2018-03-10 at 8:24 PM UTCHey there, Mr Questions.
I'm glad you are back and alive. I am very sorry to hear of the passing of our beloved choots magoots. She was an excellent kitty. She always looked so grumpeh, I love it. I always felt like I was fucking up when I saw that disapproving frown of contempt. And I loved it. What a fine cat to lose. And what a bond to break, MmQ and Chootie the Cutie.
Rest in Peace you fine feline. May Allah and Xenu deliver your chubby tiger into cat Valhalla, so that Fenrir may fall to her glare. Stay strong MmQ.
Love,
Your Niggas in SpaceThe following users say it would be alright if the author of this post didn't die in a fire! -

your mistaking a ratt for a dogg.
a rat dont have the intelligence of a dogg nad neither does your houseplant have the intelligence of a fieldplant.The following users say it would be alright if the author of this post didn't die in a fire! -

The word intelligence derives from the Latin intelegere; to choose between. In situations of choice if the decision made after assessment is beneficial, it is considered to be an intelligent decision. Legg and Hutter (2007) collected some 70 different definitions of intelligence and summarized them as follows. Intelligence: (i) Is a property that an individual has as it interacts with its environment or environments. (ii) Is related to the agents ability to succeed or profit with respect to some goal or objective. (iii) Depends on how able the agent is to adapt to different objectives or environments.
In the same numerical order. (i) Wild plants interact with and respond to their environment via competitive and other biotic and abiotic signals. (ii) The goal or objective is fitness with seed number as a fitness proxy. Those most successful, and thus most fit, provide more offspring. (iii) Fitness depends on the skill with which individuals best adapt to their environment throughout their life cycle (McNamara and Houston, 1996). Those individual plants that can master and adapt to the problems of competition, master other biotic and abiotic stresses with greater plasticity, lower cost, higher probability, or more rapidly, are fitter and on this basis are more intelligent. Finally intelligence is a capacity for problem solving, (the psychologists choice) and profiting from experience another (Jennings, 1923; Gardner, 1983; Sternberg and Detterman, 1986; Sternberg, 1986). All effectively say the same thing.

Sorry, I don't think we have intelligence, thus this post must be the work of an Evil Demon.
