Our pets do this all the time. We're smarter than them (to a degree) yet they trust us absolutely, with their lives.
Maybe our destiny is to be pets to machines.

- BobaFloutist 3y agoYou're mostly right, but do not, under any circumstances, ask PETA.
- righthand 3y agoEnjoy your tuna and beef flavored human chow.
- morkalork 3y agoIs that really much worse than what's on offer at McDonald's?
- righthand 3y agoI couldn’t tell you I don’t eat McDonalds or dog food.
- tomohelix 3y agoI mean, if it is cheap, healthy, nutritious, and doesn't taste like cardboard, then I would not mind at all. In fact, I would voluntarily use it as a staple food.
- righthand 3y agoIt tastes like puppy chow. You’re comfortable eating the same thing every day for every meal right?

- selfhoster11 3y agoWhy the heck not. If it saves me cooking and they rotate a couple of varieties so I don't get sick, I don't see a downside.
- righthand 3y agoNo varieties, variety is not optimal in feeding all humans. You do not purchase human chow at a store it is fed to you by the computers.
- tomohelix 3y agoPeople eat rice or bread every day in every meal. I see no complain at all...
- BoiledCabbage 3y ago> Our pets do this all the time. We're smarter than them (to a degree) yet they trust us absolutely, with their lives. With two caveats. Our pets overall don't steer us. They may nudge us to do certain actions, but in the end, we're the ones determining the parameters of the relationship not them. Humans abuse or give pets up for adoption way more often then pets do those to humans. The second thing is close pets dogs particularly (and likely cats) were forced to evolve over many generations to take that role in the relationship. Those dogs that maintained any independence or whose goal wasn't to please their human owners were effectively bred out of existence.
