Thanks for all the unicorn chasers, Xeni!

Be careful to keep enough in reserve.

He’s not dumb, he’s just making a point about what a dick the person filming this is being.

Do you want to join Tantalus in eternal suffering in the depths of Hades?

Because this is how you join Tantalus in eternal suffering in the depths of Hades.

Yup.
I’m anthropomorphizing and may be wrong, but the vibe I get is
“Oh dear, here we go again. Best to just play along with this shit until hooman gets tired. And maybe pee in their slippers later.”

Stupid dog. Trying to calculate acceleration with a boilerplate quadratic equation. Tsss. My cat would never do this.

My pupper has never been able to catch treats, even as a young dog, so his strategy has been to stare at the floor when food or treats are in the offing to be ready to get anything that drops. Practical dog, he recognized his limitation & came up with a workaround.

It does seem like x_f = x_i + v_it + 0.5at² is more appropriate.

Your dog is basically an engineer.
Who are usually good to have around the house.

Yes! Poor pupper. I hope they got their treat after all that frustration!

He’s a cruel, capricious god.

it’s training in a way. he’s learning that humans will be dicks to amuse themselves.

If the pup didn’t eventually get the snack I’m gonna be SO PISSED

Well of course he’s confused. He forgot to put the top of the quadratic equation in brackets so he’s forgetting to divide the -b term by 2a.
