minus-squareBoxedFenders [any, comrade/them]linkfedilinkEnglish3•8 hours agoThere’s no way a human’s bite is only 30% less than a dog’s. Our jaws have shitty leverage to chomp down hard.
minus-square@[email protected]linkfedilinkEnglish4•8 hours agoWe are omnivores and do a lot of chewing. Dogs don’t really chew, just rip. Some great apes that have more raw plants in their diet even have a bony ridge on their skull that the jaw muscles attach to. Our jaws actually have great leverage, our molars are very close to where the jaw muscle attaches.
