Dogs aren't stupid
Most can figure out wagging their tail gets good boys and pets, maybe even treats
Like how adult cats only meow for humans

Welcome to c/DigitalBioacoustics, a unique niche in the vast universe of online forums and digital communities. At its core, bioacoustics is the study of sound in and from living organisms, an intriguing intersection of biology and acoustics. Digital bioacoustics, an extension of this field, involves using technology to capture, analyze, and interpret these biological sounds. This community is dedicated to exploring these fascinating aspects of nature through a digital lens.
As you delve into c/DigitalBioacoustics, you'll notice it's not just another technical forum. This space transcends the usual drone of server rooms or the monotonous tap-tap of keyboards. Here, members engage in a unique fusion of natural wonders and technological prowess. Imagine a world where the rustling of leaves, the chirping of birds, and the mysterious calls of nocturnal creatures meet the precision of digital recording and analysis.
Within this domain, we, the participants, become both observers and participants in an intricate dance. Our mission is to unravel the mysteries of nature's soundtrack, decoding the language of the wild through the lens of science. This journey is not just about data and graphs; it's about connecting with the primal rhythm of life itself.
As you venture deeper, the poetic essence of our community unfolds. Nature's raw concert, from the powerful songs of mating calls to the subtle whispers of predator and prey, creates a tapestry of sounds. We juxtapose these organic melodies with the mechanical beeps and buzzes of our equipment, a reminder of the constant interplay between the natural world and our quest to understand it.
Our community embodies the spirit of curious scientists and nature enthusiasts alike, all drawn to the mystery and majesty of the natural world. In this symphonic melding of science and nature, we discover not just answers, but also new questions and a deeper appreciation for the complex beauty of our planet.

Well, it works.
Ok so this comment is wild so bear with me
Does it ever weird anyone else out that we've basically genetically engineered dogs into emotional support creatures?
Like, let's say some company announces that they've successfully engineered a new type of pet called a wubsy. They took genetic material from all the cutest animals, making what is essentially dog/cat/quokka hybrid that has been designed to love humans and do their bidding. Takes off like a rocket ship, everybody has to have the new designer pets that come in all sorts of colors. Videos show up of them doing the cutest stuff, kissing and hugging people, while working tirelessly to appease us. We feel love for them, but what can they feel for us, if they cannot feel otherwise? If one ever does anything harmful to people, they just kill it.
This kind of relationship seems oddly creepy to me, and yet it seems we've all just accepted it.
And we surgically prevent them from having the ability to reproduce because it makes them more pleasant to be around.
feels like they have stockholm syndrome, or perhaps it's more akin to that Simpsons episode where everyone has to be happy or else Bart will mess them up with telepathic powers. All the dogs are like "happy thoughts! happy thoughts! don't upset them! Look, I wag my tail! See?? happy!"
oopsie wubsy :3
