I once had a program fail to compile, but when I compiled it a second time it worked. No idea why, best guess is some kind of caching or dependency issue that got resolved by restating the compiler.

Now every time a program fails to compile and it’s not immediately obvious what the problem is, I instinctively compile it again just in case. Well more like three or four times.

I might just be a dog though.

I think you would call this transductive reasoning. Rather than using information to put together a theory and work off that theory you work directly off the evidence

for example hearing a bell and dinner being ready and coming to associate the bell with dinner without ever learning why the bell means dinner

found pie in the bush, there might be pie in that bush

Drusas ,

This is my dog after she discovered she could pick her own blackberries. Too bad blackberry season isn't year round because she sure expects it to come back every day.

lud ,

I wish. Berry season is the best. I love European blueberries (bilberries).

Drusas ,

I absolutely love the natives huckleberries we have here in the US Pacific Northwest. They're also related to blueberries but have some tartness to them.

Found money in Vietnam once, and was forever looking at every piece of trash on the sides of roads thereafter.

The owner should put treats in that bush for Dusty to find.

My dog once found a biscuit* in a bush near our home, from that day onwards he always checked the bush for a biscuit, there never was another one, the bush became known as "The Biscuit Bush"

What type of biscuit was it?

bingbong ,

Bush biscuit

I think it’s just regular Operant Conditioning, but the reward of finding half a pie was so strong that the association will stick to this bush for a lot longer than if it was a smaller one.

Us: hahaha silly dog.

Also us: oh a waterfall, I’ll check behind it.

Omega_Haxors ,

Those who do not check behind the waterfall do not deserve to see the fairy wonderland behind it.

A vintage meme sir but it checks out

Also also us: oh a lottery ticket that I know for a mathematical fact has such a tiny chance of winning that I’m literally more likely to be struck by a shark and eaten by lightning, well I’ll try my odds, who knows?

And what if he found a new species of bush that grows pie huh?

This is seen in human society, and is called a Cargo cult

More recent scholarship on cargo cults has challenged the suitability of the term for the movements associated with it, with recent anthropological sources arguing that the term is born of colonialism and prejudice and does not accurately convey the nature of the movements to which it refers.

1950s pseudoscience bullshit.

verdigris ,

?

It wasn’t pseudoscience, it was just given a colonial-centric name that reinforces the view of uncontacted or even just aboriginal peoples as “savage” or “uncivilized”. The described phenomenon is a real thing.

usernamesaredifficul ,

trouble is people are only familiar with the old name

verdigris ,

I don’t think there is another agreed upon name? Regardless the idea shouldn’t be attacked because it’s poorly named.

usernamesaredifficul ,

no I agree I don’t think it’s racist to reference the fact that people from non industrial societies don’t understand how our supply chains work. Why would they. That’s not them being dumb it’s them not having detailed knowledge without being taught. It’s not reasonable to expect someone to deduce the existence of Bristol from a blue vase

irmoz ,

Yeah, fair, just figured it was a relevant term

sunbytes ,

There is a part of the dog training book “Total Recall” by Pippa Mattinson that refers to this.

Pie-in-a-bush is her way of explaining the Jackpot reward training method.

Very surreal to see it realised so.

There’s a Norwegian prog rock band called Magic Pie, I haven’t seen their bush yet though

can , (edited )

Nothing like some prog rock and bush.

Ghyste ,

This isn’t even remotely close to being a meme.

can ,

I agree but I think we’re a minority at this point.

Drusas ,

Most memes on Lemmy seem not to be. I've given up complaining about it, aside from right now.

Ghyste ,

People just dump any garbage because moderators are either non-existent or don’t care, and the bulk of the community mindlessly upvote literally any crap that gets posted here.

Meanwhile other communities lack content that these posts would be a proper fit for, and the same people supporting garbage posts here use that lack of activity in other communities as an excuse to continue the garbage posts here.
