Why are flies so dumb?

So I’m having breakfast at McDonald’s and this fly been hitting the window over and over again for 30 goddamn minutes and making all kinds of buzzing noises, why are flies so fcking dumb to realize there’s a transparent layer between them and the outside? After 30 minutes? I’m just curious

They have very short term memory 5
Aliens probably think the same about us 6
Their brains are too small 7

    I'd say the twerp who doesn't realise there is a vast difference in cognition between a fly and a human is the bigger moron here.

      Yeh 🐒🐵 monkeys have fewer cognitive abilities than humans but much more than a fly 🐝, a fly doesn't even have cognition, they don't have the mechanisms to understand recognition or reason or anything. Their senses attract them to certain smells, but they're unable to recognize a same smell from before, the same thing with remembering 2 seconds later that there's glass in front of them, they don't have the cognitive ability for remembering anything, they're more attracted to smells in the sense of a magnet, not in any cognitive way.

    You would be surprised. Only really intelligent animals like crows and dolphins can understand the existence of glass.

      Most animals will go around a piece of glass after bumping into it. Sight is not the only sense they rely on.

        That's why they never hit the same spot twice.
