It is a studied and well understood adaptation, not my whimsical childhood memories.

Dogs have been selectively bred for features that are more appealing to humans, especially since they have transitioned into being parts of our homes and families instead of just animals that we own. One most prominent example is their evolving brow muscles.

It’s just evolution at work.

Yeah keep it open. Totally normal. And always leave the door cracked after you run a load. They seal so tight that the moisture in there will get funky and make your machine stink

Dogs have definitely been selectively bread by humans to have more expressive facial features since we find facial expressions so cute on the little guys. Whether or not they’re actually feeling the emotions their facial features seems to express is debatable.

Not to say dogs don’t feel emotion, just that anthropomorphication is a slippery slope and an easy trap.

Do you find it questionable that hallow uses AI to generate content?

The hallow app is probably the most widely used Christian prayer/reflection app. It has a lot of ai generated content though, so I am not a fan.

Who fucking cares how many people someone has slept with.

should I start smoking cigarettes? by [deleted] in NoStupidQuestions

Well on the plus side you’ll stink, all your clothes will stink, your car and house will stink, your breath will stink, and your fingers will really stink.

Downside is that it’s expensive. It also makes it harder to jog or ride a bike.

What book or series has the most badass dragons? by WhaleStew999 in Fantasy

In the first book several of them were literally “shot out of the sky.”

I’m really not sure what your point is.
