Accidentally unpinned my classic install vid so till I find it here's some of the thing when it was like, in action. Not just the gore & guts 😆
Study I would love to see: If their brains activate similar patterns to ours when possessing* a vehicle. Or if the pattern's closer to operating a mechanical system. Or something wholy new
🐀 Des rats ont appris à conduire. Certains choisissaient même la voiture alors que le chemin à pied était plus court.
À l’université de Richmond, aux États-Unis, des chercheurs ont entraîné des rats à piloter de petites voitures électriques. Progressivement, ils ont appris à actionner les commandes et à rejoindre une destination pour obtenir une friandise.
L’équipe leur a ensuite proposé un choix entre marcher directement jusqu’à la nourriture ou faire un détour pour prendre la voiture. Sur les trois rats testés, deux ont choisi le trajet au volant.
Pour la neuroscientifique Kelly Lambert, cette observation suggère que conduire pouvait les attirer au-delà de la récompense alimentaire. Un résultat limité à quelques animaux, mais qui donne envie de poser la question : on sous-estime à quel point les rats sont intelligents ?
(*Like when driving a car. Let's say someone drives through a red light and barely misses 'You'... vs barely misses 'Your Car'. That particular sense of extended Self.)

Kiwi chicks first night out, still a little unsteady but this was filmed a week ago. Dad hatched 2 chicks 2 weeks apart and dad is still fussing over the younger one. This is on my neighbours place.

At least once I month I remember my visual field is finite but feels edgeless. This is both insane and a completely unremarkable fact of experience.

Downtown #Pittsburgh sure looked eerie this morning as fog rolled down the rivers. For a few hours the Allegheny River was almost completely clear before the really heavy fog came in, which made for some amazing scenes from Mt. Washington

103 million birds crossed Wisconsin last night.
This is what that looks like on radar. Those rings are not rain. They are birds, lifting off after dark and peaking just before midnight.
Tonight the wave moves east. 270 million on the move, the heaviest over Michigan, Ohio, Pennsylvania and western New York.
Lights out dusk to dawn. Lights pull them off course.
