Disappointed. Came here thinking it was an xHamster description.

This is cruelty to cucumbers

My cat is scared of his own shadow, but this cucumber thing doesn't work on him. I tried.

It's awesome how some of them just disappear from the screen when they jump as if they fly away.

How did the cucumber get started? It seems so random. Has anyone tried a banana or a carrot on their cat?

The cats think it's a snake. I'm sure anything that looked like a snake at first glance would work.

I've always wondered why we're naturally so scared of things much smaller than us that we've never seen before. If we have no reference for the fear why is it there?

"pussy vs cucumber" would be a better thread title

There are evolutionary advantages to being instinctively scared of snakes. If members of a species that lives around snakes had to learn that lesson from scratch every time out of the gate, the consequences would be catastrophic.

Other species are so instinctively afraid of pit vipers that some pit vipers have actually developed coloring patterns to make their heads not look the distinctive triangle shape that the animal world recognizes as a venomous snake. They just try to pass themselves off as a less fearsome snake because other animals even know to be more afraid of snakes with triangular heads.

In humans, researchers have found it much easier to intentionally create fear responses to snakes and spiders than random things. I guess it's just hardwired after millions of years of snakes biting and killing shit.

Look at the bible. The first chance we get to write shit down, what do we tell everyone to do? Stay the fuck away from snakes.

I guess that's what I'm getting at --- genetically hard coded information or memory if you will; even if that's just because every human who wasn't naturally afraid died before they reproduced.

Same thing has been expressed in wolves in their transformation into dogs by simply being unafraid of humans.

 

[Frode Falch]

Dont work on mine. Maybe because we dont have snakes here.

 

[Primitivo]

I'd never try to put my cucumber near a cat.

 

[NoGoodNamesLeft]

My cat is scared of his own shadow, but this cucumber thing doesn't work on him. I tried.

maybe if u stopped fucking with ur cat it would not be scared of everything.

 

[specter1001]

Just tried this. My cat didnt give two shits about the cucumber.

They did tests and even babies will recoil from a picture of a snake. Pretty much everything has a naturally evolved aversion to snakes. Pretty impressive really.
