I get that you need sponsors, but can you REALLY not choose them more carefully? Three weeks? You couldn't undermine your own credibility as a SCIENCE channel more completely if you tried. If you want to push such absolutely stupid sponsors, forget science content and make videos of drunk people trying to walk a tightrope over vats of prank-store skunk oil. Then maybe your audience won't care that your sponsors target people with IQs under 80.

The fact that cephalopods dream about being chased by predators means they can recreate frightening/threatening situations in their minds, which means cephalopods might get anxiety just like us

@filonin2 Місяць тому

Anxiety is a basic survival drive. I'd wager much simpler things than a cephalopod can feel anxious. Anxiousness keeps you on edge which means you react faster to threats, and thereby live and reproduce. So think of it this way; your crippling anxiety might be a survival advantage passed down for millions of years. The dudes who were chill got ate.

That’s probably the genuine truth. Poor guys get stressed extremely easily, even with enrichment and toys. Thats why they don’t live too long in captivity. You’re lucky to get a year out of a giant pacific for instance, we got 6 months out of our last one before she got stressed and passed.

@Gamesaucer Місяць тому

Getting chased by a monster _can_ be a nightmare but it doesn't _have_ to be. It can also be about tricking and outsmarting that monster, and then feeling good about yourself when you trap it or slip away. So I hope that cephalopods have dreams like that as well: cool dreams where they slip in between all their enemies like a ninja and emerge victorious.

@HermanVonPetri Місяць тому

Well, you know how that will go. Just as soon as they get close to their goal the dream will throw obstacles in their way, they'll start moving in slow motion, and then wake up.

Not always. It is possible to "dream train" if you are having repetitive nightmares. I had one for YEARS about a mountain lion.

@massimookissed1023 Місяць тому

When we sleep, our brains release a chemical that inhibits muscle movement. I've seen footage of kittens injected with a chemical that blocks that muscle inhibitor, and when they were dreaming they were standing up trying to catch imagined things in the air. Also, these kittens were born and raised indoors, and had never encountered aerial prey, so they were acting out instinctive hunting techniques.

The only food my cat didn't like was canned cat food. I tried all the brands. He clearly hated it. He liked the crunchy dry kibble stuff. I used a feeder that would give him all he wanted and he never gained weight in the form of fat so I don't think food supply was an issue. Opening the catnip container would be a different matter.

@00101001000000110011 Місяць тому

well you can start by waking the furball up when you notice it is having a nightmare. they will likely be a bit confused first, but eventually, if they are smart, they might actually come to feel thankful and appreciative of you stopping the bad dream and comforting them after before they go to sleep again resting in the tranquillity that their best furless giant friend is there to look out for them when they are at their most vulnerable.

@horseenthusiast1250 Місяць тому

I'm convinced cats have nightmares, too. My Beastie (a thoroughly pampered indoor cat whose worst life experiences are probably having a leg amputated, being in some earthquakes, and being watched by chickens, which freak her out) sometimes moves in her sleep. Usually she's just twitching her whiskers, paws, her left back hip (where her leg was amputated; she has pretty intense phantom limb), and nose, and meowing a little in her sleep (as she's gotten older she's also statted making the cutest little grumbles). But sometimes she'll be asleep, twitching her paws and hip, and her tail will start twitching and she'll start hissing and growling. She NEVER hisses or growls when she's awake unless she smells dogs or sees and smells another cat. She'll often also yowl and cry when she has those types of dreams. If I'm around, I usually wake her up, and she looks very confused and scared whenever I do, and poofs all her fur out, but then starts rubbing my hand or otherwise asking for cuddles (if I wake her from regular sleep, she kinda looks at me like "hhwhhat? Oh it's you. How's it" and then goes right back to ignoring me). I'm not sure what her nightmares might be about, but I hope for her sake it's not the vet. Hopefully it's something more manageable, like big scary chickens (nobody tell her that half her food is made of chickens! Though...that is the flavour she refuses to eat...🤔)

@adventurerben9006 24 дні тому

I think that’s been called the Tetris effect, or something along those lines. Essentially, performing monotonous, simple, and/or extremely repetitive tasks for extremely long periods can cause you to start associating or thinking about those tasks, or elements of those tasks, in relation to other subjects of focus. It was called the Tetris effect because, to my understanding, the phenomenon is most obvious when it occurred in response to video games, particularly Tetris, presumably because video games have much less similarity to more ‘real’ activities, so noticing the shapes of Tetris pieces in square grids, or organising your groceries on the kitchen counter in a way that causes all of them to fit together geometrically before putting them away is much more obvious than something like driving to work out of habit on your day off. I thank that’s how it works and what it’s called anyway, I’m going largely from memory when writing this comment.

My kitten is just shy of 6 months old, and when she was under, say, 14 weeks old I would occassionally see her suckle in her sleep. She stopped doing that until very recently, where my mom spotted her suckling in her sleep. It's not much to guess that she's dreaming about her mom. Another cat we had had a period where she was having nightmares(age 9 or 10), growling and waking up hissing. I don't know what caused it, but it stopped after some months. She was weird too, where she would sleep very deeply without moving for hours (scary since she was 12+ at the time) where even shaking her wouldn't wake her. Vet didn't have many answers but it didn't seem to impact her health, and she made it another 5 years until CKD took her.

I don't THINK this was a dream, but your mention of "but neither of us speak French" - this happened to me back in August 1989. Anecdotal as it is it's still always fascinated me as to "WTF was my brain even doing?!" My first summer in Mississippi was, let's say, rough: I was used to desert heat, not swamp humidity, and I honestly thought I was gonna die in those first months (we arrived in June). So I'm laying on the couch just suffering, my mother comes into the room to ask me something. I look up, answer her, and every single word came out of my mouth twice. Like some kind of trippy echo effect! She looked at me, I looked at her, and she turned around and left the room. We never, ever spoke of it again, heh. And it's entirely possible I dreamed ALL of that, so vividly that it seems like a real event. Which apparently isn't uncommon in humans? Just one of the weirdest language and dream related things I've got in my memories!

I think that I know what my dog dreams about. He never had nightmares until a while ago. Now he has nightmares at least once a week. He cries out, sometimes barks, his breathing becomes fast. He moves his legs as if he is running. He is really frightened. What triggered this seems to have been an incident when I was walking him in a local park. Two teenagers arrived on electric scooters, and seeing that my dog was running free, they decided that it would be fun to chase him. He was terrified, as you can imagine, and since then, he has gotten nightmares. Thankfully, he came to me for protection when I called to him. He seems to be reliving in his nightmare what has probably been the most distressing incident in his life.

J. R. R. Tolkien answered that question to my satisfaction in his poem, Cat. The fat cat on the mat may seem to dream of nice mice that suffice for him, or cream; but he free, maybe, walks in thought unbowed, proud, where loud roared and fought his kin, lean and slim, or deep in den in the East feasted on beasts and tender men. The giant lion with iron claw in paw, and huge ruthless tooth in gory jaw; the pard* dark-starred, fleet upon feet, that oft soft from aloft leaps on his meat where woods loom in gloom-- far now they be, fierce and free, and tamed is he; but fat cat on the mat kept as a pet, he does not forget. * "Pard* can be either an archaic term for leopard, or a cat-like animal from medieval manuscript marginalia.
