Fun fact, snakes’ adaptations to their feeding style are actually not about the way the jaw hinges. Instead, their lower jaw is two separately moving bones held together with stretchy ligament tissue so that each side of the mouth can be “walked along” the prey item separately.
So the chef could eat the burger… but would follow along its longest dimension to do it, laying it down sideways.

Not one I’ve watched yet, but there definitely is some magic to listening to someone talking about something they really care about, if you connect with them as a communicator.
Like, I don’t have any relationship to Disney’s Buzzy animatronic myself, but I’ve rewatched Jenny Nicholson ranting about it more than once because it’s fun. Captain Disillusion talking about the effects work that inspired him also feels kinda similar.
Really appreciate her work - the educational stuff is good at putting things into a context and giving laypeople some mental coathooks to hang things off of, and I like how she emphasizes the video explainer format is a provider of jumping off points more than a source of real understanding.
Her discussion of media and news is maybe not as relevant here but still pretty on point in my experience.
MagosInformaticus@sopuli.xyzto memes@lemmy.world•Is it a rule that fan theories have to be so dark?30·4 months agoI think this is partly about giving yourself an out for liking childish things as a near- or young-adult. Kids shows commonly do include some Parental Bonus but extending that idea specifically to dark undercurrent plots that you have to read between the lines of the text seems like a way to feel “in the know” about something adult in the work while still consuming something you feel society expects you to have grown out of.
Then with a bit more maturing than that, you can hopefully just embrace childish joys earnestly, because joys are precious.

Noah is great. I Finished a Video Game also hits this sweet spot very well.
