The research behind this is wild. A cat has about 470 taste buds. You have 9,000. A dog has 1,700. So the cat in this video can barely taste that pancake, and that is the whole reason it sniffs the thing like it might be poison while the dog just bites straight in.
Taste barely works for a cat, so it leads with its nose. To a cat, smell is how you tell food from not-food, and safe from dangerous. The sniff you are watching is a safety check. Most of the time, the answer comes back no.
The reason runs back thousands of years, to the kind of animal a cat used to be. House cats come from small wild hunters that caught fresh prey, mice, birds, the odd lizard, and ate it on the spot. They did not scavenge or pick through rotting leftovers the way some animals do. So a strange smell has always meant one thing to a cat: possible poison. A cat that has never seen a pancake does not look at it and think food. It might as well be a wad of paper.
There is a second catch. Cats cannot taste sweet at all. Scientists found the gene for it is broken in every cat, from your couch cat to lions and tigers. So a sweet, syrupy pancake gives a cat nothing back. The smell is wrong, there is no sweetness to enjoy, and the texture feels off. It checks the thing and walks away.
The dog is running the opposite script. Dogs come from animals that lived off scraps near early human camps, and their bodies changed to match. A 2013 study in the journal Nature found that as wolves became dogs, they picked up ten genes for digesting starch, the soft, carb-heavy stuff in bread, rice, and yes, pancakes. Wolves are bad at digesting starch, but dogs got good at it. A dog was practically built to eat our leftovers, and that pancake is close to the exact food that turned a wolf into a dog.
Dogs also bolt their food because their ancestors had to. In a pack, anything you left sitting got stolen, so the fast eaters won and passed it down. A dog's 42 teeth are made for grabbing and tearing, not slow tasting. So the dog does not test the pancake. It just bites in.
One animal treats every meal like it could be a trap. The other treats every meal like it could get stolen. Both are still running survival rules that were written long before anyone held out a pancake.
@TBidmus@YusufAsunmogejo Lol this place is clsoe to the sultan's palace. I was there circa 2018/2019 and was shocked to see shirk being practiced in such a setting. The state government is aware. It is institutionalized shirk & shows that Sufis are the most influential set of muslims in Northern Nigeria
@fido_king@abdool_moh@lameen_boy Refurbished phones are generally cheaper anywhere in the world.
Even in developed western countries, there is a strong market for refurbished original phones.
Most of these refurbished iPhones end up in developing countries which makes iPhones look cheaper than in the West

The interesting thing about discipline is that once it becomes second nature, it doesn’t look like work anymore.
You just do it.
And the benefits keep compounding.
Elijah Muhammad claimed prophethood & claimed that Fard Muhammad was Allah.
But then again, maybe you and Haqiqatjou might find a way to excuse even that.
SNEAKO needs to step away from streaming for a while, and actually learn the basics of the religion.
What a confused soul.
