Chill bro...
We don't do that here
Discussion
"I am a Serval, and you're just a housecat. And that means we're both going to be nice and calm, so you don't have to die."
I think he is saying. Bro, it's not my fault they gave you a lion cut
“We’re just going to be a couple of Fonzies here. And what was Fonzie?”
Co-cool?
"I have the high ground!"
"That's only because mom's too busy recording to make you get off the bed"
The cat could probably jump over the bed without even trying. There is no high ground lol.
So many slow blinks!
"I trust you, bro, trust me back. It's all good, my dude, all's good here."
Look at the airplane ears on that thing!
That’s some A380 🐱✈️
Fun fact: a bunch of that dog’s actions were also an attempt at defusing. Dog’s sneeze like that as a way to release energy and reduce their excitement. It’s like closing your eyes, taking a deep breath, and counting to ten, then opening them more relaxed. In dog language, sneezing is like saying “I’m cool. I’m all good. We good?”
That cat looks like a Pokemon.
Mew vs Mewtwo
They seem nicer than domesticated cats lol.
Servals, like cheetahs, are fairly skittish. They prey on small critters like rats, birds, and frogs, and they’re not used to something smaller than them giving them the smoke. A pissed-off tomcat that wants to fight could probably chase off a serval fairly quickly, despite the size difference; remember, a serious injury is a death sentence to a predator in the wild, which is why you’ll see even apex predators like lions and leopards pick their battles wisely against anything that stands a chance of seriously harming them (rhinos, giraffes, Cape buffalo).
Honey badger?
Honey badger don't give a shit...
Not sure if I'm reading too much into it but so many of its movements, especially at the end, seem deliberately slow and smooth to not spook the dog again.
What dog?
the link in the thread duh
Hrmm somehow i missed that. I thought this was still talking about the original video
It’s like an Elf calming a dwarven warrior.
Impressive
This mfer just Jedi mind tricks aggression out of others. Are all Serval’s like this?!
That is a Serval, isn't it?
Yeah, and wikipedia even describes this behaviour:
On occasions where two adult servals meet in conflict over territory, a ritualistic display may ensue, in which one will place a paw on the other's chest while observing their rival closely; this interaction rarely escalates into a fight.
Why cant humans just do this instead of wars
Because with humans, those who decide to go to war and those who fight the war are two entirely seperate groups.
"Why don't presidents fight the war? Why do they always send the poor?"
“Some of you might die, but that’s a sacrifice I’m willing to make”
“Stop exploding you cowards!”
Politicians hide themselves away. They only started the war. Why should they go out to fight? They leave that role to the poor.
YEAH
We should defininitely go back to "duel of champions"style wars.
Everybodyyy’s going to the partyyy have a real good time.
🎵Politicians hide themselves away They only started the war Why should they go out to fight? They leave that all to the poor🎶
Even when they weren’t we still went to war all the time
Granted, the nobility didn't really die in war. Casualties in general were much lower, and nobility were far more useful alive than dead. They also weren't fighting alongside the rank and file, but rather as officers.
WW1 was a big change in that regard. Took a lot of the shine off it.
Even small tribes go to war though. And often the rulers are also warriors
Yes, I think the original claim was a gross oversimplification.
On the contrary, medieval armies were mostly made up of professional soldiers - knights and military aristocrats generally. And the elements of those armies that were not professional soldiers were drawn from the wealthier status of society - people who could afford arms and armor, and had the rights to bear them. Widespread drafts of unskilled peasants were very uncommon, because unskilled peasants made for poorly motivated and performing troops who could quickly become a liability.
And while not all of these were "nobles", even the highest ranking aristocrats were expected to see battle. Richard III died leading a charge, for example. Aristocrats tended to be better equipped than non-aristocrats, and if captured would be more likely to be ransomed, but they still fought on the front lines.
TL:DR despite the common pop culture belief that medieval armies consisted of peasant levies led from the rear by aristocrats, in reality peasant levies were rare, and aristocrats and other social elites performed most of the frontline fighting.
Armor is really good, compared to not having it. It's expensive, but if you don't have it, you really have no business on the front lines. Ditto for the life-long training with melee weapons, that only aristocrats and professional soldiers could really get.
This all changed with the widespread adoption of fire arms, which could punch through breastplate, and were far easier to train, but that's no longer the middle ages.
Much easier to initiate a war if you are not standing in a ditch that is getting bombed or a much higher chance of dying. Can't deny that. Small tribes did fight wars but they rarely fought to the last person because the effect would be so big.
Also, the one who decides to murder the other usually gets to reproduce while the other doesn't.
Come you masters of war....
The politicians still paw at chests, though
two entirely seperate groups.
species
I think the point could be made that they already develop into a totally different species. Mor.. morloks maybe?
And all because they have a mutation which disabled their mirror neurons, their empathy and makes them the perfect psychopaths.
To be fair, if we’re having an argument and you randomly grab my boob, I’m probably not going to calm down
yeah, 'cause you would moan and groan in ecstacy
lol wtf
Just don't pull any of my hairs off.
That's why my wife gets even more angry when I do it when we argue ?
I'm willing to give it a shot anyways
well, what do you think would happen if a Serval had guns? Those fuckers would be running this planet, i tell ya!
Walk softly and carry a big Serval?
You get reported to HR.
Was gonna say, if two guys are looking like they're in a fight, and then the bigger one casually walks up, and slowly puts their palm on the chest of the other one while staring at them intently.. I'm pretty sure you're watching a gay porno, and it's correct that what it would escalate into is not a fight
Humans do do this! (lol, doodoo).
Humans exhibit conciliatory body language. It's more prevalent in men than in women.
You can see great examples of this in footage after sporting events or competitions, it involves being physically open in their stance and demonstrating yourself to be nonthreatening augmented with occasional physical contact and mirroring of each others movements.
Men should do this with our dicks. The world would be a much calmer, safer place.
Instead of wars, we'd just be strokin' each other all the time.
Instead of beating each other up, we could be beating each other off!
Would only work if all men had dicks with the same size
Because sometimes people do bad things that deserve going to war over. Not always, but sometimes.
Also we are tribal species, so when land disputes have evolved over resources, it isn't just about "let's all be chill" its like, hey my people need this water etc so we are gonna take it at any means necessary.
Ok but consider this
We touch each others chests and then share the water
the wetter, the better
They often used to. Ritualized combat was seen between tribes in at least some hunter-gatherer communities.
That was back when the world itself was usually a larger threat than any other people, so it made sense to keep your disputes from depleting your populations unduly.
Though once times get good, and people start becoming “expendable,” well…
Nuts are too big. I won’t elaborate.
I choose to go to war against the Swedish Bikini Model Team.
We definitely do. If every disagreement/dispute ended in violence or war then we wouldn't have civilisation
Because of oil in other countries and the very thought of using a system that MIGHT work better drives capitalists absolutely bonkers
I will concede to doing the chest thing but only if the other party is female. If not war it is!
Because that's gey according to our President. If he put his hand on Vladimir chest it would escalate too far in a certain 18+ direction. /s
Ah yes the classic ritualistic behavior known as “daddy chill”, works every time
Ahah, that makes sense.
Yes fastest hand in the cat kindom
Serval? I just see two…🤔
More like ServailiaSnape. 10pts to the House of Slytherin
Do you feel in charge?
Handled the situation professionally.
The big one is mature
purrfessionally was right there!
I saw a video that said that this is how they settle disputes with one another. I think its called Serval Ballet Dance. I also don't know how valid that is, but it looked familiar with the video I watched
Dude really got the calm down bro gesture baked in his dna
"Look here, Snowball. You don't seem to understand your situation."
I'd watch an entire cat movie with this kind of voice acting
Great… now I want a Serval. Thanks.
I think the price tag will fix that problem.
i think the general size it gets will fix the problem. like, sure, your 8-12 pound cat gets a little scary when it gets crazy.
make that a 25-30lbs cat and that thing would be fucking terrifying with its claws out attacking you.
this is a big kitty. a wild big kitty. that needs to be in the wild.
I had a 9lb savannah (with ptsd) and when I moved in with my wife it kept trying to murder her cat, so we had to keep em separate until we figured it out. Even at 9lb he was fucking ferocious, and caught my arm once. Like he was a super sweet cat otherwise but you could see the drop of feral blood. I cannot imagine a 30lb version of that cat angry. But I think servals are suppose to be decently tempered, have heard they are like dogs. I wouldn't get one anyway.
How dis you figure it out?
You could get a Savanna cat. It's a Serval bred with a domestic. They're not quite as big but they're pretty cool.
Denmark has a rule where Servals(and other newer breeds) are not allowed unless it has been bred with domestic and only 2nd generation. This is mostly due to the Bengal that is way more aggressive so they just did a lazy blanket ban.
Same
Source of original?
Last time this was posted the top comment was a fantastic breakdown of the conversation between the two and I can’t remember it for the life of me
The one I remember is simply:
“Shhh. Shhh. We both know I could fuck you up. So shhh.”
🤣
”Daddy chill”
Glad someone else was thinking the same thing.
Where's archer?
Probably somewhere with an ocelot
Foxed-eared asshole!
Pissing on something I care about
Serpentine baboo!!!!
He's corpuscular, Get'em Boys!!!
Does anyone know who the voice actor is?
"You HAVE lost your mind!"
A rare case where turning the audio on is actually worthwhile. It's not just some shitty background music.
Listen here you little shit!
A ton of memories of playing Stanley's Parable just bombarded me rn.
The white cat was tired of hearing about Anubis
"You don't want this fight" moment.
I believe this serval is also blind
White cat with shaved fur except the tip of its tail, serval in captivity... Bad guy owner
A serval missing its eyes probably wouldn't do well outside of captivity, either.
Looks like Eminem telling MGK to know his role and don't even try it again!!
Insert Bane "Do you feel in charge?" gif here.
Bro has no enemies.
Listen well, Thorfinn; You have no enemies. Nobody has enemies. There is no one you should hurt. XD
Savannahs are uge!
That's a full blood serval
I hecking love Servals! But I feel they're a bit too exotic to be practical... (as practical as cats can be anyway 😅)
A true gentleman
Two ways this is going down bro. You calm down or I rip you to shreds.
cutes
Conflict is not the way, brother
Calm down, bro. You don't wanna get hurt
Advanced aliens revisiting the primitives they uplifted using gene editing from their own DNA:
The tall car be like: I don't want war stop it The white one: ok I just wanted to play 😢😢😢
It’s like I can hear him patting the white cat going “chill chill chill… aye chill chill chill chill… aye aye chillll”
Babou was about to go medieval on that ordinary house cat.
that lil giraffe knows some manners
Bro really gave him the back in day head ass treatment instead of being slammed in 0.2 seconds.
Haha the literal meaning is you are playing with fire, my little one 😅😅
Look here lil bitch. Calm your ass down before I fucking murder you.
mew.....
Daddy chill
“Do you feel in charge”?
"This isn't you"
Big cat is Chris Eubank
Beerus
I've seen this with a David Spade voiceover years ago and it was the best lol
I love that he sounds like Noel Coward.
Is that Baboo?
Lol
What a beautiful cat though
That's 2 strikes, cousin. Don't be that guy who only learns his lessons from the wrong side of strike 3...
“You’re not tough, bud. Don’t make me throw ya in the lake.”
The narrator sounds like Shere Khan lite
It was 10 chill bro
5th generation of big cats, lol, how does that work
Not Spanish dub of Vinland saga. Disappointing
Do you understand how completely fucked you are?
😂😂 he like.
I'm being nice dawg
That’s a Serval, they are no joke
One of the few times it pays to turn sound on
Typical… first born trying to calm down second born….😏
Sounds like Connor
Be calm, grasshopper. Take the pebble from my hand
Why does he sound like V from Vendetta?
Chill mate, I don't want you to be eradicated.
Brilliant!
I'm imagining this serval with the voice of Mr. Rogers
Is the commentary from something else? Cause that’s impressively timed if it is
That’s a brave cat
“You seem like a calm and reasonable cat….are you a calm and reasonable cat?”
“Do you feel in charge?”
-Bane the kitty
We need the full clip 🤣🤣🤣🔥
Did they shave the cats tail except for the end of it?
Objectively better on mute.
Literally a fucking pokemon 😆 love it.
I bet someone out there owns a Serval, and feeds them stray cats and dogs
I'm thoroughly impressed.
What a peaceful creature. It's body language is just dripping with peacefulness.
EDIT: Did someone think I was being sarcastic? I'm not. I'm letting my own instictual brain-wiring read the body language of this particular breed of feline, and it's sending a clear message that it wants peace. Nothing vague about it. It's rather touching to me that a carnivore, presented with another feline that is acting in a threatening way, is suing for peace like it's doing -- and it's working. Watching some other videos that were linked in this discussion, I see it happen again and again. There's something inspiring about it -- especially in this time where our own species is so angry and violent.
Is that an ocelot?!
He's corpuscular - get him, boys!
🤣
Easy, cousin. I'd hate to have to kill you.
"You seem a decent feline, " answered the puss in black. "I hate to die"
Edit: pun
You don’t happen to have six fingers…
My name is Inigo Catoya...
Father to a murdered son. Husband to a... wait... something's not quite right.
Incatceivable!
Six knifes, you mean?
Is this the voice of mr.cumberbatch?
