Productivity has always been there

Because shockingly when people enjoy what they do (you make it enjoyable instead of just hammering on them) people WANT to do things!

Where is the button to shout this from the rooftop?

[video description: a cat squirming around on a window sill]

HE SURE IS

@is-the-cat-video-cute I’m pretty sure this video is cute, but what the heck is this cat doing???

Rating: Cute

In all hilarity, exactly what the gif above is doing!

This kitty is rubbing his face and body on the windowsill to scent mark. He’s a very happy kitty, with all the head rubs and kneading. He’s probably just going back and forth for fun and because he cant just keep going one way!

Are you implying that young highschool/uni men often squirm around on the floors of their schools in order to mark it with their scents?

“When the approach is imminent, the tail goes up”

(via)

A cat putting its tail straight up like this is a friendly greeting. This is the equivalent of the cat waving excitedly at you as soon as it gets close.

"what makes us human" oh I know this one! use of fire led to the development of cooking led to dietary changes that enabled brain growth. this, plus the light and warmth provided by fire, allowed early hominids to spend time socializing around the hearth, encouraging the development of language and furthering our abilities to communicate, eventually leading to the unprecedented cooperation needed to create and organize human societies.

so it's a combination of food, language, friendliness and cooperation, all thanks to pyromaniacal tendencies and our massively enormous fat heads!

told y'all arson is always the answer

impeccable gif usage
