A place for majestic STEMLORD peacocking, as well as memes about the realities of working in a lab.
Rules
This is a science community. We use the Dawkins definition of meme.
AFAIK both dogs and cats recognize pointing. Dogs will look in that direction, as if you gave them a command. Cats also realize you're pointing at something in order to get their attention, they just don't give a shit and will keep doing whatever they're doing.
this isnt entirely true. cats are terrible at taking direction but it is possible to direct them. i've done it when my cat brought a live mouse inside and we had to hunt it as a team to corral it.
Two shepherd dogs would've gotten the job done
Dogs can't even tell if you launched the stick or not...
Nor can kids up to age 5 if you're good at deception.
Cats can't tell the difference between a real object moving on a surface and a beam of light..
Dogs are the same. They think they are humans. The first tribe members that clearly know that they are not humans are apes and some monkeys.
