So what I’m hearing is they’re sea huskies

[-] [email protected] 18 points 6 months ago

Do huskies have the morals of a seagull?

[-] [email protected] 4 points 6 months ago

Do most animals choose between right and wrong, or are they acting on instinct?

[-] [email protected] 42 points 6 months ago

Huskies are definitely able to discern between right and wrong. They just don't care.

[-] [email protected] 11 points 6 months ago

Can confirm. My husky knows what she's supposed to do, she does what she wants as long as I don't say anything.

We used to think that animals couldn't feel pain now we know plants can. The whole idea animals just go off instinct is wildly outdated and comes from the junk science era of fascist human supremacy. They probably do have morals and they definitely don't align with ours.

That being said insects have a pretty good case for being instinct only considering they live such short lives but then again some bugs can go as far as recognize faces so maybe we're vastly underestimating their capabilities too. Slight tangent, their vision is also a lot better than we give them credit for too, segmented eyes have basically infinite depth of field and the vision quality isn't as bad as one would think.

There's a real big [citation needed] on this sentence.

Scientists: "Plants can communicate damage through a pathway exactly like a nervous system"

Google results: "Plants don't feel pain because they don't have a brain"

sigh I don't know what I expected. Fucking fascists... Sorry, can't cite this one because it goes against the agenda google wants to push.

Least brain-broken take. That's like taking an econ class and saying "I'm not seeing any evidence capitalism is a broken failing system"

[-] [email protected] 1 points 6 months ago* (last edited 6 months ago)

No, your take is like saying that capitalism is an infallible system, searching for evidence that capitalism is infallible, not finding any, then concluding that it's just the internet being brainwashed by leftists.

I was going to say Sea-Min-Pin but the OP never used "on PCP" as a descriptor.

[-] [email protected] 5 points 6 months ago

Semen pin, you say?

Jokes like that risk the health and safety of your ankles.
