Neoteny and it's consequences.
Dogs are pure, simple creatures that teach us how to enjoy and live in the present. They should be respected and taken care of, as they do for us.
Simple as.
>live with god
>he's basically your best friend
>you hang out all the time
>he somehow generates food and water out of thin fricking air
>no worries whatsoever, heat in the winter, air conditioning in the summer, toys and treats and comfy beds for naps
dogs are living the dream
horses have it worse
Because domestication literally makes animals moronic. It stays like a baby its whole life and depends on others to feed it. By acting like a baby, it becomes a surrogate baby to keep loveless humans from becoming destructive.
Then why do non-domesticated wolves still make such great pets for outdoorsy people? They are just jumpy, very energetic huskies, basically. Huskies even do the same things "studies" say wolves can and dogs can't (like look at your face and know where you're looking) - but then again so can a lot of dogs, because so-yentists only do their research on total idiots like beagles and labs. I've known german shepherds that could look at your face and then go sniff where you were looking with no prior explicit training. They just learned to do it on their own.
And why can domesticated dogs still hunt and feed themselves? My dog killed a cat last night. I caught her eating it and had to take it away and schedule a vet appointment to get some dewormer. Wild animals all die at 7 because they're full of parasites from eating animals guts... not in my backyard kthx.
And why is the primary social function of a pet actually ensuring loveless humans stay loveless? My dog has made me tons of friends, but also kept me from making friends with some idiots who turned out to be irritating homosexuals. I just tell them "i don't like people who don't like my dogs" and then months later they're still a friendless incel.
In fact I barely had any friends before getting a dog! Now I turn people down and THEY'RE the losers!
Shit, I even lost my virginity literal months after getting a dog
And it wasn't with the dog!
I hear cats do this too, you invite someone to your apartment -> they ignore your cat or are mean to it -> you tell them to GTFO. they like your cat -> besties.
uh sorry sweaty despite how well documented it is for pet owners to be social, that doesn't fit with the narrative the WEF installed in redditor drones.
you're meant to say pets are replacement children and pathetic and stupid so you will be glad when your overlords finally ban owning them "for the planet", shortly before they ban civilian meat consumption (only leaders and soldiers need that much nutrition). "for the planet".
it's the klaus schwab approved programming. a good person on the right side of history who trusts the experts knows that pets are thoughtless morons and replacement babies for losers. now give your dog up to feed a homeless Black and eat your bugs.
Probably because your brown and getting a dog made you look more like a white person /actual human to others
aw look the npc is trying to act like a person
When you pick up your dogs shit off the ground, at least it matches your skin color , so the whole spectacle doesn’t give off quite as much second hand embarrassment for you
I don’t clean up after my dog, I leave the shit right there, in your mudslime mouth.
the insult that comes to mind for “doggy boy” involves his own pet. You’re the one who has to smell that shit bro. At least you don’t keep it on a leash so your budget apartment neighbors can hope for the day it ends up on some rocks at the bottom of an outdoorsy hiking trail
You sound pretty insulted enough since your actual worth is less that of a dog, litter breath.
Same brown guy who said nobody noticed him until he got a dog, and still with all that supposed attention, posted a selfie to get mocked on Wauf? Shining example of self worth right there
>arguing like an underage moron
lol I know you get mocked on the daily you low functioning autist.
kek, now the little brown Manlet is reusing words from my post, like he is submissively waiting on his master’s permission to speak. No wonder people only notice your dog so you go begging for approval on 4chins
>reduced to coping because of a “no u”
Nice to know I’m not wrong.
You post like an insufferable incel. I never made friends because I had nothing in common with anyone else who wasn't a Black person or asian. Dogs got my foot in the door with other white people who do not like video games, anime, or weed. Otherwise it was only church, horse racing, or being a political extremist and those people are obnoxious or old. I live in a richer community it's like that. If you are under 30 and white 75% of people you could socialize with are libtarded druggies.
Something tells me you've been turned down because you didn't like someones dog
Clearly deserved
>Your dog is a menace
Lots of people keep pet rats. Does that mean your don't want your cat killing rats for trying to set up a little toilet+breeding colony 5m from your house?
If a farmer is allowed to shoot dogs for hanging out near his sheep
And a cat is allowed to kill shit in your backyard
Your cat isn't immune to being treated like a pest either
And I am glad my dog chases off and heems those little homosexuals because they have destroyed countless plants, left rotting meat laying around to attract more pests, and the only time I have ever had animal shit on my hands, after picking up probably 2400 dog turds, was when I was weeding the garden and hit a cat turd. Also living in a suburb where everyone has a dog I barely hear a few barks but I hear cats fricking/fighting and screeching every night some weeks. Deserved.
wealthy montanan detected
Based. The hypocrisy of outdoor cat people is astounding.
>yes go kitty kill the birds on someone elses land frick those little tick eating things and their pleasant noises
>NOOOO DOGS NEED TO BE FRICKING TRAINED NOT TO CHASE CATS ON THE DOGS OWN LAND HE JUST WANTED TO LEAVE CORPSES ON YOJR ROOF WTF
Just throwing shit over the selfie and blogging about being accepted because of your dog, but the part about it killing cats is pretty based ngl. Stray/outdoor cats should be exterminated with a vengeance
>selfie
the only doggays to post selfies have been the ugly celtic israelite mutt looking pitbull frickers
anon is clearly a huskygay who used a stock photo.
Why are dog haters always so cringe?
>And why can domesticated dogs still hunt and feed themselves? My dog killed a cat last night.
Your dog is a menace. Keep it indoors at night.
so tired of doggays almost been attacked twice in the past year because these homosexuals somehow let a fricking 50 pound animal slip out their door and cant keep them on a leash. Next mutt that runs up on me without a leash is getting their neck snapped
Pitbulls aren't dogs.
Only one was a pitbull
Yeah nice headcanon doggay, dogs tend to snarl before they attack you. Doesn't matter though even if your mutt sniffs my leg if he's off leash he's getting kicked
schizo screeching, as expected
cry moar. maybe if you get it out here you won’t shoot up a supermarket this week.
Keep seething doggay and keep your filthy mutt on a leash or I'll snap it's neck
keep going, let it all out. every shitpost you make quells a pedestrians worth of deadly rage. hopefully.
>Keep seething doggay and keep your filthy mutt on a leash or I'll snap it's neck
You have to be 18+ to post here.
>”almost”
>hysteria and power fantasy
Yeah something tells me this guy is just a schizo and a dog sniffed his leg or something
>inb4 schizo screeching
Domesticated animals are a tribute to man's triumph over nature. Dogs are dependent on humans to be clean, disease free and disciplined, but they are very loyal, useful for personal protection, property guards, hunting, shepherding, bomb and drug sniffing, etc. But more than a tool, they are a friend. They would die to save you if possible. The dog is an amazing friend, a trusty tool, a sentient weapon.
>Dogs are dependent on humans to be clean, disease free and disciplined
Dogs don't need to be any of these things to survive. Dogs do not even care about these things. In fact, wolves are none of these things and they do just fine. Their max age is 15, their average age is 7, and their populations explode as soon as we stop trying to exterminate them. Once in a while they lick off their paws and chew at the fur on their legs and maybe another wolf will lick their head. Just like dogs.
Stop giving yourself credit for absolutely meaningless achievements.
Right now if humans just abandoned all dogs, some specific western hunting, herding and companion breeds would go extinct but the vast majority of dogs do not need you. They just choose easy food over hard food.
Humans accomplished absolutely nothing in dog domestication except making some of them too infantile to eat if given a sealed bag of dogfood.
so what he actually says is
>i just spent literal fricking weeks of my life trying to teach an animal to stay off my couch and put up with me hosing if off every month
what a loser kek.

My dog liked baths. He's dead now. But when he wasn't dead, he liked baths
You can cry now.

I rest my case gentlemen
Cats detect cancer too and while they're often less reliable for It they have protected property and kids on It before, they can also warn diabetics if they forgot their dose without any training, their purrs helps our bones and their owners are less likely to be affected by cardiovascular issues, sure they break glass and have parasites but they aren't this bad
>Cats detect cancer too
Too bad they don't give a shit about anyone enough to tell them except, perhaps, to gloat cruelly because, well, that's just what they do, the evil little fricks
Cats purring is used by astronauts to reduce muscle loss in space.
>vast majority of dogs do not need you
I don't think this is true anon. In fact, what I actually mean is I know for a fact it isn't.
You are a moron.
they don’t. not genetically. you have to purposefully raise them to be incompetent when they would naturally learn to hunt and fight.

Is that a slav?
Dogs understand us better than we understand them
We are honestly pretty close in social structure at the core, pair bonding pack animals that raise young with the help of the old and the un mated young
we bred them to think of us as family
How
we didn’t. wild wolves act the same if raised by people.
domestication removed traits. it doesn’t add them.
that is why moron cavemen could tame them.
still our breed selection modificated their reaction to seeing humans, i dont remember if it was at seeing faces or what shape, with it releases the brain hormones that produce happines, that is similar or the same as the human family brain reaction.
wolves do this too, it's not about your species it's about you being their friend. oxytocin release for friends and family is a standard feature of social mammals. literally all dogs do is retain the ability to form new bonds for their entire life. wolves can't do that, they are one owner/family dogs that will never trust anyone else until they die.
>wolves do this too
>wolves can't do that
?
>moron cavemen
average neanderthal was smarter than you though
by killing all the ones who didn't
but a regular ass wolf does as long as humans raise it so you have a simplified view of things based on a reddit “humanity frick yeah” kind of autism
your ancestors were bumbling morons that spent two million years in the stone age. wolves domesticated themselves. they started living near people for free food and the ones that had an easier time socializing into adulthood stayed and the ones that did not ran off. human input was minor and possibly not even present. humans did not do shit. they didn’t domesticate any other animals for 30,000 fricking years and clearly did not understand the process. it was all complete accidents by morons that would make native americans look like a space age society.
>doesn't even superficially resemble me
WTFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF
Absolutely no way this is real
I read a paper that premised a concept similar to what I think that webm is getting at: cats think the people in their lives are just big, stupid cats but think of unfamiliar people as some other creature entirely.
Humans see human faces in everything. We have to discern minute differences in faces to tell people apart. To us, cat faces all look the same, but cats have to tell each other apart too.
So are we seeing the cat's brain "resolve" the human's face into a cat face?
Yes. I'm not sure exactly what's going on there, but that's a safe assumption to make. I'm
I'm trying to find the source paper but best I can find right now is some trash popsci book, Cat Sense. Well, it might not be trash considering it was written by noted anthrozoologist John Bradshaw. Dude's been researching behaviour and cognition changes during the domestication process for, like, four decades. But still, it's not the academic paper I was looking for.
I could have sworn Steven Pinker, a cognitive scientist, was involved somehow. That's my only lead since I can't recall any of the researchers' names.
it's not... but THIS is
no way!
Holy shit
Tell me you don't see a face in picrel.
I don't know about the rest of you, but that blurry, distorted image totally convinced me!
It's cute when they act confused but i'm always wary of something like the orange cat where they see you as dsnger and try to frick you up
There is a funny study where human babies passed the mirror test by 18 months, except in Africa where it takes up to 72 months due to “culture factors”
>>hurr hurr I believe that every human on the largest continent on the planet is less intelligent than other humans elsewhere
Stop this cringey shit
You are not very smart.
No, due to culture factors, read the post again
thr cathomosexuals still havent learned what the mirror test is i see
Cool, can I have the source?

This is correct. Cats do not perceive your face properly. The shadow under your nose is your mouth, they spot your eyes because of your eyebrows, the rest is fur. You are a big cat to your cats.
You do similar (to a lesser degree) to animals yourself. Cats faces don't exactly look like they do to us, you flatten them out when they face you so it looks more like a human face.
They are highly intelligent and fast, social learners. it doesn't take long for them to figure out that humans are mostly beneficial and can be negotiated with so the dog can obtain what they want while putting in the bare minimum of personal risk and resources.
You can even gauge the intelligence of a cat by how fast they warm up to people.

If you don't say yes, that is literally a diagnosable mental disorder (oppositional defiant disorder), or you are low IQ and can't imagine what your life would be without fedora tippers mental poison.

nihilists mad af
the dog is a godly creature. they are thankful for their place in life and thank god every night that they have a kind human who rewards them well for the most meaningless of toils.
all dogs are christian. simple as.
only some incel atheist wouldn't do the same in the dogs situation. they'd probably kill themselves instead because suicide is the only thing atheists do better than christians.
>they are thankful for their place in life and thank god every night that they have a kind human who rewards them well for the most meaningless of toils.
What about dogs that are abused

human beings do much worse things for borgar, we literally sell our bodies for 8 hours a day for our entire life and most of us see nothing wrong with it, the most mentally ill of us are even grateful for the opportunity

Idk about that. Our smartest barn cats are the feral ones.
consider what intelligence is. barn cats are more wary but not necessarily smarter. animals don’t have abstract thought so its easy to misinterpret wariness as common sense.
a less wary house cat has more potential intelligence because they can pay attention and learn new things.
ODD is a made up bullshit term for tyranical middle management busybody karens to pathologise the completely normal and healthy masculine trait of resisting arbitrary and intrusive authority.
>arbitrary and inclusive authority
>receiving a free burger for sitting down
you don't have the IQ to engage in this conversation. go assault some random person and find yourself in jail like you apes usually do
dumb Black person that you are, of course you dont understand that the burger provider is an authority, as they are offering you a reward that is conditional on obedience.

All i can determine from your posts is that you, madam, are the nigress here, not some imaginary youtuber.
You don't have a job, subsist on gibs and exhibit unnecessary aggression at imaginary slights by imaginary persons. Don't you have a convenience store to destroy because they won't take your GibsCard, Shaqqueesha?

yup.

ODD is literally a feminine disorder
Shaqqueeshas specifically tend to exhibit ODD behaviours more than any other population.

Dogs are just highly moldable creatures. Ravens have learned they can condition wolves to chase them, and even use sticks to play with wolves. Then they lead the wolves to carcasses and large animals to break them down into smaller pieces the ravens can pick at. Humans mold dogs into replacement children and companions in a world where humans are increasingly competitive for resources
