      Pavlov walks in to a bar

      He doesn’t see the bartender, so he rings the bell for service

      Bartender comes out, but Pavlov is already leaving

      “Hey,” bartender says, “I’m here, you want a drink?”

      Pavlov says, “I can’t. I need to go home. I just realized that I forgot to feed my dog.”

        For the older people like myself that don’t understand why everything needs to be a 5-minute video, here’s a 15-second read:

        Classical conditioning (also Pavlovian conditioning) is a type of learning that happens subconsciously.

        Ivan Pavlov (1849-1936) was the first to show the way in which it works. He did this in an experiment using dogs. Pavlov noticed that the dogs naturally salivated when they saw food. He paired this unconditioned stimulus (showing food to the dogs) with another, neutral stimulus: the ringing of a bell. Pavlov discovered that, if the two stimuli are presented together again and again, the organism learns that they belong together.

            To be fair, I’m all for whatever medium would allow science communication be more effective. And for certain demographics, videos are the only thing they could digest, even for things that don’t need visuals. It is what it is, and I’m not in a position to judge.

            But yeah, for people like us with one foot on the grave, every minute counts. And nothing beats the efficiency of skim-reading through text.

              I respect that. However I happily and frequently judge. These people are idiots and society has failed them.

          Also, he was harvesting dog bile for making medicine and had a factory where he pumped dog bile out of hundreds of thousands(edit:sources differ, at least 35 and maybe up to 2000) of dogs that he was starving. He couldn’t feed them because that would taint the bile, and they wouldn’t produce as much because, y’know, they’re not starving. When they died about a week after he got them, he would simply replace them.
