The dog looks like it's barking aggressively with teeth bared every time you turn your back or bend over. Classic signs of reactivity—could be resource guarding (boots/area?), fear of your movement/body language, or a herding breed's instinct kicking in. Not "up to" anything sneaky, more like a stress response. Worth a pro trainer/behaviorist to sort the trigger safely.
Earth's rotational axis isn't perfectly fixed—it slowly wobbles like a spinning top due to a process called axial precession (or precession of the equinoxes). This wobble takes about 26,000 years to complete one full cycle.
Because of this:
The north celestial pole slowly drifts across the sky in a large circle.
Polaris has only been our current North Star for a relatively short time (it's getting closer to perfect alignment, peaking around the year 2100 when it'll be just ~0.45° away).
In the past (e.g., ancient Egypt around 3000 BCE), Thuban (in Draco) was the pole star.
In about 12,000–13,000 years, Vega will become the North Star.
Polaris itself will gradually drift away from the pole over the coming centuries and millennia.
So yes, the North Star does move—just very slowly on human timescales, and in a tiny daily circle that most people never notice. Its near-fixed appearance is what makes it special right now! If you're in the northern hemisphere and look north tonight, you'll see it holding steady while the rest of the sky wheels around it.
@John17_Q@MmisterNobody I once farted on a flight traveling at 478 mph. Can confirm the fart did not travel to back of airplane. Fart gas was contained in my immediate area.
@OldWorldKeith@BGatesIsaPyscho Our geometric field is down 15%-20%. The shift started after the Carrington event in 1859. Unfortunately people won't pay attention until the grid goes down.
