How do they know this ?
TardWrangl3r
Except for OP. Not even OP’s mom reacts that way for him.

I tried to fact check this and couldn't find anything...I want it to be true so badly! Anyone have a source for this?
Fullmotard
I welcome our gentle overlords. We shall serve them well in the near future.

I call bullshit

Source?
supersomatic
When you see a claim like this, ask yourself how they would know that. Do you think they put an elephant in an MRI?
DrSharkbite
Banana for cuteness scale
heckingbork
I don’t know why that makes me so happy but it does.
TheLummox
So we're just a bunch or murdering puppies hunting them to extinction
bilborrax
Bah I made this comment last time but now you got it
bosskcradossk
Yeah we are some vicious fucking puppies Jesus christ
Archmasterflex
Imagine this during the age of the first hunters... "omg look at it it's so cuAHHH WTF STOP POKING ME DARREN!"
themayorMcCheese
Aw. Wonderful!
AmachiHitsugi
Like this elephant trying to rescue somebody that looked like he was drowning: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uVceZEfAsTc

Ohmyawwwww
sharkpartyx
I think this saved my life today
railgap
Our fMRI models are based on human brains. So our assumption is the elephant brains (minds, rather) work more or less like ours do.
DetVarSkybertIkkeMeg
Atleast something thinks I'm cute.
DrakeASnake
Too bad it's a maybe fact.
MrAwesomesauce101
We could be best friends if some assholes would stop shooting them or exploiting them. They are the most wonderful and gentle creatures.
waitbutactually
Ok then where are my scratches
warsteel
No but see we humans don't know how to react to cuteness overload our first response is violent like omg it's so cute I have to squish it!
warsteel
What happens when it's the elephants first response to squish eh
lelacdesCygnes
Sauce?
LinkinPiper
LET ME LOVE YOU!!!

Best. Compliment. Ever.

elephants are cute
MrAwesomesauce101
They are big bundles of adorable.
MoyerTheDestroyer47
Until they smash through your village for fun.
MrAwesomesauce101
They only have done that when there was a documented slaughter of a herd nearby.

Swolebunnymen
I love them.
MrAwesomesauce101
Same! They are so wonderful and magnificent and sooooo cuuuute.
DostoevskyDisciple
well, that is how elephants feel about US. :p MAKES ME SO HAPPY TO KNOW THIS
MericanNightmare
COME HERE AND LOVE ME HAIRLESS APELINGS!!
Ben1045
Maybe it was afraid of the loud thing they might have figured?
Goodnewwseveryone
Dude what the heck? Why would they get off that vehicle and run? Pretty sure that motorcycle would be faster...
LunarApocalypse
Can't turn around without risking getting too close
Loser37
They probably just panicked. Running is a more primal instinct than operating a motorcycle, and instinct takes over in panic mode
Goodnewwseveryone
Haha yeah, probably
M1S0
Until some human asshole start to haunt them, then they will see us as enemies
NoSirThatIsBaldrickSpringCleaning
DrakeASnake
Poachers would make them see us as enemies?
petroach
hopefully that day never comes
NoSirThatIsBaldrickSpringCleaning
Dam human asshole ghosts bothering poor elephants from the afterlife, just awful, who you gonna call huh!?
ColdHandsWarmHeart
Well, I am cute.
Kkenn
Well, not all puppy r cutw
SwarthyBastard
Me too.
ilovemyslippers
Although i'm not cute, it has to be said that sometimes i find my self rather delightful.
RandAIFlagg
the cute ones -always- have cold hands, so I believe it

They're good humans, Bront!

I’m ugly af with a cranky disposition but lucky to have a wonderful wife with bad taste in men.
ZombieZooZombieZoo
Same!
crankyoldgeezer
We are the truly lucky
Onekindofpisslord
People whose SOs have terrible taste, unite!
Promethianfire
I want this to be true
LudicrousSpeedGo
Agreed. But theyre prone to stomping people in the wild. And most people don't stomp puppies.
Promethianfire
They are prone to stomping people who fuck with them or crowd them until they go nuts
BanditBurrito
I've been searching for a while now, haven't found anything to back this up.
carsandpibblesarelife
You really think someone would do that? Just go on the internet and lie?
SnugglesaurusRex
Yeah. They would have to fit an elephant's head in an MRI and show it images of people to know for sure what they thought.
GovernorOdious
I don't know why but your comment is cracking me up. Thank you Mr Rex.
1234canIhavealittlemore
Sounds feasible :)
CaptGunpowder
Yeah, makes you wonder how psycho the elephants that stomp humans are; "Oh look, a cute little humieANDYOUREDEADYOUCUTELITTLESHIT"
dinoman9877
If it were true, then like we do if a dog attacks us, elephants will protect themselves when we attack them.
Gameofdrink
People will kill dogs if they think they're a threat, elephants will kill you if they think you're a threat
Tentrees
Probably how lots of people like dogs and then you get those ones who HATE THEM FOREVER
fineletsdoeverythingyouwannado
Maybe it's like us and bugs, some are like cute catapillar and others are like "smush"
h0tdoglatte
if they had opposable thumbs, we would be their pets.
T0rchik
And if they didnt reproduce at such a slow pace
bigdaddyfatpants
Good bye and thanks for all the fish.
NotSoSureAboutThisYou
I have thought this about cats...but more like we would be their slaves.
tyr888
But if they had thumbs, I wouldn't oppose them..
LiquidPeppermint
What if we already ARE their pets? And they just don't bother us in our habitats?

BeckyGaladriel
And happily so...
theartofmath
I'd be cool with that. Free food and home, and trunk-y head scritches
GingerLaird
There is an Elephant race in MTG, Google it and be stunned.
RelevantForOnce
My dad would call this an "If things were different, they'd be really different" argument.
HardcoreAlGore
If they treated me like I treat my dog, I’m fucking down. Let’s get them some thumbs.
SwarthyBastard
I was gonna say, it's an interesting thought experiment. If they were capable of taking care of you, would you allow them to 1/2
SwarthyBastard
domesticate you?
IAmAnAdu1t
Yes. It's a weird thought of mine that one day we'll make robots that will domesticate us and I don't have to work anymore.
HD226868
Nah. They'd still need a major upgrade to intelligence.
auscaliber
Downvoted for pissing on the parade with 'truth', how could you.
automaticallymoderated
Subjective.
HD226868
No. Not subjective at all.
h0tdoglatte
Humans only seem intelligent because they can speak.
Ruhig
It's true, you know. The success of the elephant space program is a testament to that fact.
johnnyshitknucklez
We are uniquely intelligent amongst other species and there are a lot of reasons why, also many animals have language
HD226868
Also the whole 'Germ theory, calculus, quantum mechanics, optics, etc' thing. But sure, elephants are smarter than us.
SchmifSchmurphinWippenFlanYen
If you judge the intelligence of a fish by its ability to climb a tree, but sure, elephants have nothing to offer.
HD226868
I hate that argument. Hate it hate it hate it. It completely ignores the concept of 'general intelligence'.
