[id: graffiti on the base of a concrete overpass where previous grafiti has been covered over with gray paint multiple times. In black all-caps handwriting, it reads: “What kind of paint are you using to paint over this? Because if it is latex, its probably way too cold for it, you want good adhesion, you need like at least 40°-45°. Maybe wait till it warms up a little, I mean what’s the big rush? Like, I’m in a rush now but our situations are different” /end id]
Obsessed with animals that don’t immediately understand something and just tilt their head about it. Does it make any more sense at a 45° angle, bud?
Short answer: YES. Animals with binaural hearing (two ears) and binocular vision (two eyes) recieve additional visual and auditory information by looking at/listening to the same thing from a tilt.
Canids tilt their heads to determine the vertical placement of a sound—how far up/down it is. […] The head tilt offsets the two ears vertically so that sounds from lower down will hit the lower ear first, and will also be ever-so-slightly louder in the lower ear, and vice versa for sounds coming from higher up.
Canids, like most mammals, already have an excellent sense of the horizontal placement of sound—how far left or right it is. The placement of their ears on either side of their heads lets them determine the horizontal placement of sound by how loud or quickly a sound reaches each of their ears.
Similarly, looking at something sideways provides more vertical visual information about the object’s surroundings. You now have more context for the object.
I love this picture because even 70 years ago, way up in the Arctic in a culture very different than my own, a 17 year old still had the same “Dad, please hurry up and take the damn picture” expression that characterized every picture taken of me from 2001-2007.
