I've Seen Posts Going Around Claiming That Petting Animals Is Basically Tricking Them Into Thinking They're

I've seen posts going around claiming that petting animals is basically tricking them into thinking they're being groomed, and it's bugging me because, like, there's no trickery afoot. Petting and scritching are grooming activities. They help to dislodge loose fur and foreign objects and more evenly distribute protective oils, among other things. Primates are social groomers, and the human impulse to scritch is the legacy of our primate ancestors. We see an animal we like, even a dangerous one, and the monkey brain says "groom that thing".

Three images on the first Troy from Community enters a department carrying pizzas smiling, he's labeled: "ratatosk's passengers expecting a normal, boring trip" on the second image Troy looks shocked and alarmed he's still holding the pizzas and on the third images the full department Is shown revealing a fire in the middle of the room labeled as the first verse of the song Red Signal by the Mechanisms: "Y'AI 'NG'NGAH, YOG-SOTHOTH H'EE-L'GEB F'AI THRODOG UAAAH" on the left there's a man holding something long and blue that Is also on fire he's throwing it towards the center of the room, the man Is labeled: "the revolutinaries attacking the train" on the bottom right there's two people tending someone hurt lying on the floor the three of them are labeled "Loki, the terrorist, being alive and on the train" and on the upper right there's a woman behind a table attached to the wall, she's labeled "Thor shouting and throwing random shit very, very angry"

Thinking about how confused the passengers must have been Is kinda funny

Happy fuck you and fuck your train Friday
