Explain dog
All they hear is tone, the meaning doesn’t matter.
(Which probably isn’t actually true of dogs, but it’s an easy shorthand.)
That doesn't make sense, dogs know content of words hence why commands work. It's a cute dog but I don't understand.
You can tell a golden retriever “I hate you so much you’re such a dumb piece of shit” but in like a friendly, sing-songy tone and it’s the same to them as if you are saying “good boy, I love you”.
The joke is that libs are like that, as a politician your policy can be “fuck you stupid assholes, we don’t care about you” but if the tone is right lib voters will eat it up.
They can learn a small number of words and will be confused by even those if you say them in an different tone than the usual context the commands are given.
I mean yeah, because they go by sounds moreso than words. For humans tone can also change the meaning of words as well. I feel as confused as that dog looks.
