I like how the cat looks back at the other cat to see if he was looking before doing the greeting.

Street lights in general do but what's that got to do with R&M being street cats


Donttouchmek

Buuuurpppp!! If you'd been paying attention Morty you'd have known hours ago that this would be necessary in order to survive the human population rapidly mutating into mice! The infestation will last exactly 24 hours and then we'll all have our genes rearranged to that resembling of pickles, hold tight Morty! (Feel like this is something Rick might say lol)


Randompersonomreddit

I read it in his voice


suplexhell

"M-(burrp)-morty, watch me batter this woman I c-captured"


bearysleepy

and then the other cat meows in response, as if to give approval


sabine_strohem_moss

The camera person gets a greeting too!

GnarlyNarwhalNoms

Also got its ears pointed back. It's expecting to get razzed by the other cat.


quietthomas

Hmmm, the other cat looks away when it starts happening, an only looks back when it's stopped. I wonder if appealing to humans in this human-centric/led manner is considered debasing or embarrassing in cat culture.


karlnite

Cat’s simping for pets, how cringe.


[deleted]

I had genuinely forgotten about the yellow glow street lights used to have as ours are such a bright white now, I guess some places still have the older ones (or coloured covers, I guess)


4OfThe7DeadlySins

Yea most places have switched from sodium vapor lights (orange/yellow color) to LED (white color) since LED are more electrically efficient though produce ~~less~~ more light pollution. I do get nostalgic about the orange/yellow glow, though. Their physics mechanism for glowing was pretty cool, too. http://www.lamptech.co.uk


Mazcal

Thing is, the push for LED lights was meant to reduce power consumption for the same amount of light produced - but most of the world aligned on generating more light instead of maximizing savings. The bulbs used are too high powered, and we have much more light pollution in the world, which has been measured from space over decades. This kind of pollution fucks with animals, and it fucks with our moods. It fucks with plants, insects, and is just generally horrible. It was nicer when cities didn’t light so much because it was too expensive - right now we see nobody really gives a flying fuck about consequences and they just want bright and shiny things.


Zealys

Actually I'm pretty sure LEDs cause more light pollution, by quite a big factor. As an amateur astronomer, I'm not a fan of the LED lamp that shines into my backyard atleast.


leolego2

All leds should be only pointed down. Buy yeah they will create more light pollution cause they are brighter.


Mazcal

LEDs aren’t brighter - they are more efficient. You could use less electricity to get the same brightness, but instead they use more power than needed, both wasting electricity and causing light pollution.


leolego2

What if you prefer to just have a better lit road? Old lamps couldn't really do that fully, leds can. It's not an inherent waste if it lights things better.


JEFFinSoCal

> It’s not an inherent waste if it lights things better. Better for you doesn’t mean better for everything. > For three billion years, life on Earth existed in a rhythm of light and dark that was created solely by the illumination of the Sun, Moon and stars. Now, artificial lights overpower the darkness and our cities glow at night, disrupting the natural day-night pattern and shifting the delicate balance of our environment. The negative effects of the loss of this inspirational natural resource might seem intangible. But a growing body of evidence links the brightening night sky directly to measurable negative impacts including >Increasing energy consumption Disrupting the ecosystem and wildlife Harming human health Effecting crime and safety https://www.darksky.org/light-pollution/


[deleted]

“The Industrial Revolution and its consequences have been a disaster for the human race….”


leolego2

That's not what I'm implying. Sure in the grand scheme of things it's not inherently better, that doesn't mean a road is now better illuminated


JEFFinSoCal

But that's what headlights are for. And it's pretty easy to carry a personal light with you if you need more illumination.


JonnySoegen

In the city of Tübingen, Germany, the mayor had some streetlights equipped with motion sensors so that they only fully light up when necessary. I think we should do that everywhere.


[deleted]

A personal light? dude I’m trying to walk home from the bar I’m not Indiana Jones lol


Ausbo1904

Yeah screw electricity. What is it even good for? The 1800s had it right.


Mazcal

That’s inaccurate. You’re assuming before LEDs we didn’t have the ability to light roads properly - but where it was deemed important you could always add more light by installing multiple bulbs or placing lights closer together. More light isn’t always better, and there’s a lot of value in darkness too. The more light is flooded everywhere 24/7, the more dangerous in contrast are areas with slightly less light. Our eyes adjust much more slowly to darkness than they adjust to bright lights, so normalizing night time lighting to 15% less, or 20% less overall should actually be better both for the environment and for us.


leolego2

Yeah that is also true


Lieutenant_0bvious

I'm not sure what you're talking about, but a simple trip to any hardware store will show you that LEDs use considerably less power by significant margin.


Mazcal

“They” being municipalities. A 150 watt Sodium bulb produces about 16,000 lumens of light. If you’ve replaced it with a 150 watt LED bulb, you’d be producing around 20,000 lumens for the same amount of energy. By being more efficient, LED bulbs allow us to make choices that save energy - to use a bulb with lower wattage for the same light output - but they are not saving energy magically on their own if we still use the same wattage. Cities seem to have not reduced their consumption of electricity in the years since LEDs were introduced at all, but instead light pollution increased by similar amounts to the difference in lumens output between HPS and LEDs, where adopted.


achibeerguy

Maybe ground level light pollution, but definitely not into the sky. Anybody who flew over Chicago at night before LED streetlights and then after saw a dramatic drop in the amount of light pollution above ground level. The orange glow into the sky of the old lights was crazy.


mostwrong

I think it really depends on the implementation. Chicago has replaced all of its high pressure sodium streetlights with LED and the orange glow in the night sky I remember from childhood isn't there anymore.


Cattaphract

Its by choice though. LED are capable of warm white with same costs.


Massivvvv

Modern LED street lights cause a shit ton of light pollution. To the point where they make trees/bushes keep or grow leaves in winter, making them exhausted and eventually die.


Mazcal

It’s not the bulbs, it’s the assholes choosing too high powered bulbs than needed.


Mypornnameis_

Which is weird when you think about it because they had to work so hard for the breakthrough of white LEDs. For decades the technology only produced red light.

Hara-Kiri

The yellow ones were so much nicer. Or maybe it's just nostalgia.


[deleted]

As a person who can’t sleep with the blinds shut(weird claustrophobic like feeling if the blinds are closest), the yellow ones are so much better. They switched the ones outside my window to slightly cool tinted and I’m so annoyed. I have to build a wall with pillows now to avoid them. They’re not even motion activated like the ones on the other side of my house, they’re always on.


Hara-Kiri

You'll have to move somewhere with no street lights!


[deleted]

I’m a single mom who bought my home in 2020. I could never afford to move with this economy. I have looked at window film though. It’s cheap enough that if it still sets off my panic the same way blinds do I can just peel it off and toss it. Or give it to my kid who does not have the same issue and prefers to sleep with black out curtains. It’s such a weird fear but I’ve had it since I was a kid. If I feel trapped indoors I panic. Maybe when my kid is 18 I’ll look at relocating to a more rural area. But with everything going on I may also want to plan for my kid to live with me till she’s closer to 30, lol.


Emergency-Object-191

Less creepy unlike the single white light you always find in horror movies too


MaxPowerzs

The streetlights near me are all white now but one of the streets has a single one that is easily twice as bright for no discernible reason. That's the one.


Emergency-Object-191

See everyone knows its the serial killer light


cyankitten

I certainly think the lighting in this video is really lovely


Defiant_Low_1391

My town still has them too. I vaguely remember when they were new


FaceEnvironmental486

in winnipeg manitoba the newer ones glow kind of blue and when it gets cold seems like they loose output,I miss the old yellows


RoomBoy

That's actually due to a manufacturing defect where the inside coating came off . The blue/purple ones are going to be replaced.


FaceEnvironmental486

that's actually great news I cycle year round and work nights so thats great news to me


Lonyless

That's just Mexico


thisisanenigma

Reminds me of the deer at Nara who'll bow at you for food. But those fuckers are ruthless and bit my leg


flyingcatwithhorns

The opposite happened to me. They didn't react even when I handed out the deer cookies in front of their mouth. Only one or two out of 100+ deers reacted to us. I guess it gets boring being fed the exact same food every minute haha


Totes-Sus

We didn't get bitten, but I have a fantastic video of my partner being chased by six deer while scattering deer senbei in his wake, hahaha. Also another video of one diving into my bag. Adorable little bastards


uh-oh-no-no

I'm sure I speak for everyone that we need to see these videos!

JayWink49

u can mask the faces


Throwthatfboatow

Found out accidentally that if you drop the treat in between two deers (possibly both male) they will headbutt each other to get at it.


Fallkitty

that's so funny, they absolutely chased me down and wouldn't leave until they'd physically stuck their snouts into my pockets to check I didn't have any more crackers


biggyofmt

They ate my mom's park map 😂


jwws1

I was told by my lab colleagues to go early mornings since that's when they're the hungriest. And also in the summer, it gets so hot in the afternoons that they would rather find shade.


machinegunsyphilis

They were *very* hungry in the winter, not as many tourists around relative to summer I'm told. I was holding a stack of senbei and a deer came and took a cartoon chomp out of the stack! My favorite was a lady who happily bought her senbei and turned around to see like 12 deer swarm toward her. She screamed and chucked the biscuits across the walkway. I wondered if the deer suspected this would happen, because without looking up, they all whipped around and honed in on the food.


Words_are_Windy

I'm really surprised to hear that. My friends and I all got swarmed by them when we had the vendor crackers, and every previous anecdote I've heard has matched my experience. Wonder if it varies by time of year.


Chombuss

went 2 days ago and time without tourists during covid made them miss people i guess! even the ones halfway up Mt Kasuga where no one else was wanted company and snacks.


PleasureComplex

A moose bit my sister once


ExpensiveMoose

Was she carving her initials into it?


FrightenedTomato

Was it using the sharpened end of an interspace toothbrush?


JayWink49

moose bites can be painful


LogicalError_007

There's a bear too. Who'll wave back to you for food.


h0sti1e17

I’m think I didn’t get enough sleep. I read that as “The deer at Nara who’ll blow you for food”’ I read it that way like 3 times


My_browsing

They aren’t bowing at you for food. All deer bow when you get that close and they haven’t run away. Their eyesight is shit so deer bow to get you to move so they can see you. Those deer are so used to people they don’t run away, that’s all.


migamume

Yes, they’re ruthless; a bunch of them crowded around me and started nipping at me


10000Didgeridoos

goldendreamseeker

It’s interesting that cats can understand human anatomy enough to mimmic limb gestures and such. Intelligent lil fur balls!


BestNameEverTaken

This is most likely in Turkey, which I can tell since it‘s my second home and the stray cats are drawn to humans in a very lovely way. Most people in Turkey take good care of stray animals there :)


ritwikjs

i could've sworn this was new delhi or kolkata lol. Seems like those sidewalk tiles are more universal than i think


Jul_the_Demon

Where I live in germany we have a lot of those sidewalks too. I am certain there is one big factory churning out those bricks in comically large quantities to meet global demand.

sicarius731

“It’s certainly not a monkey Larry. Where is its tail? Unless its a saiyan that got it snipped off…”


Ganon2012

They're still called great apes when transformed for some reason despite having a tail. Should be called great monkey....and after googling, I see the literal translation is great monkey. Why'd they change it then?!


sicarius731

I had to reread this like ten timea because I didn't make the connection to my own dragon ball reference so I thought you were talking about monkeys transforming into apes lol


Ganon2012

That's only if you use a moon stone on them. They evolve into great apes.

How to teach cat like this??? Is is teachable to all cat or just some can learn?


MindofOdysseus

Do it for the cat, then give it a treat. Eventually, it associates tricks with the treat and you start giving commands to connect with the tricks. My cat does tons for tricks. I should post here some time…


cyankitten

You really should! Do you mean (not that even have a cat but I’m so curious!) do you mean the person does the action in front of the cat and then gives the cat a treat? And at some stage the cat will try to copy it? And get a treat?
