@mur2501 most qualities, even diseases, are both a strengtha nd a weakness in some ways
@jtb Slugs I can find cute... most worms I do not.. earth worms can be a bit cute and there are a few exceptions. But most worms are gross.
@freepeoplesfreepress if destroying things and eating allmy food was enough for me to not find something cute then I wouldnt find human babies cute either :)
@freepeoplesfreepress That wouldnt explain the people who find mice cute (such as me).
@bonifartius I find everything in this pciture cute except for the top right human
@Jimbo262 The one I used to have on my website but took down?
@LouisIngenthron there is nothing remotely scientific about such a poll, and yea there will be bias for sure.
@LouisIngenthron There is a cuteness to all of these for me. But there is also a fear of being bitten or stung in 3 of those cases.. While I wouldnt want to coudle or touch any of them I absolute can see them as cute in their own ways.

@freemo There is the other side of this, look incredibly ugly, don't get eaten. There is a canny valley of edible food ?
So started a poll here: https://qoto.org/@freemo/111296289415112384
It is very early but so far 80%+ think all animals, including insects, are cute :)
@Extelec I dont see anyone rushing to want to eat Trump :)

@freemo Are you sure its just not an evolutionary trait on behalf of the meat. Look Cute, don't get eaten.
Do you find almost all animals cute?
@LouisIngenthron Perhaps, but its not as unusual as it sounds... I do know lots of people that find almost all animals to be cute. maybe ill do an informal poll to see how much in the margins I really am :)
@LouisIngenthron While there might be some truth to that I find things cute that are completely foreign to human likeness. In fact I find most animals, even insicts, to be cute.
Also if this truely is a disadvantage to wanting to eat them I would think our brains would have created some extra barriers.
I just added a feature to Fedipage that now lets me combine the activity from multiple gitlab servers into a single git activity heatmap.
Check out my home page where I now combine all the git servers i work on in one activity heat map:
If you want the code to replicate my site (a hugo based static site generator with full ActivityPub support) check out: https://fedipage.com
Why are we genetically programmed to find animals so cute? I would think as an omnivore finding your food cute would be counterproductive.
My hypothesis is that we are supposed to eat meat as a last resort and prefer vegetables. So their cuteness acts as a deterrent so we prefer them less...
Though the fact that meat tastes so good would seem to be a counterargument to that theory...
@TheOldGuy Even when not in heat?
@TheOldGuy Camel can be quite aggressive when in heat im told...
