Did they start buying stupidity expensive popcorn?

Cuttlefish complaining for low resolution

I want a video of them trying to get the glasses on and keep in place

Just read an article about giving molly to octopodi. Ever get the impression scientists are just waiting for someone to call them on theirBS

Oh sure! But I want to give pandas just a little bit of LSD and it’s not deemed scientific.

Cuttohfish or vanirra paste?

Do you want Reapers? Because this is how you get Reapers.

Fuck that how did they get a cuttlefish to wear 3D glasses?
Terayon
They at first glued them to them but found they got hurt ripping them off, so they glued velcro onto them and attached the glasses like that
oblimo
Cuttlefish eyes are freaky as fuck. Each eye is dual-focus. Freakier, they don't see color. They see polarization. 1/
oblimo
Let me repeat that: the species with the most sophisticated chameleon ability on the planet CANNOT SEE COLORS.
oblimo
So the fact they can make sense of an illusion designed for humans and their boring rods and cones is god-damned astounding.

WHO THE FUCK IS FUNDING THIS?
FireSolvesProblems
What were they hoping to prove with this?
franknstincmplx
That they need all their grant money again next year.
omh2
Trying to figure out, if/how cuttlefish use stereopsis (convergent vision) to judge depth. Cuttlefish eyes are extremely interesting from
omh2
both an optics perspective & biological/evolutionary perspective, they use vastly different strategies for image processing than vertebrates
Terayon
Yeah, plus their close cousins, squid and octopi, don't/can't use stereopsis, also it's more complicated for them since they have 360 vision
Terayon
Plus it has possible insight into 360 degree image processing and visualization for robotics etc
byronwashington
Why do they have to be "proving" anything? They were expanding knowledge of marine behavior and physiology. Learning how simpler brains...
byronwashington
and eyes work also can help us learn more about how they function in more complex animals.
FireSolvesProblems
Allow me to restate myself, I wonder what their hypothesis was that led to this odd and random experiment?
CountessVonFingerbang
Do cuttlefish have the same type of depth perception humans do? (Experiment found no, they do not.)
atcggcta
How is this useful
darealone1
They were shown videos of ‘How to cook cuttlefish’ and nothing happened and then they saw ‘Cats’. Two of them died, the others in coma
bobstallone
I haven't seen it. But come on. It can't be that bad.

some say it's the worst thing that happened to cats.. since dogs

My friend has tempted me with acid, but I have to see it while on it. Your comment scares me.

It isn't. Good music, though I get why a number of people didn't like the visuals.
NotTinyPancakes
I think it awful cgi aside it's actually all right of you understood the musical and treated it as a musical rather than a movie

Did they die of shock or were they suicides?

Next I wanna see vr headsets put on bears hooked up to flight simulators for science reasons

Jesus, don't do that. Give them a taste of flight and next thing you know bears will be hijacking planes.

How about vr headsets on cows?

Fun fact: This is a gif option when you enter "science"
Terayon
They were seeing if they used stereopsis for depth perception like humans since their cousins, squid and octopi don't
alexstamat
Why not?
OhNoPotato
Possibly to examine whether they perceive space in the same way. Cuttlefish brains are wired in a (from our POV) very weird way.
Terayon
Basically yes, it was done because cuttlefish have independent control over their eyes and can see almost 360 degrees 1/2
Terayon
2/2 so they were trying to see if they still used something called stereopsis like humans for depth perception, since squids/octopi don't
nommon
Are scientists surprised to find that a creature with two eyes has binocular 3D vision?
Terayon
Yes since their eyes are independent and their cousins, squid and octopi, don't/can't use it
CountessVonFingerbang
They were testing to see if they had the same type of stereoptic depth perception that humans do (they do not)
Terayon
Did you read the article? They definitely found that cuttlefish do in fact use stereopsis for depth perception
CountessVonFingerbang
I did read the article. I said the SAME type of stereoptic depth perception as humans. Cuttlefish use it in a different way than humans!
CountessVonFingerbang
(Also I work at the place where this work was done, so I promise I know what I'm talking about).

Same guys that put stilts on ants I bet.

Yep, the good old “Institute for Advanced Dicking Around With Animals”.

Science!

I'm wondering how they got the tiny stilts on those ants.
TheIrish0ne
I’m trying to think about how they got those on and off them... then I realized taking them off probably wasn’t part of the consideration...
parismaker
Daddy-long-legs?
ValorXY7
They also cut half of the leg of other ants, and those ants stopped half way to the food, and colony entrance.
fitlex
They also immediately started calling all the other ants 'antlets'
TheJudgeHasItBackwards
Undergraduate lab assistants?
EpicCookie1212
So guys just remember, if u move a ant by hand they can guaranteed not find there way back

Are you sure you're not thinking of a roomba?
CoachMcgurl
This sounds like something Karl Pilkington would bring up on a podcast.
robertelbmx
and no one would believe him even when it was true, which always got me mad
CoachMcgurl
I think the problem there was that he would take the wrong idea or point of the story.

& now I’m left wondering what the fuck is wrong with scientists & how does one count steps with 6 legs?

Actually pretty much the same as you would with 2. They only have 2 basic movements: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DLczo4N3CPI

Now I just feel bad for a bunch of ants.
Shaftmaster
Have you seen how they cast aluminum structures of the inside of ant colonies? Lol
WreckItRalphTW
You think that's bad? I guess i shouldn't mention my experiments with fireworks and their affect on anthills I did as a child.
igniskonig
usersubbordercontrol
Don't worry they also cut down the legs of ants
MrSpankalot
That doesn't make me feel better you monster.
purdhapley
Would it help knowing that the ants who’s legs they chopped off had a family of 5000 to feed?
hiphopchinashop
This is a dark world. Especially for ants it turns out
TimeFoDat
Must be a specific species of ants. Other ants use scent trails & they're so compelled by them they'll literally walk in circles until death
Arcon157
It's just a joke
TimeFoDat
No it's not: https://www.livescience.com/871-ants-marching-count-steps.html
TimeFoDat
If the trail gets messed up and essentially becomes a loop. There are videos of little ant hurricanes just marching until they expire.
