    Their rectangular eyes can also rotate so that they always have parallelism to the ground.

    Can you imagine your eyes doing that?

      Your eye does rotate!

      Look at your eyes in the mirror and rotate your head, look on the veins in your eye and you will see that your eye tries to stay parallel to the ground.

      In humans it is just much less obvious due to our round pupils.

        I can’t see my eyes in the mirror, due to the delay caused by the slow speed of light my reflection is blinking whenever I’m not.

          Now I’m imagining looking in the mirror and seeing myself with my eyes closed; it’s freaking me out.

        Yup. This is why it’s easier to read a clock that is upright, regardless of the orientation of your head.

          And the brain adjusts visual image with other information like our sense of gravity and equilibrium. So if you tilt your head, you don’t lose sense of up and down - unless you’re in zero-g.

    Also they scream

    And despite having hooves can climb an almost straight face of rock

    And they’ll eat a damn aluminum can and not have a health problem from it

      I am with crows.

      This sounds made up.

      Okay I feel like being a little pedantic. Goats don’t eat metal. Goats are actually very selective eaters. They can eat a wide diet but only eat the best first. The can thing mostly comes from back when labels were put on with gelatine based glues. Goats would chew on the can to get the glue off.

      Interestingly enough cows will eat metal. Not intently but cows are not good at being selective eaters so if it ends up in their mouth it is usually eaten regardless if the cow wants to or not. This leads to a condition called hardware disease, where metal collects in the cows stomach specifically the reticulum. This can lead to the stomach being punctured and the cow dying from sepsis.

    Fear of Goats, God and school shootings. Using these three things are all you need to scare you’re child into behaving well and in turn to be a good parent. I personally like to weave all three together at once

      I dunno if it’s a great idea to warn kids about the goat god who shoots up schools, but you do you I guess.
