>cows domesticated since they provide meat, milk, and leather>they also make plowing the fields easier as beasts of burden->chickens domesticated since they provide meat, eggs, and feathers>they also scratch the ground which prepares it for planting as well as eat pests in the garden->bees domesticated since they provide honey and beeswax>they also help pollinate crops which increases their yield heavily when it comes time to harvest->carp domesticated since they provide meat and thrive in poor water conditions eating waste>they also were introduced into rice paddies as a primitive form of aquaponicsIs there any reason why every animal we domesticated """mysteriously""" also helps out with agriculture? Seems kinda fake to me tbdesu.
>>5081747>Humans domesticated since they provide labor and knowledge processing>They also make stupid posts on the internet.
>>5081761humans are domesticated?
>>5081796Not really. Human-like primates, roughly 60% similarity, were tamed for a time but after 1865 have since been allowed to go feral. These creatures were never truly domesticated and never can be.
>>5081747it would be hard to come up with an animal that only provides a singular use case. maybe something like cats and dogs since we don't usually eat them but in a pinch you still could
>>5081811Korea is very well off thoughbiet
>>5081811Cats. Cats have no use case beyond being cute.
>>5081747>"""mysteriously"""It's only mysterious because you're fucking stupid.

>>5081840Myth due to the poor logic of early humans. Cats modify rodent behavior to make them more cautious because rodents evolved, adapted, to survive despite cats. Cats are passive hunters and dont go digging around burrows and overkilling like canids and mustelids. They conserve energy and water because they are desert animals. This means that the addition and removal of cats within a short time period can cause massive apparent swings in the rodent population from the perspective of a 75 IQ, illiterate, pre-industrial peasant that also believes flies are spontaneously generated from sinful thoughts. If you were an ancient idiot, it would look like magic. You would get a cat, and you would stop seeing rodents. Literally one day after you lost your cat, rodents would flood out.But they were always there. In actuality cats have no effect on rat populations and actually bolster mouse populations because they are better at killing animals that prey on mice or compete with them for food, like songbirds, voles, and harmless garden snakes. Many ancient humans also thought all snakes were bad because their instincts said so (identifying venomous and beneficial species was beyond their poor intellect) and thought birds were responsible for poor farm yields so they thought this was a good thing. Plus, they didnt see any mice, so the cat must have gotten rid of most of them, surely. Stupid isnt it? Well, it all comes from africans and semites, so, yeah.
>>5081747It's almost like agriculture is an ecosystem or something.
>>5081840more like small birds and reptiles' unnecessary killing>>5081850this
>>5081850Trvth nvkeCats were not bred for any useful purpose. They were bred to be meme animals. They only exist for entertainment. "Mousing" is a cope in the modern age because admitting this is unmanly.
stop turning this thread into another cat.hate circlejerk
probably because we only really domesticate animals that we can use yes paleoschizo, the holes in your brain dont stop that people bred them for ratting, no matter how bad they are at it in your copeyour mental illness doesnt overwrite fact, and you wont make it past 50 so it doesnt matter
>>5081920How does cats having no working purpose equal hating cats? Making food tasty is useless. Do I hate food?>>5081924Who the fuck is paleoschizo and if people bred cats for ratting, why is their entire history that of being left to their own pissy devices until spay and neuter made keeping indoor cats possible? Cats were not bred at all. They were domesticated and the stank stopped there because their effect on rodent behavior fooled retards well enough. Now we have veterinarians and science, and they are finally being bred for something, and that something is looking cute and being fluffy.
>>5081924Rent free lmao.
>>5081796Morphologically the difference between a cro magnon and a fully modern human is roughly the same as the difference between a wolf and a dog.
>>5081850I know this gets posted here alot but I kinda find it hard to believe that every human civilisation that kept cats as pets were this wrong about cats being pest control
