  • I laughed. Good one.

    Fucking stupid beaver :

    When the sound of running water was played for them through a loudspeaker on concrete, the beavers still built their dam over the dry floor. Even when presented with a clear pipe that showed water (silently) escaping through their dam and a speaker that played them the sound of running water, they chose to build over the speaker and ignore the clearly visible leak.

    • Instincts are so weird. And it's not just animals that do stupid shit based on instinct, or rather it's not just non-human animals; humans have tons of occasionally counterproductive instincts / cognitive biases too.
