Smart enough to get in and get out before they have to put up with this shit for too long.

[–] Kolanaki@pawb.social 18 points 1 month ago (3 children)

What shit? It's not like they have to work.

That's racist, are you calling all cephalopods lazy?

Living is work.

I'd be surprise if the current president could pass it.

[–] homesweethomeMrL@lemmy.world 11 points 1 month ago

Somewhere else in the news today he's bragging about having passed it. Again. He's so proud. Seriously, like just a couple hours ago.

PS: why are there political comments everywhere including on a science post like this ? Please stop, not everything has to be political.

How young a child? My cactus could outthink any newborn.

[–] Zagorath@aussie.zone 4 points 1 month ago

Turns out they basically did the marshmallow test. So we're talking toddlers.

Well, human children are fucking stupid. (A community that has no pendant in the fediverse, it seems)
