what other animal cooks their food at all?

[–] Shadow@lemmy.ca 5 points 2 months ago

Many (crows, racoons, probably more) will use water to soften food, which is kinda similar. Control of fire I think is too difficult for proper cooking.

Some australian raptors will deliberately spread wildfires to hunt. So they probably cook some food, but it's not intentionally for that reason.

Well no other animal has mastered Extreme ultraviolet (EUV) lithography either.

Also this one time I shot up heroin whilst peaking on acid and MDMA whilst sucking a bulb of nitrous whilst having sex (fine it was a blow job)

Even some of the more intelligent apes haven't mastered that either

You win on drug count, but still tie on "doing all the drugs available" with multiple other mammals

Anyone who has tasted good karage will never argue with the assertion that fried chicken is the greatest accomplish of human civilization.
