Imagine if humans did this with human babies.

Sees baby unattended for literally 0.03 seconds “Your mother has abandoned you, but I shall raise you like my own!”

I hear that this happens sometimes, but nowhere near normal times, more like during evacuations from warzone and so on

when I was a teenager, I was in the supermarket with my mom and my baby sister.

My mom wanted to quickly grab something from the other side of the store, so I stayed at my sister in her stroller.

I was standing next to the stroller, playing with my gameboy.

When my mom came back, a woman berated her (and indirectly me) that it’s so irresponsible to leave my sister unsupervised, as I wasn’t paying attention.

Mind you, I was literally 30cm next to my sister. Who was sitting in her stroller doing nothing but playing with a toy and looking around.

That’s pretty much accurate as to how the state reinforces helicopter parenting nowadays. Institutionalized anxiety starting from the 80s with John Walsh’s kid’s murder.

You leave the stroller for a moment to grab your take-away order and come back to a crow repeatedly attempting to insert a still-living snail into the baby’s face. The snail is confused, but calm. The crow is frustrated. The baby won’t stop screaming, further frustrating the crow. Just eat the snail, idiot.

Cats will do this with their fucking owners, they just assume we’re incompetent because we’re not catching any critters, so they have to catch them for us so we don’t starve.
Plus i’m pretty sure this is part of why many cats insist on joining us in the bathroom, they gotta keep watch while we’re vulnerable taking a dump.

I wonder if mine are broken. They will only play with what they catch, never serve me the catch. Though most of the time it’s only stick or some cabletie, occasionally iguana, all for their entertainment.

The beard is fake, it’s held on by glue and strings.

Armadillos also can carry leprosy, so this is sound advice on multiple levels.
