What else have people learned through Bluey?

I don’t smell stinkbugs, either… Apparently that’s also genetic.

But have you smelled ladybugs? Absolutely foul.

I have questions.

Eh, I don’t know, I don’t have any allergies… And I think my gross lifestyle has something to do with it.

There are also some related wolf behaviors. Pups seem to lick parent faces to trigger them to regurgitate foraged food when they return to the den after hunting. I always imagine that my pup is licking my face to get me to regurgitate a smackerel of something delicious.

Yeah, I always thought it amazing that crows could keep track of items up to five. Maybe we read that one wrong if ants are capable of counting so high, or maybe they’re not exactly counting. I’d love to know more.

Is that churn or chum? (RN or M)

Most recent Ezra Klein podcast was talking about the future of AI assistants helping us digest and curate the amount of information that comes at us each day. I thought that was a cool idea.

*Edit: create to curate

Hahaha yes, thanks!

Love your local library. The Lemmy app is a good way to access content.

Also pirating… I live in the southern US, where they keep underfunding my library.

That’s cool, dude. I like your dog. But maybe think about the next pig you eat as ALSO being a sweet, intelligent, and inherently valuable critter.

There’s no reason to save a dog that doesn’t also lead to saving a pig, just as there’s no reason to eat a pig that’s not also a reason to eat a dog.

I’m interested, and I don’t know anything about South Korean meat production.

To be clear, I’m not arguing that people should eat dogs. I’m arguing that meat production tends to be horrific, and treating dogs any differently is ignoring some major issues in favor of human bias. I do know something about US factory farming, and it’s horrific: cruel to animals, environmentally unconscionable, and a social justice issue for humans working in and living near plants (for example, hog farms in North Carolina). I’m not sure how much worse dog farming could be. We just have more sympathy for them.

I downvoted this post as I don’t find this uplifting at all. I don’t eat meat, and I love my dog, but there’s no reason to single out dog meat consumption other than cultural norms and globalization. It seems like an unreasonable position for the South Korean government to have taken.
