Scientists have found that bats collide into each other more often than they thought.
I read this as if the bats had thought they didn’t collide with each other and had a chuckle.

That’s the correct way to read it ;p

Haha, “I don’t know about those other bats, but I feel like I’m pretty good…”

ThT was a wonderful video thank you for sharing. Anyone who wants to just see one bay crash, 5:25 I think it is.

Does anyone have a link to this video that does not force me to watch two 40s pro-israel propaganda videos before it starts?

Sure, just get an adBlocker
blanketswithsmallpox@lemmy.world 11 months ago
For the people who don’t want turn off their adblocker. It just links to youtube anyway.

They aren’t colliding, they’re just giving each other very adorable and very valid flying snuggles!

Wasn’t there a study about the same thing but with bees?

“It’s a messy situation, but generally it’s very safe and it works well,”
Reminds me of the traffic situation in eastern Asia. Huge amounts of cars, scooters etc. mostly ignoring any traffic rules. From an outside perspective it looks like there must be thousands of injuries a day but considering the vast amount of individuals it’s still pretty safe and efficient.

Traffic deaths in Thailand are 60 per 100.000 vehicles. In the Netherlands is 6. It’s 10 times a deadly…
Waluigis_Talking_Buttplug@lemmy.world 11 months ago
It’s 27 in mississippi, so only about twice as deadly.
nBodyProblem@lemmy.world 11 months ago
So 0.6% chance of being a vehicle owner being involved in a fatal accident over a ten year timespan? 0.06% over a single year?
Sounds pretty safe to me.

My Dad has experienced traffic like this. He said having strict rules is often worse because you expect others to follow the rules and then they don’t, people die. There’s a sort of complacency involved with rigid rules.

Complacency and entitlement. Like letting a guy merge into you instead of evading because “well he was supposed to yield!” People will fully crash their car if they think they’re “right”.

Sounds like you mean South &/or Southeast Asia and not East Asia (or perhaps just Asia in general rather than subdividing)? Within Asia, injury/fatality rates seems to increase as you go westward.
