I feel like we should create a language kinda like morse code for dolphins. See if we could actually have a conversation with one. I hate it when I see people say, "look my animal can talk." When in reality the defintion of talk is not to just make a noise that sounds like a word. But to give information, express Ideas and feelings with words. It's litteraly the defintion, so they aren't talking at all.

[@pumkin610]

At this point we'd have a more riveting conversation with an A.I.

[@undefinederror40404]

By that definition, there are animals that can talk. Sure a lot of it is copying, without knowing what they're saying, because they get a positive response. But I know of a parrot that would say "this empty", while holding the feeding cup, to communicate that they want food. They are expressing a need with words, so by what you said that qualifies as talking right? How about dogs or cats that use those word buttons? I'm a bit skeptical about it, but it often does look like they use it to convey a need or idea. They're not.. speaking though.. they press a button to make the sound 🤔

There was also a project for animals to learn human speech from a beluga whale. In fact this beluga spoke an uncanny human voice so well that a scientist once went to his tank and heard Get Out multiple times.

Honestly amazing stuff. Thanks science!

[@lucasgamezz140]

That's not the entire story. The entire story was that they discovered this because the director of the tank cleaning crew always only said "Get out" or "Out". Using what is essentially an underwater speaker. Can you guess how they figured out the beluga learnt? Exactly, a diver exited the tank, thinking bossman told him to get out.

And if it weren't for this legacy she probably would've been a much more successful scientist today than John Lily ever was. Peter deserved better than to be abandoned and left in shitty conditions while ALSO being heartbroken to the point that killing himself was better than living whatever hell he was thrown into (And really the cruelty towards dolphins IN GENERAL is pathetic considering they're supposedly "The smartest things that aren't people". Like bro, treat them better even if they're in captivity.)

I wonder did Margaret learn about his death.... Plus I wonder how the news learned about this, as I would assume all the people involved would want this situation swept under the rug as cleanly as possible 😂

[@youtubealias_yeah3541]

They shoulda came up with their own language in clicks, squeaks, and whistles. They could have easily used something to make those types of noises, although it wouldn't be directly from the person. If given enough context, I think the dolphins could have learned it as long as they created a well formed, thought out, limited vocabulary language.

[@Foogi9000]

That's asking a lot from the 1960s and a man who was higher than the dolphins themselves.

[@youtubealias_yeah3541]

@@Foogi9000 Yeah man, unfortunately you got a strong point and probably an explanation for why not.

[@anerrorhasoccurred8727]

It might be hard to tell if you’re really “talking” to the animals or just teaching them to associate certain sounds with food, but building off their own sounds seems like the obvious first step.

Aside from the messed up shit that came after, at 3:31 that has got to be the cutest sound ever. Also sounds like the Splatoons sounds they make

its astounding that so many people supported this project and none of them stopped to think "hey how the fuck are dolphins supposed to speak to us?"

[@ranaevalentine9876]

On the subject of the human/animal communication boundary, there's a pretty pervasive belief throughout various pockets of the world that various animals CAN speak, but they know that if humans figure this out they'll put them to work.

Hey. Dolphins arent just mindless pleasure-junkies that don't care who they hurt. They have good drug ettiquette. They chomp a defenseless puffer fish to get high on its toxins, then sling it to another dolphin to catch and chew. Puffer, puffer, pass.

I will say, I knew well about Lilly and his project with dolphins well already, not least because I've loved dolphins since I was young, thanks to a game that may have been at least slightly inspired by that experiment: Ecco the Dolphin!
