    When I was a kid I pressed the “return coin” button on a vending machine at a rest stop and 50¢ came out. Gotta check every single vending machine now.

    My cats did the same thing when they found a mouse. They would stand guard where they first saw it for over a month afterwards.

    Our neighborhood has the Magical Chicken Wing bush. The dog thoroughly inspected it for months afterwards, and still checks on it now and then just in case.

    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.

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

        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.

    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.

    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”

      Probably closer to intermittent reward than Pavlovian conditioning! But yeah, definitely already “well defined” by psychology haha

    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.

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

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

        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.
