Top Comments of this video!! :3
I had a Dachshund who went blind. He could find his way from across the street, through the yard, right to the back yard gate. He'd take a few steps, tilt his head, reorient himself, take more steps, repeating the process. One day the two water fountains in the front and side yards were not running. Instead of finding his way, he walked in circles, completely lost and confused. I realized then, he used the sound of the fountains to triangulate his path to the gate.
My mind is still blown by watching this little dog do more complicated math, in his head, than I can without a calculator.

A note about flies: they also sense changes in air pressure extremely well which is why a lattice-like object that allows air to flow through it, such as a swatter, can reliably hit flies when swung fast but a solid, flat object like an open palm is telegraphed from a fly-mile away. coincidentally an object moving slower creates less of a disturbance in air pressure.

I'm not convinced that the frequency of sound would be different to dogs or other animals. Unlike computers, we actually have different parts of our cochleas that are sensitive to different frequencies. So I think the pitch of our voices would remain the same for dogs, but it would just seem that we're talking more slowly.

I have a degree in neuroscience & physiology and have studied animal physiology, and have never heard an insects' lungless respiratory system referred to as a consequence of their flicker fusion frequency. This feels like when I accidentally wound up in computational neurobiology as a sophomore with senior engineers who were being given an intro to neuro in the hopes of working on the computing side of medical research, and me chiming in with my accurate but slightly different physiological perspective of only two years into neuro. I love and live for interdisciplinary work and am jiving with this content.

9:00 him giving his duck little scratches while it laid on it's back and kicked it's little webbed feet was the cutest thing I've seen all week! Adorable!!! 🦆🦆🦆

12:34 with the amount of times I’ve rewinded just to be able to process everything he’s saying, seemingly so quickly, has helped me to understand one thing:
I am slow.

12:19 the baby elephant using his trunk to rub his eye is frickin' adorable!

I had once hypothesized that this is the reason it's so hard to smack a fly when it lands on you, it's living so fast you're moving in slow motion. I sort of tested it when I discovered that if you move slow enough they can't see it until you get in strike range. So slow it appears to them that you aren't moving at all. I wrote this comment before he talked about flys.

I can tell you as someone who has experienced many dangerous and life threatening situations. Humans have the ability to slow time. I have perceived time many times slower than normal allowing me to make decisions and take actions I should not have had time for. Very much like the Matrix. Your video has helped understand something I have known, for a long time. I finally can explain to all the people who told me I was imagining it, or I was lieing.

This is crazy. To think I've lived 32 years without ever realizing that dogs constantly hear a piano playing in their heads.
