I’m trying not to be pissed at the ignorance of extended family right now. Elderly family member was at their annual check up today. He’s weak and frail. They convinced him he needs the mRNA flu shot. After the shot, he collapsed, no heartbeat/taken via…

Dogs circle. Then they stop. Their bodies point north or south. A 2013 study recorded the body orientation of 70 dogs from 37 breeds during 1,893 defecations and 5,582 urinations over two years. Under calm geomagnetic conditions the dogs aligned their spines along the north-south magnetic axis and avoided the east-west line. When solar activity made the field fluctuate, the preference disappeared. The researchers measured orientation with a compass in open fields, off leash, and they ruled out the sun’s direction, weather, and the owner’s position as causes. Migratory birds and salmon detect the same field and use it for long-range navigation. Dogs appear to detect it as well. The study authors noted that the alignment occurs only when the field is quiet, roughly one-fifth of daylight hours in their observations. They proposed that the dog may be centering an internal magnetic map against visible landmarks, the way a person pauses on a trail to match a compass to the ground. A later study from the same research group fitted 27 hunting dogs with GPS collars and released them on scent trails in Czech forests. Before the dogs set off on the return, many first moved a short distance, about 18 meters on average, along the north-south axis regardless of the actual direction home. The short run looks like a compass reading taken before the longer navigation. Small bar magnets placed in the grass shift the alignment. In parks in Eilat, dogs that normally faced north-south changed orientation when a magnet was nearby, an effect large enough to disrupt the sense even though the local field remains weak. Not every later observation matches the original result. A 2022 replication in five urban parks in Lyon recorded orientations during excretion and found no detectable preference for the magnetic north-south axis. The dogs’ positions were non-random relative to the parks themselves. The authors suggested that traffic, other dogs, and the layout of city spaces may override the magnetic cue, and that volunteer observers may introduce bias when magnetic conditions are not logged. The original pattern therefore appears only under restricted conditions: open ground, a stable field, and no competing cues strong enough to override it. The behavior is measurable when those conditions hold. The reason the sense is expressed during defecation remains unknown.
