Scientists proved that human babies aren’t born afraid of snakes.

Babies: "Oh look, a smooth, wiggly rope!" 👶 Adults: "If that thing comes within 50 feet of me, I am burning the house down." 🔥🏃‍♂️

some of us knew

wow another WEIRD study

I saw a video recently where a toddler dragged in a snake, and the mother jumped on top of the couch, telling the child, who clearly isn't afraid of what he was holding, to take it back outside.

The hardware ships ready but the fear does not. Infants spot a snake faster than a flower on a screen, yet reach out with curiosity. The flinch gets installed later, usually by watching an adult flinch. Nature wires the alarm. Nurture decides what trips it.

Even snakes adapted to people bite. How did they ever get approval for this experience? Whatever parent allowed their child to be used should have their children taken away.

This still looks so wrong

Do they even know what a snake is? lol

These gave me the heebee jeebees.

I love snakes

Snake: "Now, this is what I call a buffet".

Now put that same snake in front of a melanated baby the outcome would be different because of the DNA memory.
