reddit does is copy what they think 4chan is based on 10+ year old thirdhand info from other websites.>>5048477Inspiring. God bless America and our armed forces dog's.
>>5048921Based image and based and correct post.
I have always and dogs ang I bought a cat for the first time. My friends also have cats and I think they're basically retarded or autistic. They stay in absurd position for hour or keep looking the wall where nothing happen. you call them and they don't come. When you pour water for the 1000th time in the pot and they look like it's the first time they see some magic fluid. Yeah I think they're definitely retarded animals.
>>5025055Cats literally only have the mental capacity to learn 3 words
My brother has a pack of cats and after one spent 3 days at the vet the rest forgot they knew him and attacked him relentlessly. Bro considered rehoming but eventually with enough catnip and strategic separation he mkultra’d them into playing nice (it took a month)He was raised by 2 of the cats as a kittenMy dog met my parents dog for the first time in 2 years and they acted like they had always known eachother (and both are aloof with new dogs)
>>5025040>don't let him kill me
>>5045578Don't reply to him in earnest anon this is just an anti-cat schizo thread
Yes. 1/2 as many neurons in a thinner, less dense cerebral cortex with smaller frontal lobes... compared to a chihuahua.You got to give it to cats for having reflexes and instincts tho. Dogs are like us. They mostly do what they learn. Their automatic behavior is severely lacking and they become very disordered without a good education so it's easy to fuck up a dog.Cats have no brain to mis-configure so it's almost impossible to fuck up a cat. The downside is training a cat is more like programming a computer. The cat's simpler mind won't fill in the gaps if your conditioning protocols are imperfect and don't directly create new pathways. But cats also won't resist proper conditioning. Dogs are reasoning and bargaining animals who can work with improper conditioning if they want to, and refuse to cooperate with proper conditioning (even refusing food or taking it and spitting it out) if they don't.Competently human-raised dogs > dogs raised by their mother and father> human-neglected and abused dogs

If it flies I must feedIf it swims I must feedIf it runs I must feedIf it wobbles around I must feedIf it tiny I must feedIf it large I must feedWhat is this strange impulse to throw food in the direction of another creature?
>>5048686The contrast between baby Asian elephants and baby African elephants is really something
>>5048646the human drive to nurture things we perceive as innocent. Comes with being a social creature
>>5048713what about spiders and snakes
>>5048759Most people aren't that drawn to nurture those things and it is often a learned appreciation, not instinctual. You see a small bird and you think "oh I might throw some seed", you don't see a snake and think "oh I might throw a mouse". Most people keep snakes because "they look/feel cool", which is a perfectly fine justification, but you will seldom find someone who keeps snakes because they have a genuine nurturing draw to them. That's not to say you can't be concerned about the wellbeing of a snake, but nurturing something is a different thing to wishing something is free of suffering. Spiders are the same sort of deal. People who feed spiders do so out of amusement. It's closer to like keeping a venus fly trap or some other carnivorous plant but instead of it being in a pot it is in the corner of the bathroom on a bit of web. The only time you will see a "nurturing" angle to people with spiders are with jumping spiders because of their more dorky appearance compared to something like a wolf spider. As a kid I was obsessed with spiders, but it was always down to them being cool and not because I saw them as something loveble. As the venerable Marge Simpson once said:>I just think their neat!
Are they really that dangerous or are they just a reddit bird.

I'm curious, /an/: If they do end up finding life/fossils on Mars (or Mercury or Europa), would that impact you personally at all? Would your beliefs or politics change? Would you live your life differently with the confirmation there's alien critters?

I am dead scared of diving with sperm whales because they can do to you what a submarine does when it launches a ping (aka vibrate your body with 265 dB clicks till you turn into mush). They could kill an entire diving party before it could even see them. The line between a wondrous experience and an atrocious death is drawn by the whim of an animal no smarter than a dog, and this frightens me immensely.
