The single brain cell variety.

Fun fact. The reason orange cats are dumb is actually not inherent to it being orange!

Turns out it's just that male cats are MUCH more stupid than female cats and orange as a color just so happens to be tied to genes that are unlikely to emerge in female cats.

That means orange cats are more likely to be male, which makes them stupid.

The 19% of orange cats that are female, behave perfectly normal

Don't spread false information. Yes orange cats are more likely to be male. No, orange cats are not less intelligent. I've just researched it.

As a fact? No, orange cats are not less intelligent.

Orange cats just have a single brain cell, and honestly it's pretty impressive what they can do with that.

Male cat are more likely to engage in risky actions though. Male cats will attempt to jump to a further ledge than females will. We don't know why this is entirely

Don't most mammals have males taking greater risks?

Wasn't there a subdeddit called "whywomenlivelonger" full of nothing but the stupid dangerous shit that us men do?

[–] zepheriths@lemmy.world 7 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Unclear. Especially in female dominant mammals it is not known
