Quoting the article:

Most anurans retract and close their eyes repeatedly during swallowing. Eye retraction may aid swallowing by helping to push food back toward the esophagus.

That’s about normal frogs, not the mutated ones. They use their eye balls to push food down their throats.

What. the. fuck. What a terrible day to be literate.

My God. If wind hits my eyes it hurts. Can’t imagine them hitting against a steak. And the jarring effect on vision. Why? Why do this?

This is for strictly mildly interesting material. If it’s too interesting, it doesn’t belong. If it’s not interesting, it doesn’t belong.

This is obviously an objective criteria, so the mods are always right. Or maybe mildly right? Ahh… what do we know?

Just post some stuff and don’t spam.
