Plenty of humans are smart enough to create social media accounts but are completely incapable of stringing together a coherent thought.

So you're saying dogs are astroturfing?!

It's absolutely OK for a dog to ask for help during setup. Once that is done, they can probably use the account in their own.

Does this also hold for sloths?

[–] DasFaultier@sh.itjust.works 3 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago)

Absolutely.

Counterpoint: You don't have to be smart to own a social media account.

They know how to spell. But it must be very difficult to type with paws.

[–] the_mighty_kracken@lemmy.world 13 points 1 week ago

Your point is invalid. There are plenty of people on social media who can't spell.

I hate hate hate HATE when these posts use "hooman" in place of human. I pronounce it in my mind how it's spelled and it's just so obnoxious that it actually increases my fucking heart rate. It's not a misspelling, it's a completely different made-up word.

Spelling correctly as the basic indicator of intelligence? Does it mean those suffering of dyslexia are stupid? And do we become dumb when using a foreign language? And how to treat cases of words like "colour"/"color"?

Also, would I speak dogs language with mistakes, rather than not at all, would it make more or less smart?

Thought that trend died in the 2010s.
