People have to stop acting like animals are the stupidest most thoughtless creatures.
Yeah, most dogs probably understand it perfectly fine because it isn't a great mystery. They go in a room, they feel the acceleration, they feel the deceleration, they go out.
Sure, first time they are probably confused, but they are not completely oblivious to the world around them.
Also, yeah, this post is funny
Tbf people act like people are the stupidest creatures too. Especially historically speaking.
"How in the world could these complete and utter dumbasses figure out how to build giant piles of dirt in a specific shape? It must be aliens cause there is simply no way those idiots could figure that out on their own."
Especially if these people had a skin color any shade darker than white
There is obviously a lot of questions on how but I think the more interesting angle is why? Yeah humans at any stage in life could probably figure out how to stack these massive stones to create a few hundred meter tall structure. But the effort involved to do so must have needed some extraordinary reason, especially when you learn that the quarry they mined the stones from was 100s of kilometers away.
For the same reasons humans have done things throughout history. Worship, art, glory, vanity
Idk if it's just a trope, but there are allegedly people so into the conspiracy wondering if they were built from the ground up or the tip down. 😅
I think the idea the pyramids were build from the top is a joke playing of the things said by conspiracy theorists.
They were built from the top down. From the top waaaay waay down.
Each one has two round chambers at its base nearly 2km below the surface.
Edit: Eh, nobody got my juvenile phallic reference.
Oh, I saw it in a 4 hour long debunking documentary in potato quality on YT, but I do remember seeing the image.
They actually started from a corner
But which corner? Maybe it was the top corner 🤣
Ive seen dogs get scared of their own farts…
Not really saying much, I've seen adults do the same
Considering how almost unbelievably stupid some adults can be I think my point still stands lol
All i'm saying is that dogs are not generally completely stupid, just like humans aren't. Both groups have the extreme idiots
I've woken myself from deep sleep with my own farts?
In a few centuries, provided we don't nuke ourselves into squiggles in sandstone, I look forward to personhood being extended to our canine, feline, bovine, equine, avian, reptilian, marsupial slaves and neighbors. It seems absurd that homo Sapiens is the only species with interesting stories to tell.
Non-avian reptiles have very little going on in there with very few exceptions. Dogs, some corvids, some parrots, pigs, cetaceans, apes, maybe octopuses, and probably more but that's the spread that comes to mind: I can see "personhood" being applied. I love animals but I'm drawing a line and the average cat isn't on the same side as me and they're well above average in terms of reasoning and emotional capacity. Something can have personality without being a person.
Dolohins are the only ones I'm nearly 100% certain they have some kind of sapients. Probably some octopodes too but that will likely be completely alien.
