This is just dumb. Of course cows use tools. There's a small dairy farm near where I live, that has an automatic milking station in one end of the barn. Whenever one of the cows feels like their udder is too full, they just walk into the station, and it clips onto them and starts milking.
They aren't stupid. They know what it is, and what it does...and they use it. Consciously.
That’s not the same thing lol
Yeah, everyone knows intelligence is measured by how good the subject is at actions requiring thumbs
You didn’t read the article. I would pump your breaks before I embarrass you lol.
I think your efforts would be better spent reading what you’re replying to so you don’t embarrass yourself further
Nope, I'm suggesting that’s what you should do lmao 🤣
Confidently wrong, that seems about right. you know this is a science sub right? If I was a mod here I would remove about half of your comments for being belligerent and argumentative. This isn't even about your opinion, you're just making this comment section hostile and unwelcome to discourse.
If you actually wanted to have a discussion it would be different.
