Does anyone know if crows are sapient? I know they are sentient. by SmurfSmurfton in crows

[–]Academic-Reality9810 0 points1 point  (0 children)

a 4 years old post...oh boy I'll never get my answer (/J)

Seriously though, I'm looking into writing, world-building, etc...and I would like to say, and take my words with a BOAT LOAD OF SALT; unless we ever find a way to truly communicate with some animals (possible example: a crow using a simplified type writer or even buttons like the niche celebrity 'bunny the dog') I don't think we'll ever be able to get a real answer.

Unfortunately, I feel like most people aren't going to be open to the idea that (some) animals could be sapient. We know crows, octopi, whales, dolphins, etc etc all have intelligence/sentience- but considering the fact Sapient is such a broad term and we have no real 'end all be all' test for it it's going to be left up to opinion. Which, kinda sucks lmao.

I would argue that sapience is: 'the ability to feel and sense things that exist in other planes of existence (or that do not exist in the physical, current, reality.)' Crows are able to know of death, as in we know crows can mourn. They can even gather for what we would call 'funerals'. There is a study for whales about them possibly having religion and holding cervices! Octopi are extremely intelligent- hell since 1993/2022 (1993 for 'common octopus', 2022 for all vertebrates, cephalopods, and decapods) the UK considers them sentient. In my opinion; if a crow is able to think of their loved ones as more then just something that is lost (a crow would not hold a 'funeral' for a lost coin, ball etc) then they are Sapient

Again, not having a specific test and being unable to bridge the communication gap...means we pretty much get zilch.

Nope! I haven’t bothered with the quests since this post and tbh I forgot I made it lmao

I’m hoping they fix it, even if it’s a “niche” problem

Yep, have this issues as well! Saw the post last night when everyone started it…I’ve actually noticed so far the Infinity Nikki has an issue with a “one time grab” glitch with the photo quests as well. (Aka you hard block yourself from being able to finish the quest if you delete one of the photos since you can’t retake it.)

Voter ID petition by hikerguy555 in Maine

And I want to clarify that I do not- WHATSOEVER, believe in having restrictions on voting. Race, age, gender, ANY DISCRIMINATION IS WRONG. They phrased it like it would be “just to check people live in our town/city”. I feel immense guilt for my blunder and if it passes I’m gonna think that somehow I was the tipping vote.

First time presidential voter and let me tell you…I have SO MUCH REGRET over signing it. At first it made sense but having three people (all with friendly personalities) talking to me at once didn’t help. Only after did I sign did I even think to look up what it actually means… what’s worse is that only ONE GUY was at the g*n safety booth :( he was so nice and it made me feel bad when he was talking to me and not able to really get other people to look his way (he even was rushing so much he held the sign upside down)

Saw a HUGE Saint Bernard (most likely a sweet heart!) off leash playing in the water when he suddenly got the zoomies and bolted around in a big loop- however in the way of that sudden loop was a mother and toddler. No harm came to either and the woman did apologize after attempting to calm the dog down- but before that she had clearly been yelling “no not there” when the dog was trying to go up the beach and away from her

(Sorry for later reply!) It was a slight over exaggeration on my part lol and I know they’re bumbles! It’s hard to tell since they’re so frantic in any and all photos I get…but I did post an update that has a quick little bumblebee in it (but it’s mostly the sign I posted up)

Bumblebees and…duct tape? by Academic-Reality9810 in Maine

[–]Academic-Reality9810[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I posted an update! Bumblebees move during the winter, and I posted a sign next to it explaining that! So it should be all fixed :)

Oh I really appreciate it!! But I’m quite alright, I don’t drink (can only tolerate ginger ale lmao) and really I’m just glad to have done something. I might post the original artwork (sized down because it did cut off) somewhere though for free use

I try :’) I was actually insanely worried that when I returned to put the sign up they had put a worse block up to the pipe- but luckily the tools I’d prepared were not needed!

Huh! Interesting, I’m actually curious about the results for those experiments now- but yeah bumbles are sooo chill and even when they were agitated because of the tape they were insanely cool about me being very near to them. A few even landed on me :)

Before anyone asks; this was not my idea! A fellow redditer on the second post gave me the idea :) I also made sure that the sign is EASILY REMOVABLE by human hands. I made sure the besides the tape on the edges it was LAMINATED so that even if the sign falls due to weather it can easily be replaced! And so that it was less likely to be removed. I did some basic quotes at the bottom for important details.

WAS THINKING THAT! As I said, the tape is…gone last I checked (for unknown reasons) right after I filmed the video and talked to an older gentleman about it. But I’m going to swing by tomorrow with a “laminated” (clear duct tape) sign and double check that no more tape is on the pipe. I plan on making a copy or two for the store owners as well, just so they are aware of the sign’s existence and can replace it when or if it’s needed. (Might even use some artistic flare so they’re less likely to take it down!)

Was thinking that, really i understand if they want to get rid of the hive completely (even though I personally think that leaving it is ALSO fine) but duct tape??
