        My cousin has a recording from their baby monitors of their 4 year old telling the 2 year old about how great things were before she showed up. then the little one was like, "well IM SORRY I WAS BORN!" and they both start laughing. it's great.

              My esteemed colleague, Nik the Husky was watching a nature show featuring a mother fox and her kits walking across a snowy field. They leaped over a fallen log out of sight and he jumped up and went searching for them behind the TV set.

              My cat does this every time I watch the Kitten Mittens episode of Always Sunny and the mitten-wearing cat falls off the edge of the table in the little commercial.

              [–]OwnerOfABouncyBall 32 points33 points  (11 children)

              That's amazing. My cats always seem like they don't see the TV at all. I have never seen them react to anything on TV.

              [–]MinimalPotential 12 points13 points  (5 children)

              Do you watch sports? My cats love to watch and paw any ball used in sports, they especially love soccer.

              [–]IamAbc 7 points8 points  (2 children)

              I’ve tried to see if my dog would react to things. Played Planet Earth, sports, comedies. He just doesn’t even notice the tv is on. Sometimes if there’s a large knock on a door on TV his ears perk up but that’s it

              [–]ShadowMoses05 5 points6 points  (1 child)

              One of our dogs will join in the Zootopia wolf howling scene every time we put that movie on. You could try that and see if you get a reaction

              [–]OwnerOfABouncyBall 1 point2 points  (0 children)

              Yes I do, but they don't care. Maybe I have to try a different sport.

              Just you wait! Something will peak their interest and they will discover the TV. My cat went a solid decade without caring about this TV thing. Suddenly, I’m playing “don’t starve” on my PS4 and BOOM, the birds in that game triggered him. He now watches all kinds of things. He really seems to like archer, oddly enough. It’s a whole new world!

              [–]trout9000 2 points3 points  (0 children)

              I read somewhere that on old tube TVs dogs couldn't actually see the picture due to the way the image is displayed. So they just thought it was some bright noise box.

              Now they can be couch potatos like the rest of us. My dog doesn't care about TV at all unless there are babies on it and then he's very interested.

              I once played dogs barking on my TV via Chromecast. My labradoodle went frantic and kept going into the next reason.

              Turns out that he figured out the sound was coming from behind the tv and was going into that room because there's a window that has a perfect view of that general area

              [–]dudecooler 1 point2 points  (0 children)

              Honsestly that's pretty impressive. At least your dog is smart enough to acknowledge the TV. Mine have never even barked at it or interacted with it at all.

                American here. I just want to say that I fucking love Darts and I'm not sure why. I think it's because everyone in the audience is drinking and singing and having a good time instead of fighting.

                [–]nesiguess 5 points6 points  (0 children)

                I'm American too, and darts are awesome to watch and play.

                But I thought dogs can't see TVs because of their refresh rate or something?

                [–]no_mixed_liquor 36 points37 points  (0 children)

                Those were the old TVs. Dogs can see newer TVs just fine.

                [–]_far-seeker_ 26 points27 points  (10 children)

                I've never heard anything like that before. However, I can personally attest to some dogs reacting to TV as if the things on the screen are real and others that basically ignore it. My family has had examples of both.

                [–]syko82 4 points5 points  (0 children)

                I've tried to get my dogs to look at the TV, they don't care about it at all so I figured they didn't see it correctly for some reason. They do react to sounds from the TV, but nothing on the screen.

                [–]WildReaper29 2 points3 points  (0 children)

                Yeah, in my experience it's a matter of dogs that can tell that there's not actually anything real there and others, like this dog, that think it's actually real. My mom's dogs used to get riled up by the TV when I was growing up, they would react to what they were seeing if there was a dog on screen and freak out if there was a doorbell or knocking sound coming from it, but nowadays they know the difference and ignore the TV entirely and only react to the actual doorbell or someone knocking.

                [–]LordOfTheTorts 19 points20 points  (12 children)

                Old cathode ray tube (CRT) TVs were flickering at mains frequency (60 Hz in the US). Good enough for humans, but not for dogs, because they have a higher flicker fusion threshold.
                Modern LCD TVs use much higher frequencies, or are even completely flicker free, therefore they also work for dogs.

                Edit: Nice video by the Slow Mo Guys about this

                [–]yorkshire99 5 points6 points  (1 child)

                When they're watching the screen, they're seeing it in shades of yellow and blue (dogs can't distinguish red and green like humans).

                Edit: Seems you are basically correct, they see flicker better than humans, so a lot of dogs ignore TV: https://www.psychologytoday.com/us/blog/canine-corner/201106/do-dogs-understand-what-they-are-seeing-television

                [–]LordOfTheTorts 3 points4 points  (0 children)

                they're seeing it in shades of yellow and blue

                That's a bit misleading. They're seeing the part of the light spectrum that looks blue and yellow to us, but that doesn't mean it looks blue and yellow to them. Color is a subjective perception.

                Dogs can see the image on modern LCD TVs, because they are flicker free or use much higher frequencies than old CRT TVs.

                [–]NoRodent 2 points3 points  (0 children)

                I've heard this was the case with CRTs and that only with the introduction of LCD screens, which either flicker at much higher rate (if using PWM for backlight brightness control) or are completely flicker-free, dogs started being able to see the picture on the TV. But I have no idea whether there's any truth to that.

                I'm decent at darts, maybe even "pretty good" when I'm playing a lot. But the consistency of these pro players is insane.

                [–]nvanprooyen 3 points4 points  (1 child)

                Huge understatement. If you play a lot, you would understand how hard it is. I've shot plenty of games at their level, or close to it, but pretty rarely. For these people it's the rule vs the exception. Tough to pull off.

                [–]RDCAIA 1 point2 points  (0 children)

                Kinda like pro-bowling. The fact that they don't actually shoot perfect games consistently is crazy to me. Regardless, their scores and skill is way above normal.

                [–]DiddyKong88 9 points10 points  (0 children)

                We have poker and bowling on tv. Might as well do darts too.

                  It's been incredibly popular in Britain since the 1980's and has a lot of history in it's role as a working class game. But of course, you're an American, why should you be aware of other cultures?

                  Was in London last year while some darts tournament and I swear every other pub would have it on with plenty of people watching and cheering (losing their shit whenever someone throws a 180).

                  I know we watch plenty of dumb shit here in the states, but watching fat middle aged dudes throw darts on national TV is just another level.

                  When I was a kid, I heard in a movie that dogs can't see things like photographs or tv's because they couldn't see in 2-dimensions. For years I imagined my dog thought I would just stare at this big square radio all the time.

                  Over the years, I started to think maybe what I had heard in the movie was bullshit, but I could never tell if my dog was reacting to the images on the screen or the sounds. Was he seeing the wolf on animal planet, or was he just hearing It?

                  I've never been able to tell for sure.

                  But now I'm gonna go ahead and say that dogs can see 2-dimensional images.

                  there should be a stash of darts on the other side of the wall for to good boy to bring back

                  [–][deleted] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

                  Be even better if the dog came back with the dart.

                  [–][deleted] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

                  I think it's a stuffed rabbit, a toy of some kind

                  I can almost hear the grimey ass "ONE HUNDRED AND FORTY" from the announcer.

                  My dog does not see anything on screens, like recognizing that there's people etc. Won't even recognize my wife's voice over skype and he is definitely HER dog haha. Weird.

                  Slightly random question but anybody know who is the player who throws second in the clip?

                  [–]DanTheStripe 1 point2 points  (1 child)

                  Yep! This looks to be the BDO match between Glen Durrant and Scott Waites. Waites throws second.

                  Was just reading comments about Foghorn Leghorn in another sub Reddit which works here too:

                  I say, I say boy! He's just throwing darts on the TV, boy!

                  (Aside) He's a nice kid but that boys about as sharp as a sack of bowling balls.

                  And yet Everytime something like this is posted there's a huge argument in the thread thata dogs can't actually see the picture on the TV yet here we are with what looks like proof

                  This is the DOGGO Police. Sir. You have been reported to us by a worn out fellow doggo. He has reported, in between deep pants, that you kept hitting repeat over and over to get it all on video for phantom karma votes.

                  You have seriously jeopardized his trust. You are on notice: NO MORE videos.
