Thank you hbomberguy, for now making me painfully aware of how much educational material on social media doesn't cite sources. This is a ding to the original TikTok post that was just happy to throw together clips they found, put a poorly chosen song and bad Ai voice over it, and claim ad revenue from millions of views
Fuck animal testing. You're an animal too and the fact that you can exercise power over something else weaker than you shows you don't have superior reason at all, just the power of exploitation.
Except for the dog and frog everything is in a zero g simulator plane not space, I feel like at least the cats and pigeons can tell that they're just falling. The pigeons especially should have some kind of magnetic sense that they're still moving forward
Time would be the difference. If the animals on the plane had more than a few minutes to acclimate to zero g they'd probably react different. If not, why do you not react like you're in zero g when you jump? You're just falling after.
My guess is that in the said app you have to sustain a certain (fast) pace, because the faster it gets, the more it is that you will crave for the next one and keep scrolling, so basically you will see more ads (=more $). No music means a pause in this cycle, and people would be more inclined to leave/scroll to the next I guess. That’s just a guess.
if they wanted to just stand still, they could grab onto the bars of the cage. IIRC, the behaviour was attributed to using the entire cage as a running wheel
I feel really bad for the animals on space missions. No ability to take walks or get fresh air. It's taxing for a human to deal with but at least they volunteered.
I'm guessing the "bouncing" is because they are in an imperfect simulated zero-g environment and it doesn't seem to be as well controlled as the others. One guy does punt the cat a bit but I think he's just trying to keep things on the rails.
You are correct, they're not actually in space but on the "vomit comet", an airplane that climbs to high altitude and then dives to simulate zero gravity in the bay inside. You get about a minute of zero gravity every 3 minutes or so.... And also it makes you barf a lot.
The cats and pigeons clips were from a USAF/NASA experiment in parabolic flight (so simulated micro gravity). One of the science YouTubes did video about it... but I don't remember which (Smarter Everyday or one of the Vsauces)
lol, the typo is fitting. I hate that they retired it... although I've heard rumors a private company was going to do private flights in the US... I doubt it would ever be financially feasible for us common folk, but a boy can dream.
The dog is smart enough to know he's with a human and due to past history knows and trusts that they're going to look after each other. Froggie not so much.
I don't think the cat is freaking out, that's just what cats do while falling so they can land on their feet. The cat is just like "yep, falling, I'm a cat, I know how to handle this."
The doggo's video is not real, I don't remember if it's a random staged video or a movie/tv series. The mice are actually in the process of twisting the ship, in irder to dave it from falling into the atmosphere
Awww that makes me sad 😫 at least the other ones are still interesting. Makes me wonder how a dog would actually handle it, I kinda feel like they would still do the doggie paddle thing.
I'm worried about the mice, it's cute AF but I bet they were already panicking trying to get out of this unfamiliar, exposed little wire cage. The one dude looks okay though. Just chilling.
IIRC, the mice acted kinda normally for the first day or so, then started using the whole cage like a running wheel. eventually every mouse ends up doing it
Pants. Wearing pants in zero G is the key to control. Furry doggo AND astronaut have pants and are OK. Pretty obvious! Get some pants on that hamster and retest.

BlackCatCasper
Yeah I don’t want pigeons shitting in space.
lizardbones
the mice were aboard the space station. they were up there for a week or so
GorillaPowers
The dog is from a Japanese commercial. It's not in zero g at all.
bingotown
But zero g is just constant falling. Should be identical feeling. Not sure about magnetic field differences up there.
Armeater
There is no difference between the phenomem experienced in the space station and in a zero g plane, they are both falling
Myoron
Time would be the difference. If the animals on the plane had more than a few minutes to acclimate to zero g they'd probably react different. If not, why do you not react like you're in zero g when you jump? You're just falling after.

Mice the only ones clever enough to understand centrifugal forces. Created their own artificial gravity only by moving fast in circles, genius.
SalmonTheWise
Mice are natural belters. The gravity is only holding them down.

Super confusing to watch due to the forced portrait layout
fannyshmeller
I feel like pigeons in zero g would result in a lot of bird shit floating around everywhere

It's like the mice are trying to create their own centrifugal force to stay "grounded".

the mice are on the space station. the dog is faked. the rest are simulated zero-g in a plane

The chill dog is from a Japanese softbank TV commercial
Stoneagedudeman
I bet the cat would have been more chill If the fuckers stopped bouncing it around like a spring ball.
shawngeek
Plus, they seemed to be keeping it “upside down”. So of course the cat is freaking out trying to “land” on its feet the whole time.
Myoron
That was in the Vomit Comet so basically in free fall, not consistent zero g like one would feel in orbit
amglasgow
Free fall is what you experience in orbit.
tclothingw
Yeah. They had no idea how to properly handle a cat
MuffinProof
No squish
Feralkyn
The fact they aren't wearing raptor-handling gloves is a tip-off
arrogantengineer
I'm guessing the "bouncing" is because they are in an imperfect simulated zero-g environment and it doesn't seem to be as well controlled as the others. One guy does punt the cat a bit but I think he's just trying to keep things on the rails.
CrashInfinite
You are correct, they're not actually in space but on the "vomit comet", an airplane that climbs to high altitude and then dives to simulate zero gravity in the bay inside. You get about a minute of zero gravity every 3 minutes or so.... And also it makes you barf a lot.

It almost seems like they are trying to test how the "cat always land on their feet" thing works in zero g.

The good old vomit vomit, they still use it for training, and I know a Russian company used to sell rides on one (ok go did a music video on it)

Mice adapt to space by being even more invasive/terrifying

No, the mice know what's going on and make their own gravity by rotation.

Figured the doggo was fake - never been any large mammels - other than Homo Sap - on the ISS. Some are clearly shot in the Vomit Comet too.
Regardless of the origin, the mice are real and they seemed to be having a blast!
yepitspuck
Or panicking. Actually, you know what, you're right. They are clearly having a blast.

Panic in rodents is usually accompanied with trying to find cover, and pooping, not running like maniacs.

Yeah but there IS no cover
