All animals are sentient, except jellyfish and other animals without a brain.
All animals are intelligent to some degree. Even bacteria have evolutionary intelligence, basically throw shit at the wall and see what sticks. They've been very successful in taking over our lives in this way; through the gut. Literal mind control, look it up.
Slime molds have demonstrated efficiency in their intricate webs to carry food through, Japanese took heavy inspiration from them when rebuilding their subways.
Squirrels can do advanced calculus in their heads, ants can farm, etc.
The only thing special about us is how unspecialized we are. We build tools, we pass on knowledge, we communicate with complex language, that's it.
If you took these things away we'd act like literal monkey people. We already sorta do.
Though if animals shared this ability with us, all of them, we'd be fucked. Our advantage would be gone and we would be firebombed by ants within a decade. Our sweets would be theirs.
All the invertebrates like ants and worms suddenly become aware of their extreamly short and pointless lives. Imagine the depression. The earth's suicide rate would skyrocket.
Most humans are barely above an animal and would have little more than pointy sticks if it weren't for the exceptional members of the species being able to write down and share their knowledge. The smartest animals are probably smarter than the dumbest humans.
All the exceptional members look pretty similar and intelligence testing shows people who look about like that are more intelligent on average. Maybe reserve your statements about humans not being smart enough for another era.
India, Indonesia and Nepal now face an impossible war against the local natural predators, mainly tigers who are way too fucking smart by default, so now the govs have to actually do something to protect civilians in villages because shit was already bad. Inversely Sunbears now maul people less.
all animals unite to crush capitalism and human supremacist governments. a new age of harmonic cohibitation between the humans who actually care to not extinct animals and said animals begins, but before that there will be aninal warfare and diplomacy.
Foxes continue to act and behave exactly like before.
They perceive or otherwise discover that there's enough documentation of them doing weird things that a) we're already imagining shit that b) can be useful as cover so long as c) we don't catch on that they're suddenly sapient.
They simply present this outwordly as random and thoughtless while applying it toward an actual goal.
The goal being, of course, to just fuck with us that much harder.
Because it's funny.
The only exception to this would be to punish a few people in discreet ways that maintain their cover.
I feel like we'd have to kill all the people who still want to eat them and it won't be pretty. I eat them now, but if pigs started talking I couldn't do it. Unless they were really racist... but then we've got a whole other problem so idk.
>invitro meat >set up a bunch of machines >machines that require a lot of energy to run >that have to be kept sterile at all times >for meat cells that have to be manually fed, breathed, and clean >that amount to little bit of meat paste thats only good for nuggets, the worse meat product
lol, lmao even, unless you break the laws of physics, vat meat is a meme that will never go anywhere, like solar or wind, or unless they invent some sort of artificial blood, because thats a big hangup right now, but even then that still get over the fact that you need a lot of power to do this kind of work
?si=6horVO8PGGDmuLVZ
or it can be explained as
?si=W7-INO8fJ2bwEtKm&t=22
even then a cattle are cheaper, goats, sheep, pigs, or anything that turns garbage into something, like grasshoppers or worms, would just be better and doesnt require a power plant to produce food
they start killing each other more efficiently
aside from that, nothing
only humans have opposable thumbs
good luck building weapons as an ant or ungulate
All of man and animal kind would stand as one and destroy Israel.
Most of our technology is meant to work with our level of dexterity strength and our anatomy so we'd still have a severe advantage until they'd had years to establish a factory or something to make things to their specifications. I think the biggest issue would be domesticated animal farms because of how many of them are there and how easy they would be to escape for say organized cows or pigs and how completely unprepared we are to meet our societies protein demands without that. Just them escaping would do enough damage to our food supply and economies the ensuing chaos would be a bigger threat than most of the animals themselves.
crabs take over, seriously, theyre everywhere and super adaptive

Total ant domination
i win all my arguments about how animals can consent
The average IQ of the planet drops 5,000%
nothing happens, being intelligent or sentient mean nothing if the animals are not also educated
>What happens?
Ants fuck us all over with a perfect collectivist eusocial society.
>sentient tube worms trapped in the deep ocean eating dirt for their 200 year lifespan

There is suddenly billions of angry chickens, pigs and cows that revolt.

its called a howdah pistol
Great. TPD can be done for us

Predator and prey can never coexist.
yes they can
look at humans and their various of prey pets
So what, sheeps shoupd make pets out of wolves? And feed them what?
Dont be retarded.
yes, i know some ewes who do exactly that but its dogs instead of wolves and they feed them food they cannot eat
global thermonuclear war

Africa finally becomes a first world nation.

What would we do about obligate carnivore species then? Genocide them?
The best answer would be to invest EVERYTHING we have into invitro meat.

what about carnivorous animal-men; would you genocide them too?
>if ____ were really racist, I'd have no problem killing and eating them
Cats will not really change. They’ll still be as autistic as ever
I wonder if they'll be mad I beat my dick with them in the room.
The factory farm workers have a very strange day at work.
Be even more suHispanicious of men with female dogs
Global ecosystem collapse.
They get on Wauf and call you a homosexual for making this thread.
Finally go on a date
just move to wales
They can talk in Wales?!
Well nobody can understand the welsh either so it's the same thing really.
I lol'd
I like the Welsh, but that was a good one.
ewe wish
pic related
why are fucked
they start killing each other more efficiently
aside from that, nothing
only humans have opposable thumbs
good luck building weapons as an ant or ungulate
Other apes/monkeys and raccoons have thumbs.
the very first thing i would do is tell my kitty just how much i love him
its been nice seeing you lads, i stepped on an ant once and now ive been marked for death
dont worry, youll be safe under crabitalism
>marked for death
Me and my turtle go into the shrimpin business.
