science

I mean, anybody can comment. I remember back when I regularly used reddit seeing wildy incorrect statements on the science community, and then when I would occasionally correct people on the stuff I actually am an expert on, I'd get downvoted for it, while the original post continued to get upvoted.

People often assume upvotes means they're right. And humans naturally seek social approval and acceptance, so it's not that surprising.

All I'm saying is don't take it personal. It's unfortunate to see stuff like that. But you can't really stop it, and the alternative is censoring them, which I'm not a fan of either bcz they didn't do anything egregious or try to spread misinformation.

Yeah...no. This cow didn't "make" this tool. It just used a tool that was readily available. It didn't modify it in any way, in order to specifically accomplish this task.

THAT is the criteria for advanced tool use.

What this cow is doing, is extremely common in nature. It's found something in its environment that is useful. It's literally using a stick to scratch an itch. That's even less evolved than a bird building a nest, or ants digging a network of tunnels.
