There was a thread a {couple years back|don't read the comments lmao} about a study in behavior differences between dog breeds. The behaviors that actually reliably differ by breed are:

  • Retrieves objects

  • Howls

  • Avoids getting wet

  • Points

Which notably doesn't include whatever people keep saying about pitbulls.

we've got three dogs and two immediately jump in a body of water they see and the other goes on pee strike if it's so much as drizzling outside

I have a husky who hates water. Think it's a survival instinct where water means freezing to death. Also, double coat means they hold a ton of water

What's that formatting with {|}? First time I'm seeing it. Is there a name for it? Doesn't look like superscript.

AFAIK it's a very recently implemented feature and as I understand it it's derived from a Japanese script style convention for annotating text with different characters (I think? I'm just inferring from context here).

In Japanese it's called furigana or yomigana, but it's also used for other ideographic/character based scripts where it's apparently called {ルビ | ruby} {characters | fuck 12}

Also look up Stanford, horse breeding and eugenics. Horse and dog breeding are literally where the idea of human eugenics came from.

The book Palo Alto goes into detail about this.
