      This post wasn’t alarming until I read your comment. Now I have concerns about Sesame Street

      Pretty terrifying ones too if you’re an edible sized creature.

    As a young child I was apparently terrified of Big Bird.

    It all makes sense now.

    I think most countries with their own sesame street have slightly different characters. We don’t have big bird, we have the superior Pino.

      Garibaldo from Brazil is the most… questionable one for those that haven’t seen it. https://muppet.fandom.com/wiki/Garibaldo

      big bird is the least used character in international versions. possibly because the height makes it hard to operate but that’s speculation on my part.

    Especially since he can’t fly, and therefore doesn’t need them to see where he’s going in the air.

      He’s clearly in some sort of quantum flux. They keep waffling if he is real or just Big Bird’s imaginary friend.

    That’s what we thought until it turned out that Elmo was the real predator all along.

      In retrospect, we should have noticed sooner. He was constantly asking kids to tickle him, after all.

    Humans have forward facing eyes and we were prey as well as predators.

    Now I’m thinking about what would be big enough to hunt big bird

      Humans have the need to kill everything bigger than us that doesn’t show the proper amount of respect.

      Humans have never been anything more than coincidental prey. We’ve been killing animals much bigger and outwardly scarier than us back into prehistoric times. Hell, man, humans used to hunt mammoths with pointy sticks. We’re apex predators.
