I know dogs can like tell when I'm anxious like my dog does for sure. You can tell when you're crying and stuff like that.

I did just see a neuroscientist say that there's a machine they built, like an AI thing, that can tell if you're pregnant and can also tell who the father is, which is wild to me. But I imagine since dogs' scent receptors are so much, like by the thousands, stronger than ours, that could be possible.

Oh, that's what the dingo is. It was a domestic dog. If not a domestic dog, it was a dog that followed humans around after domestication to Australia. And then once they got to Australia, realized there's a whole continent full of kangaroos without a dog-like thing. The thylacine was there.

But dingoes kind of pushed out the thylacine in a sense, too, because they're just so effective at hunting. They even introduced a dog to Australia that then became a wolf because it just had such abundance to hunt and do all those things. And that's a standard yellow pointy-eared dog.

That would be a whole episode. But it's a very political... And then indigenous versus, you know, colonist debate. And there's a lot of stigma against dingoes, kind of like there's stigma against wolves here. But the science to me kind of says that, like, they've been in Australia for upwards of 10,000 years. The environment has had enough time to adjust to them.

So they are kind of natural in that sense. And the same thing that indigenous Australians are natural to the area in that sense, too. So I don't know. It's a very politically charged debate.
