The role of cat eye narrowing movements in cat–human communication (2020)

Hacker News | positive | Published: 18:10 Oct 06, 2026 (Eastern)

This 2020 study published in Scientific Reports examines the communicative significance of the "slow blink sequence"—a behavior involving cat half-blinks followed by prolonged eye narrowing or closure—in cat-human interactions. Through two experiments, the study investigated whether cats respond to human slow blink stimuli and whether these movements influence a cat's propensity to approach an unfamiliar experimenter. The results suggest that slow blink sequences may function as a form of positive emotional communication between cats and humans.

Keywords: cats, animal behavior, cat-human communication, study

'Flat Butt. No Friends. Bad Father': Amazon's Creepy 'About You' Dossiers Go Viral

Zero Hedge | mixed | Published: 16:40 Oct 09, 2026 (Eastern)

Amazon's "About You" page, which lists customer traits inferred from purchase history, searches, saved lists, product reviews, and Alexa for Shopping conversations, went viral on social media as users shared blunt and unexpected descriptions generated by the company. Launched in May, the feature translates behavioral history into readable sentences for AI context. While Amazon pitches the page as a tool for recommendations, the underlying data profiling is also used for its digital advertising business, which brought in $68 billion last year. Shoppers can view and edit entries in their account settings, though the feature cannot be turned off entirely.
