    Their rectangular eyes can also rotate so that they always have parallelism to the ground.

    Can you imagine your eyes doing that?

      Your eye does rotate!

      Look at your eyes in the mirror and rotate your head, look on the veins in your eye and you will see that your eye tries to stay parallel to the ground.

      In humans it is just much less obvious due to our round pupils.

          And the brain adjusts visual image with other information like our sense of gravity and equilibrium. So if you tilt your head, you don’t lose sense of up and down - unless you’re in zero-g.

    Fear of Goats, God and school shootings. Using these three things are all you need to scare you’re child into behaving well and in turn to be a good parent. I personally like to weave all three together at once
