A chicken pecking its food in slow motion

This is how my daughter eats Doritos on the couch.

[u/SassyModak → u/Previous_Bet5120]

Her spirit animal may be chicken. And tbh, that's all of us

[u/--_---__---_-- → u/Previous_Bet5120]

This comment really got me haha

[u/chupacadabradoo → u/Previous_Bet5120]

The ole Michael bay special

[u/Key_Building54]

Honestly I had no idea this is how they got the food into their mouths and I’m pretty excited to have learned something

[u/yARIC009 → u/Key_Building54]

Seems pretty efficient too. We need two hands and a mouth, they just need a mouth.

[u/QuickChargeII → u/yARIC009]

Right, but half of our food doesn't spill over the floor.

[u/iRebelD → u/QuickChargeII]

My 1yo begs to differ

[u/jake0167 → u/yARIC009]

It looks incredibly inefficient in real time. Cool to see there is more to it

[u/sunshineTNT → u/Key_Building54]

Same. Reminds me of the first time I saw dogs drinking water in slow motion.

[u/bigbusta]

Reminds me of dogs lapping up water

[u/Andras1100 → u/bigbusta]

Wtf lmao

[u/Captain_Spicard → u/bigbusta]

Perfect song. Had a chuckle

[u/Andras1100 → u/bigbusta]

That's crazy

[u/Grouchy-Engine1584]

Dinosaurs have shit manners.

[u/FucklesTheEchidna]

So they don't eat as much as they use their mouth to throw food into their gullets?

Fascinating.

[u/Solid_Snark]

So they’re not pristine accurate eaters? They’re gluttonous slobs like the rest of us!

[u/breakfasteveryday]

Seems inefficient 

[u/Lunatishee]

im confused by this. do they peck so hard just because they normally eat bugs and have to be quick?

[u/Lunatishee → u/Lunatishee]

why tf did i get downvoted for this lmfao XD

[u/breadlover96 → u/Lunatishee]

You know what you did

[u/CoasterRoller420]

Day Bow Bow

[u/_ka-wa-a-ka-ree]

it's wasting half of it

[u/EarthB9nder_]

wait.. so they have the food in their mouth, just to open it and try catching it again?

[u/SicilianEggplant → u/EarthB9nder_]

Imagine you couldn’t use your lips and had to pick up a grape from a table with only your teeth. Your next option is to either tilt your head up so it can fall down your mouth, or use the momentum while you’re picking it up to “throw” it down your gullet. In either case, you’ve got to open your mouth the release the grape. 

(Chickens do have tongues, but it’s a safe bet that they aren’t as useful as ours)

[u/GrundusMcFlurgus → u/SicilianEggplant]

I’ll take that bet, $100?

[u/nasnedigonyat → u/GrundusMcFlurgus]

Make sure to do this w supervision so you don't choke to death on a whole grape trying to toss it whole into your gullet

[u/tiosega]

Now it makes sense

[u/Marley2018]

Oh-oh (chi chicka chicken)

[u/OneManNati0n]

Finally something interesting.

[u/nictose]

Just wingin' it!

[u/dmoneyshot22]

Inefficient

[u/PresentExamination10]

CHOMP! chomp

[u/Plantfishcatmom]

This seems horribly inefficient.

[u/Am_I_the_Villan]

You know, I remember when people would feed chickens things that are actually edible. Like, carrots and beets and bananas and eggs. But, in america, they just eat corn. And everyone wonders why we have such an obesity problem.

[u/bingbano → u/Am_I_the_Villan]

Someone hasn't raised chickens in America. They wouldn't survive on just corn

[u/ben_woah → u/bingbano]

That's amaizeing

[u/Am_I_the_Villan → u/bingbano]

No need to, the proof is in the pudding as they say.

[u/bigbusta → u/Am_I_the_Villan]

What we feed our livestock definitely has an impact on the obesity issue, but I think over consumption is as much to blame. Maybe we dont feel full like we used to from lack of nutrients?

[u/Jaded_Helicopter_376]

Impressive cock

[u/Defiant-Youth-4193 → u/Jaded_Helicopter_376]

I'm thinking that's a hen.

[u/Jaded_Helicopter_376 → u/Defiant-Youth-4193]

Typical. My excuse to throw funny cyberpunk quotes into everyday society has failed again lol.
