    Alternatively, if it has worked for tens of millions of years, then why is no one else doing it?

      Maybe because anyone else that wants to use that needs to become them.

    Reptilian muscles fatigue waaay faster than mammalian’s. That’s probably the reason why chewing doesn’t work for them. Also, the white muscle from reptiles is very good at giving explosive force, which is exactly what they are doing instead…

    This is a physiological difference given their evolution. I remember it from college. Biologist here.

    And . the same applies to why we can’t catch lizards, they are so fast… Right?.. until they aren’t. The trick to catch them is to make them run a little ;p

    My impression is that carnivores need teeth that pierce and rip, so they can’t do much ruminating.

      Most mammalian carnivores have a sort of mix. They have the piercing canines, then their molars act like scissors to slice off hunks of meat. Herbivore and human molars are more for crushing.

    It must be working, considering the results.

    I misread “buttfucking” as “butterfucking”, which I am now going to start using.

    Yeah for real, being that tense while eating can’t be good for your digestive system.
