ikapoz, in Be a better pirate.

My son has a children’s book with the line “Pirates always pay their share”. Literally the opposite of what pirates do, drives me nuts.

I love you Neil Gaiman, but you’re better than that.

Just because they’re pirate doesn’t mean they don’t believe in sharing.

ikapoz,

I don’t think divvying up the booty is really the same as sharing, albeit much more fun to say.

A lot of pirate ships sailed under ‘the articles’ which guaranteed a full share for every crewman, a share and a half for officers and two shares for the captain.

I mean, no joke, a dog whining/ begging is conditioning you.

I am a dog.

I beg. You give me food. I look cute.

I beg. You don’t give me food. I cry.

Next time I beg, will you give me the food?

Probably.

After that: I look cute. You give me food.

Congratulations, you’ve just been conditioned by your dog, buuuuut you get a cute dog, lmao.

Kusimulkku,

Too bad it’s not Pavlovian conditioning afaik

ikapoz,

I seem to remember reading that domesticated dogs evolved more expressive eyebrows that proved to be a survival advantage in this process.

I’ve seen a few things that have shown many animals have developed a sense of “cuteness” specifically to deal with us.

SolarNialamide,

Yeah they evolved to keep much more baby-like features into adulthood with a big head and huge eyes because that’s cute to us and triggers strong instincts of protection and love. I forget the exact name for it. And my cats do be looking extremely cute all the time so it was very successful.

AFKBRBChocolate,

I’ve long had a theory that cats have evolved to be just cute enough that we don’t murder them. Cats are evil, so it’s understandable that humans would want to kill them, and I think we probably did early on, but some of them were so cute that we didn’t. Those surviving cute cats reproduced and made more cute cats, but they also became more evil. Over generations, we have created beings that are supremely evil, but they’re just so gosh darned cute that we let them get away with it.

Well that and they kill pests. We also like things that are useful. I just wish they wouldn’t put the dead pests in my shoe 😬

Ilovethebomb,

Cats are an autonomous pest control system, that’s why they’re everywhere.

Cats don’t have any of the typical traits of domestication. Humans do.

Draw your own conclusions.

Found the article: www.pnas.org/doi/10.1073/pnas.1820653116

That is super neat, you’re right! It was bread into them due to human preference.

    theangryseal,

    This reminds me of the silly iPad games my kid had me playing a decade ago.

    I miss it. :(

    harmsy,

    Replace every instance of dog with cat and you’ve got the reason I give out treats at night before I start cleaning dishes.

    kn33, in Accurate labeling

    Idk what med this is supposed to be but if I have a pill that feels like it’s sticking on the way down, I chase it with a handful of peanut M&M’s and that seems to do the trick. Plus I get an excuse to eat candy in the morning.

    EatYouWell, in help

    My wife’s shop just won’t do face tattoos unless you already have one, or its something tiny like a heart by the ear or something.

    Klear,

    “I want a tiny heart by the ear, and after that make my whole face look like a demonic skull.”

    afraid_of_zombies,

    Congrats red team. You privilege escalated yourself to victory. Enjoy your face tat of a demon skull.
