I have trouble believing this is actually true

How many elephants even answered that questionnaire? Was it statistically significant?

I'm fairly sure this was actually disproven, because I remember being devastated over it, but I'm too lazy to look it up to see if I'm right.

You don't even need to look anything up to disprove this one. Just keep in mind the fact that no one has actually managed to shove an elephant into an MRI machine. We have no idea what they think of us.

Is that a challenge?

[–] aceshigh@lemmy.world 11 points 11 months ago

I’d expect them to be curious of us, not think that we’re cute.

[–] dojan@lemmy.world 8 points 11 months ago

Me too, but it's such an insignificant yet delightful idea, so I'm just going to make it my headcanon.

Sorry, they actually perceive us the same way we perceive rats

[–] Zehzin@lemmy.world 2 points 11 months ago

So, they think we're cute? 🐀
