Eh, this might be true on a crt tv where you’d see flickering or rolling, but modern tvs are always on with no blanking and just show the same image it was showing during refresh

Yep.

10-20 years ago dogs started being able to watch TV.

Mine's super into it and even video games.

My dog will chase other dogs that run out of the frame. We have a TV on a wall in the basement, that the other side has stairs on it up to the main level, and this dog will watch TV, and when a dog looks like it runs off the screen to the right will go tearing off, to run up the stairs to search for these vile intruders.

The same way I did when my ps2 controller broke, the dance dance revolution mat or rock band drum set.

My mom got a channel called Dog TV so her Pomeranian wouldn’t be lonely while she was at work. He loves it so much that if someone changes the channel to watch their own shows, he starts barking at them to change it back.

My dog loves TV as well. She is always interested if there is a dog on TV.

If mine sees one that looks like him tho, it freaks him the fuck out.

I dunno if he expects it to be a reflection or what. But he'll go ape shit.

It's meaningless anyway, CFF does not translate directly to a human (or animal) refresh rate or FPS. Plus we humans (CFF 50-90Hz) have enjoyed cinema at 24 FPS for over a century now, and some stop motion animation is 12 and we can still get engrossed in it.

Why is this entire post even showing up on my front page? It's clearly not true if someone thinks 5 seconds about this, the fuck?

For real, my dog gets sucked in sometimes, like he’s glued to that thing
