Yeah, like could a dog from China understand the bark of a dog from the UK? Would they just bark at each other mindlessly when they meet because they have no idea what the other dog is barking about?
I'm telling you, this is the question that will break the universe. I want to meet the smartest person on Earth just to ask them this and see if they have an answer because this has been rattling my brain for the entire day.
Update: I've been doing some thorough research on google for the past half hour and I've come to the conclusion that there really is no actual way we can find out. They have different noise, sounds and smells and perhaps that can be translated into some types of thoughts and reactions?
All this thinking is exhausting. I'm going to bed.
The first one is really stupid, it's kindda like thinking that the universe revolves around the earth. We don't even know if we all think the same, your red could be my blue and we would have no way of knowing.
On the birthday thing, it would technically be your first, because you would have only been alive one year, from your actual birth date, 365 days later, you would be 1 year old. I used to fight with my mom about that when I was younger, it never ended well.
