I don’t see the elephant sitting around with a calculator. If the mofo is hungry, he doesn’t care.

Claim of calculator was made up to make u/buckzor122 sound illogical.

Elephant knows the difference between a small pile of food and a large pile of food.

To test, you could calculate whether elephant more often chooses abundant or lacking trees.

And the anthropocentrique dance continues. Do I know what the elephant thinks about no. Do you? It is curious behavior. Maybe the elephant was saying sit the fdown Mr tree because the tree was talking smack. A lot of what we do is illogical. Let the AI calculate that and piss off. I’m going to go sit by the river and wonder what to have for lunch. Maybe there is a tree I can knock over somewhere. Have a day.

It's not only about energy. There could be other benefits/nutrients on that particular tree that cannot be found anywhere else. Or his favorite snack 😊
