Thought Process

Okay so a while ago I was thinking about really dumb mistakes in coding. I'm talking about those hilarious things with the way things are programmed that just completely break the processes in the code. Things like forgetting parentheses on a line that tells the computer to run the process once and then not coding a command to make it stop the process. The computer basically kills itself. It tries to run the process, but since it can't stop, it just runs that process over and over and over until it runs out of memory and crashes. That's seriously one of the funniest things ever. These computers are supposed be super smart or something, but they're actually super dumb.

They aren't dumb because they can't do processes correctly. Every computer does exactly what it's programmed to do. Even if what it's programmed to do is run a text script until it crashes. So really, every problem you'll ever have with a computer is not the computers fault. It's most likely your fault. A lot of people don't believe it's their fault though. And thus we get to the topic of today.

Humans are really dumb. This seems to be the only thing directly programmed into our brains. Every single response you have to anything can be equated to the process in a computer. This may be why we find computers so relatable. If I had to write the same sentence over and over for a comparatively long amount of time, I would probably crash too. What this does not account for however is the ability of humans to pack bond with literally everything.

There was a post on twitter where someone got a notification at midnight during a thunderstorm from their roomba. There was a power surge and their roomba got stuck on the base of a fan even though it wasn't supposed to be on, so this person got up, and brought the roomba with them and put them it to bed. They felt that strong bond because their roomba felt so much fear that they had to ensure it was safe.

So that got me thinking: Dogs probably didn't get domesticated the way we think. It was most likely less like, "Hey these things can get food easy. This is beneficial to me as someone who wants to stay alive," and more like, "These things are so small, what a cute baby I want it to love me I will pet it and give it food, its just so smollllllll AAAAAAAAAAHHHHHH." Humans will probably be put into universal history for trying to pet everything. Aliens will come to Earth all like, "We come in peace," and the first human to see them will be like, "I wonder if I can pet that."

Anyway. This was actually a very useful evolutionary trait to have because literally the only reason we survived is by working together. We have to continue to work together so we can set a good example for the probably octopus derived species that will inherit the earth. I have to mention, have you noticed how great octopuses are?
