Dogs have it figured out. They’re smart enough to know how to do all sorts of things, but have also achieved a level of wisdom that lets them understand that, really, they can get away with just lying around being lazy and adorable instead. As shown in a recently resurfaced video from a few years ago, the most enlightened of their species have even learned to respond to whatever dumb shit we baby talk to them with a dismissive “blah blah blah.”
Look at this dog. Prompted by the humans around it, having heard more than enough of the condescending “good boys” or “good girls” and fed up with inane commands to sit or lie down at a moment’s notice, the dog shuts down a conversation by howling out an inter-species dismissal. It refuses to let a word in edgewise. When asked to “say hello” it rightly ignores this direction, continuing to recite “blah, blah, blah” over and over again instead. It’s listened to everything its humans have had to say before and found all of it wanting.
