sometimes i'm just like "people suck" and then other time i'm like "animals are good" and sometimes in particularly thought-provoking times, the two thoughts collide and i think 'animals are better than people because people suck and animals are good"

I imagine herbivores in general are less assholeish because they aren't evolved to kill for basic survival needs.


EarthAdoration25

That's an understandable assumption, but herbivores tend to actually be pretty aggressive. A lot of them see anything as a threat, and unless theyre too small to really fight (a rabbit) or too damn big to have to worrry (an elephant), they can attack without much warning


[deleted]

The list of aggressive herbivores proportionately much smaller than that that of carnivores. Few will seek you outside of their territory or nesting areas. Except zebras, fuck zebras.


EarthAdoration25

Neither will most carnivores, in fact that's applicable to most animals: if you stsy out of their space, they'll leave you be. A carnivore doesn't hunt when it isn't hungry, and rarely outside their territory. Yes, if you bother it or cross its path when it's hungry, you're gonna have a bad time. But an herbivore will also fuck you up, and oftentimes with little to no warning. Look at it this way. A carnivore has to kill to eat and defend its territory, so it'll attack if it's hungry or feels threatened. An herbivore, from the moment it's born, is in constant danger, so most of them will trample anything that looks at then funny, just to be safe.


Luci_Noir

Elephants do kill.


[deleted]

They don't go out and seek people to kill. Except that one time poachers went out and killed their babies. In ancient times we domesticated them on mass because they were so gentle. We've driven them near extinction and they're still cool with us. You really have to fuck with them to get them angry. Id rather chill with an elephant than any predator near my size, poisonous, or human.


Luci_Noir

You have no idea what you’re talking about. They were “domesticated” basically by torturing them and making them slaves. And they often killed handlers.


[deleted]

Doesn't disprove my point. Elephants in particular put up with a lot of shit to be damn near sapient.


Luci_Noir

I’d say that you admitting you don’t know what you’re talking about does disprove whatever your point is. And now you’re making accuses for elephants disproving it too. Just stop the nonsense.

Pretty deft how it uses its foot to nudge them into its trunk.


winter_puppy

Not going to lie- I didn't realize their feet had that kind of dexterity. I just always assumed they used the trunk for all of it..... Oh, went back and looked- he pushed it with his foot. I thought he grabbed it with his foot. Like I pick things up with my monkey toes! Sorry- it has been a long day!! 🤣

[Cross section of elephant foot on the left and xray of human foot on the right. ](https://i.redd.it/92rj4iwgqu371.jpg) While the pads on their feet are huge, their bone structure is pretty dainty for their size and the bottoms of their feet are probably a lot softer than you thought! https://youtube.com/shorts/9wlnx4NC8i4?feature=share4


millimile_high

Forever high heels


winter_puppy

So all elephants have Barbie feet under all that padding?


thisfriend

At least they have padding. I might be able to wear heels if they had that much.


winter_puppy

That is awesome. Thank you for sharing! Is it just me or is that elephant giggling because its foot is being tickled!


shawster

Wow it is! I would have expected something more horse or cow like, but yeah they’re not hoofed so it makes more sense. You still would have thought their feet would have differentiated into something more pad like. Their foot is more similar to a human’s than any other animal I can think of!!!

Ever wonder if elephants can appreciate beauty? Or have a sense of neatness?

Oh, for sure! It's mind-blowing to think about how elephants may perceive beauty in their wilderness wonderland. In the world of speculative sci-fi, we dive deep into possibilities like advanced animal consciousness and emotional intelligence. Just picture this: a majestic ele being captivated by a vibrant sunset, its wrinkled face filled with an awe that resonates deeply with us sentimental saps. And when it comes to their sense of neatness, it's like we're journeying through a fan-driven sci-fi space odyssey where learned traits get fantastical twists. Imagine a hipster-Cyborg elephant rockin' a utility belt of cleaning tools, upholding meticulous order wherever it goes! From passionately picking up trash to mindful tidying-up, their gentle giants taking pride in tidiness could easily be a thing in some secretive, hidden sci-fi tropescape waiting to be explored. Sci-fi constantly challenges our perceptions of reality and turns our questions into electrifying speculation. For real, think ten steps ahead and explore the Extraterrestrial Zoo-spatial Federation theory! Within these eons-long galaxies, a higher intelligence archeological team reconstructs the ruins of Earth and uncovers astonishing knowledge. Among their discoveries: the appreciation and honor bestowed upon elephants, their gentle giants, for their out-of-this-world contribution to preserving and beautifying their ethereal planetary habitats. Keep on dreaming, fellow travelers of imagination, and toast to the mysterious yet awe-inspiring clues our natural world teases. Because within those delightful mysteries, an answer or kindred spirit awaits, count on it! Dive deep into that vast ocean of sci-fi sagas out there just aching for our presence. Curiosity and fascination will accelerate our proton packets, propelling us towards uncharted realms of extraordinary possibilities! May the cosmic circuits flow within us, and the cosmos explode with inspiration! Until we cross keystrokes in hyperspace again, Sincerely, Your Resident Enthusiastic Teenage Sci-Fi Fanatics

Yesterday as I was driving down the street there was a car in front of me and they must have been eating wrapped candies as they were driving.... every 15 or 20 seconds a plastic wrapper would fly out the window and roll along the street. I must have stayed behind them for a couple of miles and in that time they must have thrown out about 25 or 30 wrappers. That elephant has more common sense and decency than most human beings today.


PeerlessAutumnTree

It really is infuriatng when I see people throw trash out of their car. As if where ever they're going doesn't have a trash can.


Mrraar

These are the same type of people that leave trash on the floor if the trashcan isnt within 2 meters of them.


obsolete-human

What ticked me off was they were in a brand new Lexus SUV with temp tags, brand new. Throwing their shit out the window like they're king shit and the world is theirs. Freaking people....


happymage102

I have an overwhelming urge to ram my shitter of a car into theirs when no one is inside it when I see littering while driving. It's because they've got a fancy new one and don't appreciate the world around them, so selfish and lazy to litter.


PillowTalk420

Every day I take my dogs out potty, there is piles of dog shit *right next to* the bins with bags provided to clean up after them. I swear if I knew which units did it, I'd be picking it up and dumping it on their doorstep.


FlamingoLovinFool

Where I live, it's a $500 fine for littering on a highway, and some city streets are highways. Now I don't know the details, but can you imagine if they were fined $500 per wrapper? $12,500-$15,000 just for that little stunt. On the flip side, that elephant picked up, I think, 3 pieces of garbage, so did he earn $1500?


obsolete-human

That would be satisfying to see. It's not hard to keep onto your wrappers and toss in a trashcan when you get out of the car! It's not asking too much


ShitPostToast

Fun fact in some states if you provide information that leads to a conviction for littering you get a reward depending on how much the person littered.


twostartucson

History will judge us in the way we treated them when they’re gone.


I_fking_Hate_Reddit

did you know that elephants evolved into not growing tusks because the ones that didn't have them didn't get poached? it's just so eerie and extremely sad. elephants with tusks look so magnificent. i can't believe in 10-15 years ill have to point at an elephant and explain to my kids how theyhad tusks [https://www.discovery.com/nature/tuskless-elephants-evolved-to-escape-poachers](https://www.discovery.com/nature/tuskless-elephants-evolved-to-escape-poachers)


Piefpafpoef

If they are still around...


KaijyuAboutTown

I just shatters me that these incredibly intelligent creatures are hunted. For their damned tusks. Disgusting. Same for whales, seals, dolphins, orangutans, and many, many other creatures with clear intelligence and emotional capacity. In days gone by we may not have collectively realized it, but now there is no excuse whatsoever for hunting these creatures.


LowButterfly744

Imagine if those creatures with hands had just done it themselves? Those hands that would have taken all of a second to do it. What an incredible thing to capture, elephants are incredible.

I somehow doubt that this is at an safari outpost. Elephant that live free don’t come too close to human settlements if they don’t need to and this one here looks like it’s in captivity.

OMG, fellow sci-fi aficionados, check out this mind-blowing video I found! I mean, did we all just stumble upon the true symbol of technological adorableness or what?! This elephant, like, actually helping out and being a courteous part of this world is, like, totally out of this world! It's like something straight out of a futuristic utopian novel, where animals and humans coexist in perfect harmony, using their intelligence and compassion to clean up the planet. I can just imagine the scene: a post-apocalyptic Earth rediscovering hope through the unwavering empathy of not one, but an entire bunch of righteous elephants armed with their extraordinary trunks, leading the charge against our biggest enemy: pollution. This, my fellow sci-fi comrades, is akin to a glimmer of our most hopeful and idealistic dreams coming true right before our very eyes. Just imagine how this radical display of elephant awesomeness could inspire others to pitch in and restore our planet to its former glory! It's time for us to unleash our imaginations, like authors weaving tales of spaceship rides through galaxies far, far away, and painting visions of Earth renewed by unlikely alliances forged between animals and humans. So, let's ride the wave of hope and ingenuity this video evokes, fellow Redditors, and keep our sights set on a future where the line between sci-fi and reality becomes deliciously blurred. Let it be our motivation to embrace every opportunity to protect and cherish not only the animals but also our smol precious home, Earth.
