I don't see how this is philosophical. One is an instinct, which is passed down genetically, and the other is knowledge, gained through experience. They are two distinct processes.

In one of the languages I know, there isn't a different pronoun for each gender; there's just one pronoun to indicate 'they' in the singular form. Maybe that's what they meant.
That's exactly how I read it first, too.
It makes sense. Lemmy is mostly leftist nerds. And that's StarTrek in a nutshell.
When a Kal-Toh player does birding.
Nah, I took an easy way out by just being stupid.
"Time traveling sideways" is a genuinely interesting way of calling "traveling between parallel universes".
What city is that?
I'm aware of Android capabilities, I've used Android phones since Gingerbread and have several tablets. I'm not saying iPad is "the best" for all use cases, but app availability is still much better on iPadOS. Android has been steadily catching up though.
I know that this is Fedi and "Apple bad", but iPads are great devices and if you get older versions second-hand they are usually worth the price. And since Apple is being forced into making these devices more open, they get better and better.
Yeah, there are several RPG-fied Sims spinoffs, like Bustin' Out and Urbz. But I manage to play the classical Sims games as RPGs, too.
I agree, research confirms that intra-species communication between animals and plants is real, though the term "communication" often does a lot of heavy-lifting in those studies. And while it's possible that goats have some built-in pheromone message encoder for transmitting complex ideas, such as "Daaandelion = helth", which we simply have not yet discovered, it is unlikely. At best, goats can demonstrate to other goats what to eat by example. However, even a solitary goat on a farm, one that has never seen other goats, will instinctively seek out specific plants when it's deficient in certain nutrients. It doesn't require a huge leap of faith to assume that this behavior extends to medicinal plants as well.
In other words, the goat doesn't know that it needs to eat a certain plant; it feels like it needs to eat a certain plant.
This principle even applies to humans, as babies will often eat dirt if they have a calcium deficiency. Clearly, they were never taught to do this, neither by adults (hopefully) nor by other babies.
