Can you post your project here?

Self-promotion, fundraising, and surveys are explicitly banned. Posts must showcase a genuinely intelligent animal, with the intelligence evident in the media itself, not just the title. Staged or AI-generated content is not allowed.

Before you post: Rule 8 explicitly bans self-promotion. Rule 3 also prohibits AI-generated content, which could apply to some side projects.

The rules, in their words

1. Animal must be genius: Your post must show an animal. The animal must be a genius. Very smart is okay. An animal just being an animal isn't.
2. Genius must be evident from pic/video: If your post relies on the title/caption/text to inform us that the animal's a genius, it's inappropriate.
3. No staged content: We're not going to dissect your submission to determine whether it's fake, but make sure your submission at least tries to depict a smart animal, and isn't obviously staged for internet points. AI-generated content counts as staged.
4. No animal or breed hate
5. No memes/comics/etc.
6. No reposts: No recent or popular reposts.
7. Don't be a dick: We're all animal lovers. That transcends race, gender, religion, politics, etc. Respect your fellow sub member and don't be a dick.
8. No spam/self-promotion/fundraising/surveys/etc.
9. No soapboxing: We’re here to appreciate smart animals in all capacities, not to be bummers.
