@Qbitzerre @Cubelet It's just not a scientific observation.... Imho.

@lednaBM @Cubelet not an observation (except of the behavior). A hypothesis.

@Qbitzerre @Cubelet agree to disagree.... a hypothesis requires supporting evidence, not deciding evidence.

@lednaBM @Qbitzerre honestly it was a joke. Not an observation or a hypothesis. ^^; but it did make me consider the concept of animals religions.

@Cubelet @Qbitzerre There's no doubt that animals are conscious of death, but that's not religion just because humans seem to think they own the space...

@lednaBM @Cubelet a hypothesis doesn't require any evidence. It is speculation. But my neighbor's dog tried to baptize me so that's pretty convincing to me. And he likes wafers.

@lednaBM @Qbitzerre I mean technically a hypothesis doesn't require supporting evidence since it's just an idea that needs to be tested, but I understand where you're coming from (I believe). It does have to be a statement that can potentially be proven false which my joke about whale religion does not possess.

@Cubelet @lednaBM I think Captain Ahab had a more engaging perspective. And that Jonah dude probably pondered it...

@Qbitzerre @lednaBM no. At least as of when I took that class there hasn't been a reason the scientific community has agreed upon for why whales beach themselves. I don't know if any new info has come to light. It's been over a decade.
