I don’t know how people take shitposts seriously. Do we have way too many literal thinkers on Lemmy?

ickplant@lemmy.worldOPto Dogs@lemmy.world•Research from the University of Auckland and UC San Diego found that dogs displayed clear jealous behavior when their owners petted realistic dog-like toysEnglish16·5 days agoStudies show dogs can-and often do-feel jealousy, especially when their human gives attention to another dog.
Research from the University of Auckland and UC San Diego found that dogs displayed clear jealous behavior-like pushing, snapping, or trying to insert themselves-when their owners petted realistic dog-like toys, but not when attention was directed at inanimate objects or books .
These reactions occurred even when the “rival” was hidden from view, suggesting dogs sensed the threat to their special bond .
Experts describe this as a form of “primordial jealousy”— an emotional response rooted in social attachment-rather than the complex, self-reflective jealousy humans experience .
In short, if your pup barges in when you’re cuddling another “dog,” it’s less about spoiled behavior and more about protecting their relationship with you.
Haha, you fool! You fell right into my trap of posting more void pics for my enjoyment!
I want these two to go on adventures together. It would be so much fun.

Oh, but a therapist can write an emotional support animal letter so you don’t have to pay kitty rent!
She can! She needs a lot of calories so she spend extra time hunting bugs at night.
Come here and give me a hug!
ickplant@lemmy.worldOPMto Bats@lemmy.world•Bat Fact: Tailed tailless bats eat a ton of bugs24·11 days agoand if you wonder why it’s called a “tailed tailless bat:”
The common name of the bat is typically given as the “tailed tailless bat”. This is because the species belongs to the genus Anoura, commonly called the “tailless bats”, yet it possesses a tail. However, the name is arguably somewhat misleading, since only three of the other seven species of “tailless bats” genuinely lack a tail.
I don’t, unfortunately!
