       | This is good. I always wonder how my dog sees me and perceives
       | our home. I noticed something really weird about sounds lately.
       | 
       | We moved into a new apartment just last week. On the second day,
       | we left her alone (we had to, for an hour). To monitor her, we
       | left a Macbook on the table, with the camera and microphone
       | turned on, so we could watch her from our phone.
       | 
       | Every 10 or 15 minutes, we heard a very loud bang through the
       | mic, and our dog got super scared - like a door closing super
       | fast and loud. I went to the apartment to check my dog (my phone
       | still connected to the Macbook), and while I was there, I heard
       | the loud bang two times through the phone, but not in person. So
       | definitely there are big sounds captured by a Macbook and my dog,
       | but not by human ears. It was a weird sensation.

         | My guess is geo restrictions.

       | But... this makes no sense.
       | 
       | First, one of the videos is all pink. But if you're a bird, and
       | have a bird's brain, it won't look "unusual" to you one bit.
       | 
       | So showing humans a video with weird pink overhue isn't sensible.
       | Instead, colours shoild be collapsed, or mapped, or something.
       | But not have a weird feeling.
       | 
       | And birds often have a wider view, so that should be visible, but
       | again not seem weird.
       | 
       | It's not like an animal is all "woha, everything is pink!"
