Comment on Outstanding in her field: cow recorded using tool for first time
Clent@lemmy.dbzer0.com 3 days agoI don’t either believe that they are solving physics equations
If they had language and writing skills is there any doubt they couldn’t.
Thinking other animals are incapable of complex thoughts is so weird. We know that humans only have these abilities because of the momentum of society. Feral humans are proof none of what we do is innate.

Oh yeah, as a wise Adam Savage once said:
That cow in the GIF is screwing around. But if it could have a chat with its cow friends about how that ball is flying and they could write that shit down – and they’d have stable enough of a food supply and no predators – then I 100% believe that they would continue screwing around + writing down, until they’ve figured out a rule for how that ball flies.
And from that point, they would start building trebuchets and take over the world. Cause that’s how things go, appparently…
