wolves just kept eating our waste

You may wanna edit this to say trash, it sounds like you’re saying wolves followed us around eating our shit, which afaik isn’t a theory for dog domestication.

afaik

Well… it actually is a theory. Like, all modern dogs love to eat human shit, so there’s been some evolutionary theories about how wolves/dogs of old have eaten human shit as an easy meal and thus part of their diets, and that might have aided in domestication and all that.

And now that I’ve already started to discuss dogs eating shit: My personal theory is, that rural dogs in India have human shit as a major source of their nutrition, since the sanitary conditions in many rural areas there are shitting in the bushes, and there’s a lot of village dogs…

Technically garbage rather than trash, if we’re being pedantic

I always thought us up here in America’s hat called it garbage, and those guys down in Canada’s shorts called it trash.

I’m 31 and just googled the difference. Ohh fiuuuuuuuuuuck!

That is mostly how it works now; words change meaning. Nobody I know says ‘trash can’, it’s ‘garbage can’. But yeah, they originally meant different things
