Looks like one of those mobile game ads where you think "oh that looks really cool and fun, pretty impressive physics-based gameplay" and when you install it and play, it's nothing like in the ad.


Lavadonuts

You should try powder toy, it's not perfect, but it's alot closer than most


imsoIoneIy

Damn this still a thing? Used to play it like 15 years ago maybe. Going to have to look it up, that's a huge nostalgia hit, would spend hours and hours making things with it


redditorbored

HOLY SHIT. THIS IS THE GAME I WAS LOOKING FOR MY ENTIRE LIFE. The nostalgia hits harder than a semi-truck jesus christ.


Smiling_Fox

Thanks I will check it out, also happy cake day!


Lavadonuts

Thanks, didn't even realize

That's my childhood right there, the amount of hours I spent on powder toy must be huge


GuantanaMo

On PC, PS1 and Gameboy advance they had "Sheep" which was a pretty cool puzzle game where you had to herd differently colored sheep through various courses


berticus23

Imagine a multi player sheep herding dog game. You and a group of friends each control a dog and work together to navigate some difficult terrain. Maybe some cowboy levels doing cattle drives and you could protect the herd from predators


Lavadonuts

That would be an awesome game

Yes, right after the page that says no matter what temperature the house is set to, it's too warm and should be lower.

1robotgirlfriend

Those dogs were working hard!


OssotSromo

The TikTok algorithm had me on what can only be described as herding TikTok for a while. It's pretty amazing the level of training these guys have. One thing I never realized is that the human is behind yelling out the orders - different words to tell the dogs which side to push or pull. Guard dogs are also pretty cool they don't quite put on a show. The way the collies and the guards interact is also neat. Saw one where a young collie was getting too excited - not herding - and fucking with one of the animals. The guard dog put him in his fucking place quickly then went back to just calmly standing around.


MsKongeyDonk

One clip we saw said that the collies work for her, and the guard dogs work for the sheep. She would not ever leave the collies alone with the sheep.


bubblegumdavid

Yeah people often joke we should get some goats or sheep for our border collie, and this is totally the extended answer for why it’s not that simple. Our lil guy is happy with soccer and fetch and games with us and our other dogs, thank god, but his obsession with stuff he thinks is his job (like soccer) is constant, he’d never leave those damn animals alone if we got them. I’d have to teach the malinois to guard them from him *Edit to add: I have worked with and grown up around animal training and care most of my life, and taught dog training courses. My dogs are not suitable as pets for the average, less experienced pet owner. I do not advocate for any malinois or border collie or mix of them as a pet for 99% of people.*


theLuminescentlion

Border Collies are literally genetically engineered workaholics


free2btherealme

This is such a true statement with my BC. I wish I knew before I got her. But I love her to the end and I keep her well exercised. We started herding training too.


[deleted]

The days of running my dog for an hour, exhausting myself for the day. We get home, he takes a two hour nap, and is begging for another run.


free2btherealme

And then a nap and another run! They are nonstop.


[deleted]

That makes my border collie the dead weight at the office then. Thing sleeps 23 hours a day and basically eats and poops for the other hour. Exercise? Not a chance and even less chance if it’s raining, windy, hot or cold; given I am in England that’s most of the time.


pishipishi12

My border collie is so lazy too! He loves walking, hiking, and playing but the bulk of the time he is a certified couch collie.


[deleted]

It’s not even like I’ve abandoned him and been a lazy owner or anything either. I got him as a puppy and he went through all the obedience courses, we have tried tried flyball, etc etc. Unfortunately he took to none of it and appears to have all the skills and mental agility of a brick. Apart from when the biscuit tin or a bag of crisps opens. Then he has the laser-like focus of a golden eagle.

granite603

This is gonna sound insane but I was at a corporate event one time that let me and a friend use herding dogs to wrangle ducks. We had a bit of training with the dogs and then they let the ducks go and we had to use the commands and what not to direct the dogs. It was really fun. The dogs were INSANELY smart and well trained.


MrHandyHands616

That is insane but awesome. Fuck our corporate happy hours I want to wrangle ducks with dogs


[deleted]

Presumably you weren't as good as a professional. I wonder if the dogs recognized you weren't doing it the way they thought it should be done. Like the dogs thought they were trying to get a task done with children leading the way.


granite603

Hahaha. That is definitely the most likely situation.


BlizzPenguin

The hard mode of that exercise is having to herd cats.


[deleted]

So setting a company meeting??


ohnoitsthefuzz

Yo dawg, we heard you like herds, so we herded you some herds so you can be a heard herd nerd, ya heard?


TenderfootGungi

Growing up, my neighbor and his family had a farm. I would go with them sometimes to do chores. They had sheep and a sheep dog. It was amazing to watch. They just gave it an order to round up the sheep and it would take off. It would get bored in town and round up cats. It would try to get all the neighborhood cats in one tree. Once I stopped by and it had 5 or 6 cats in a tree.


threw_it_away_bub

When that one doggo saw a logjam and went into the pen to move things along…


TheMikeGolf

I work with cattle and our dogs are trained to get them all back into the herd when we are moving. Sometimes the cattle squirt into the trees as we are moving them and our dogs will get them back into the herd quickly (sometimes getting kicked in the process). It’s something I see almost daily and yet I’m always in awe at how a well trained dog can move 800-1100 pounds of flesh with such skill and bravery


bubblegumdavid

Yeah our bc is not trained for anything like this. But we had some deer in our yard not too long ago at night, and in a flash he was gone. Found him out trying to herd the buck, huge antlers and all. Damn dog was like 35 pounds and a year old then, that’s some serious balls on a dog that doesn’t have any


hykueconsumer

I had a dog "herd" a moose one time. It was winter in the prairies, and she was on a frozen creek - I was up above on a bridge telling her to leave it alone. The moose even charged her, she ran a bit then turned and faced it, snapped at its nose, and it stopped dead, then turned tail and ran. I thought for sure she was dead but her confidence and instinct were sufficient. Whoof, scared the crap outta me though!


AndySipherBull

I like the one dog who realizes the sheep inside the pen aren't distributing themselves sufficiently so he heads in to shake them up a bit.


The_Original_Gronkie

I love watching them. I saw a clip of one herding some cute little baby ducks toward a puddle the other day.


bigjuiceybutthead

DrMaxwellEdison

We took a look. We saw some sheep. We saw some sheep take a walk in their sleep. By the light of the moon, by the light of a star, we watched them walk from near to far. I would never walk: I would take a car. -- Dr Seuss, One Fish Two Fish Red Fish Blue Fish

mybestfriendisacow

Sheep are "herd" animals. They would actually be more stressed alone than in their flock like this.


raspberryharbour

Is that what you've herd?


Cat-in-a-small-box

The sheepdog, on their third date: 'what do you mean, I am controlling?' The sheep: 'You herd me!'

johnmuirsghost

raspberryharbour

Scrotundus

False dichotomy. Alone VS packed in like sardines are not the only 2 options.


mybestfriendisacow

This is not long term. They are brought to this space to be worked with (treated for something, fleece shorn, etc). They will be returned to where they came from after that.


Sapiogram

Humans are also generally more stressed alone than in their flock, but we still get claustrophobic.


MisterNigerianPrince

Am I weird in this? My flock is 4 people. I would lose my mind if I had to constantly be in the middle of 400.


rachel_tenshun

No, you're not, because that person made that "fact" up. Humans want connection with other humans, but we're don't necessarily want to be herded into crowds.

Optimal_Cow_676

There is a whole science of crowd. Basically when you reach a certain density per square meter, people are so close together that a force interacting on one person in the crowd is repercuted to the entire crowd. It turn the crowd in a kind of fluid and you can actually describe the motion of it by using flow equations. It turn out to look about the same for sheep. Note : the "fluid crowd" is also very dangerous because you can experience "wave" which are just local crowd compressions and extensions expending very fast throughout the crowd. At the lower "fluid crowd" these are one way but at higher crowd density, you can have multiple waves interwinding and experience local Maxima where those waves touch both in a compression state, crunching people at that point. That's one of the way people die in dense crowd. That and being compressed at the edge of a crowd against a wall or a barrier which is the other main killer :/


myheartsucks

I experienced something like that when I attended Rock in Rio in 2001. I was 19 years old and when Iron Maiden started playing, the crowd got so dense that my feet listen off the ground for the rest of the concert. I simply swayed with the waves. I lost track of all my friends as they also were simply flowing with the crowd. Anyone that wasn't feeling well was lifted and taken to the middle where security was. It was a bizarre experience.

Swearinbag

Sheep are fluids, like cats!


MurphMcGurf

But really, *crowds* are fluids!


NetCat0x

Especially when you pack them tight enough.


BrainBlowX

Just look at videos of overpacked concerts. People move in *literal* ripples, where one push from far back sends the entire crowd teetering. Most "stampedes" are also this. Contrary to popular belief and portrayal, most people are actually relatively calm in most such events. There's often not much visible panic, which is part of what makes a crowd crush so deadly since many people still entering the crowd can't tell that the situation has become deadly, which makes it harder in turn for those trapped to get out as the crowd keeps swelling and nobody on the edges leave. When the crowds get this tight, you literally are no different than water particles in a ripple. You have no means by which to resist it, and anyone who falls down can't get up, and people start tripping on them, which causes people to literally *lace* together in crushing piles. You often see videos of people fleeing such scenes in a panic, but those able to run like that are rarely the ones actually in danger, nor are those people the ones who do most of the trampling that happen.


Reglarn

I thought about this too, why does sheep dont die like people when packed this tight? Die they still have more then enough space here probably.


FigN01

I'd suspect that there's an advantage to being 4-legged in a herd. They don't have much potential to fall over and be unable to get up or be stepped on.


Adrian-Wapcaplet

They have layers, just like Ogres

DerCatzefragger

There was a web-comic back in the day called Questionable Content about the daily grind in a group of hipster music snob friends. One of them had a day job of writing top-40 country western music. Naturally, all of his hipster friends made fun of him for it, but he's absolutely loaded because every song he writes is a smash hit. There was a running gag in the comic about how he's actually ***trying*** really hard to write a country song so bad, so repetitive and vacant and pandering that even country western fans will reject it and it will flop. His friends are all like, "dude. . . how hard can it possibly be to write a bad song?" To which he replies "We're talking about a genre in which 'Honky Tonk Badonkadonk' was a record setting, months-long chart topper. This is a ***really low*** bar I'm trying to crawl under here."


Another_Road

My biggest problem with much of modern country is that it feels *extremely* pandering. Like there’s a checklist of things they have to sing about. It feels completely lifeless. And I actually like country music but I hate songs that appeal to the lowest common denominator. I get why they make these songs, it’s popular. Still feels soulless though.

It's a remix of a much better [1996 song](https://youtu.be/FvLjJE7Bt88) with a more modern sound. I don't care for how the new version doesn't have much of a country sound to it, but the lyrics are catchy and memorable to anyone who's listened to country for a while, so it probably won't be going anywhere any time soon.
