Animals are a lot smarter than we give them credit for.

I know a lot of science says we “humanize” them but even if they don’t communicate or experience the world the same exact way we do, they’re also living things with complex brain processes like we are.

One day an animal is gonna be really happy to get water from you for sure.

But man are jellyfish dumb.

"No thoughts, head is water" sounds a very appealing way of life.
