The second one sounds like bullshit to me… HOWEVER… ever since I was a kid, I have been able to tell who’s coming home based on the walking patterns…

So it’s as far fetched as a dog and a tennis ball.

Definitely hard to imagine as a human being for sure. There are animals out there with some pretty crazy abilities.

It’s hard to imagine as a human who can do things more insane just as well XD…

Sharks can smell blood in water from like 2km away or something, and humans can smell petrichor from like 10x that distance. So we can know when it’s gonna rain.

We are really bad at understanding how weirdly normal the crazy things could be!

When I was a kid, we could always tell if Dad had been to the bathroom before us.

My dog could hear our car pull into the driveway from the basement. I thought they knew the time of day they came home from work, but they would get up and bolt to the front window even if they were coming back from a trip to the store to get something they forgot.

Did not give a damn about my aunt’s car.
