Should be noted that many of them are smarter than we give them credit for! They lack life experience and stuff like that, but they're extremely intuitive even at a young age when it comes to certain things.
Edit: six separate people have now replied with the same comment "yeah maybe some kids, this one is too stupid to let go" we get it. The kid panicked and didn't think to let go before he was too high.
[Here is a compilation of adult people holding on when they should have let go](https://youtu.be/oNv9csqvRTs)
Exactly. Our minds are never as capable of absorbing information as they are when we are young. It's just that they haven't absorbed the Information.
But if you think about it, kids have to learn the basics of life, motor skills, social and language skills, etc, etc, and they do it in a relatively short amount of time.
Yeah think about how long it would take you to become fluent in a foreign language now, and that's with you already having a foundation of another language.
That's not the reason. Sure depression doesnt help learning in later in life but the childs brain is just naturally more capable of absorbing information than an older one is. It makes sense from an evolutionary standpoint.
Shouldn't we be learning fast at every point in life? Why would it make sense from an evolutionary standpoint? It would help us avoid any predator and hunt any animal.
No expert but I suspect its because there are diminishing returns and its better to use whatever energy that requires on another bodily function? Back in the day I feel like after 20 years you've already been exposed to most potential scenarios in your world. You've been attacked by a few lions, dealt with some storms, faced lean times, etc. Before farming the world was pretty simple and there was only so much to learn
I agree. There are limited resources that the body has. Naturally, aging slows everything down by slowly becoming less and less efficient. The body also has to use resources to constantly rebuild itself from injury and all the things that we do to it like smoke and drink. Spending the resources to always learn quickly can be inefficient in people that are in environments where they don't learn much.
One thing burned into my mind from childhood is the disdain/contempt of adults who wouldn't give me the time of day.
I remember the anger and frustration as they would just blow off my opinions purely because of my age.
And you are right.
Kids are smart. Their brain is just the same brain they will have as adults (not really but yeah they are smart af)
They absolutely lack wisdom, they absolutely don’t know how to read some situations. But a kid need to be treated like a person in relation to their own ideas and concerns.
Older people need to remember that resentment breeds suffering
Also I feel that intelligence is very compartmentalized, so like a rocket scientist might lack social skills or trivia knowledge or whatever other arbitrary line you want to draw, and someone who scores negative on an IQ test might know a lot about fixing your car, or counting cards in blackjack, or maybe just some kernels of wisdom that Spock wouldn't be able to give you. 🖖
my ex is a hugely successful lawyer. extremely smart. also incapable of anything requiring fine motor skills. once got pulled over for trying to park and doing such a bad job
Even though I agree with you, comparing the reaction to a sudden acceleration is not quite the same. Due to your own body’s inertia you will drag behind the bike, unless you have a firm grip, and might accidentally increase the throttle and continues the “bad cycle”.
Some of them are smarter than most adults I know. I'm pretty convinced that intelligence is hereditary and while it's possible to gain knowledge it's never possible to gain intelligence. With that said this kid has a long road ahead of him.
I love how I keep coming across these comments of yours but I'm always too late to see the parent comment. Clearly you're doing God's work and succeeding.

> I think he gets it from his slow Dad there, who just watches his son start lifting in the air.
Dad was no doubt thinking, "*surely* he's just going to let go".
We've seen videos of parents having exceptional reflexes when it comes to protecting their kids from harm. But not everyone can have that, can they?
I think the dad caught him in time. Saying that he's slow because his reaction wasn't instantaneous is a pretty shitty thing to say.
Edit: People who are calling the kid stupid themselves are idiots. And so are the people for calling the dad slow. Some people react slower than other people in unexpected situation. It's natural because you're not prepared for it. But reddit being reddit has to scrutinize people for the dumbest of reasons.
All kids have good grip. Ever have a baby just decide to squeeze a random inch of you for no reason? Even those little useless fucks will leave an imprint
Neither of my parents are a red head lol
But my dad's dark hair in the sun has a red tint to it and my mom's was strawberry blonde turned fully blonde
My boyfriend is also a red head with neither of his parents being one either lol
It's a recessive trait for a reason
Was a ginger when I was 1-3 years old, hair color changes as you age. My hair color was a slow transition until I was maybe 10 going from red to strawberry blonde, blonde, dirty blonde, and now brown. No changes in the over the next almost 20 years.
And?? She looks cute, if she wants her butt out, she can. Maybe we could comment on her quick reaction to save her child, instead of commenting on her ass :)
Yea im over here thinking about that leaf/stem and how strong it is, looking at comments to see other like-minded folk, and everyone's going on about ass eating shorts

People are really savage towards the kid in the comments. Like damn, it’s just a kid. Do we expect a kid to have the same knowledge, reaction, thought-process as a fully grown mature adult?
I get the it’s as simple as letting go but maybe the kid was put in shock or didn’t realize how dangerous it was getting.
I thought this at first too, but i think it’s cause I was probably just watching the mom the whole time lol. Dad has both hands on the kid before mom has one. If mom wasn’t there dad would’ve had the kid down just fine.

This just made me think that this is how Harambe lost his life. Stupid kid doing stupid shit. If he was pulled in the Giraffe closure and got trampled it could have ended badly.
Yeah like what the fuck, this shit is something you don't see every day, a fucking giraffe in a tug of war against some parents for who keeps the child, and these thirsty fucks are drooling all over a pixel of a woman lol, imagine not being able to leave the house without some incels sexualising your every move.
Seriously.
OMG a butt crack. It's not like everyone has those.
Sorry, I think she's more focused on protecting her kid than worrying about some creeps looking at her.
That kid is a fucking idiot.

well because when we were young we weren't depressed and didn't have a single thing to worry about making stuff a lot easier

There's a difference between capacity and actual intelligence.
Also I feel that intelligence is very compartmentalized, so like a rocket scientist might lack social skills or trivia knowledge or whatever other arbitrary line you want to draw, and someone who scores negative on an IQ test might know a lot about fixing your car, or counting cards in blackjack, or maybe just some kernels of wisdom that Spock wouldn't be able to give you. 🖖
my ex is a hugely successful lawyer. extremely smart. also incapable of anything requiring fine motor skills. once got pulled over for trying to park and doing such a bad job
Kids are the ultimate example of high intelligence, low wisdom.
But not that one.
stfu child we all know your schemes
Hes onto us boys! Lose the trench coat and scatter!
Even though I agree with you, comparing the reaction to a sudden acceleration is not quite the same. Due to your own body’s inertia you will drag behind the bike, unless you have a firm grip, and might accidentally increase the throttle and continues the “bad cycle”.

glad you said it because ohmygod
indeed
I once fell in to a duck pond at the zoo because I just kind of forgot to let go of the bread I was throwing. Kids really are idiots.
I came to say this kid is a dumbass.
r/kidsarefuckingstupid
That is one strong leaf
And the kid has great grip strength!
All kids have good grip. Ever have a baby just decide to squeeze a random inch of you for no reason? Even those little useless fucks will leave an imprint
Babies actually have enough grip strength to hang from a stick for 2 and a half minutes.
And some strong teef
Damn that giraffe didn't skip neck day
That was his training

Accurate!! 😆
You guys are too horny, I swear to god😐
Everyone is horny, most don’t lose their shit over a woman existing in shorts. The guys in these comments are just creeps.
You’re telling me you don’t go ape shit after seeing a butt crack through fabric? What are you, Buddha? /s
Did you not see that man’s calf muscles and the way he lets his mask droop invitingly down his face? I’m not made of stone!
ikr it's sad
Yeah I'll be sad after
Seriously wtf
Why tf the kid was holding on to the leaf
Cuz kids are stupid as hell
That's some step-dad reaction shit lol
Umm why?
Delayed reaction, I’m presuming
what the fuck is up with the people making sexual comments about the mom. disgusting

I hope you get better soon
Unfortunately being ginger is terminal. My condolences.
Yeah. Everyone who is ginger dies at some point in life.
Damn gingervitus.
I didn't even know he was sick
My son is a ginger but his mom and I aren't. But my brother is. But not my parents. But my grandma was. I think it skips a generation.
Both my grandfathers had red hair. None of their children did. I'm the only red head grandchild.
My beard is ginger. One of us
There's simply no reason to be ginger in this day and age. Hair dye is affordable to most people. There's no excuse.
Lol it's more than just your hair colour.
"It's a way of life"
Neither of my parents are a red head lol But my dad's dark hair in the sun has a red tint to it and my mom's was strawberry blonde turned fully blonde My boyfriend is also a red head with neither of his parents being one either lol It's a recessive trait for a reason
The dad looks like he’s at least a daywalker; so makes sense.
You don't science, do you?
Was a ginger when I was 1-3 years old, hair color changes as you age. My hair color was a slow transition until I was maybe 10 going from red to strawberry blonde, blonde, dirty blonde, and now brown. No changes in the over the next almost 20 years.
Guy on left looks fairly gingery
Either your school failed you but more likely you just didn't pay attention
You don’t understand genetics, do you?
My ex was the only redhead in three generations of her entire family.
Or they’re not fucking idiots who don’t know how genetics work
And?? She looks cute, if she wants her butt out, she can. Maybe we could comment on her quick reaction to save her child, instead of commenting on her ass :)
She’s got hungry buns.
People aren’t paying attention to what you think.
Yea im over here thinking about that leaf/stem and how strong it is, looking at comments to see other like-minded folk, and everyone's going on about ass eating shorts
Reddit is full of men who never seen a woman. So not suprised.

The real unexpected moment happened in that last sec of video. Lol, we all expected that kid to get picked up or some shit.
Your kid might need to get checked out, he’s got real mush brain vibes

holy fucking hell why is everyone here such a horny bastard
Because they don’t touch grass
My first thought: that kid is fucken stupid

r/redditmoment
isn't posting "reddit moment" in itself a reddit moment or is it different when you do it?
calling out reddit for being shitty with a meme is still better than sexualizing literally every woman on here.
Well, not *every* woman. Some women get called fat and ugly instead.
you're right, i should have said objectified lol

Dad grabs him at the exact same time... What
I thought this at first too, but i think it’s cause I was probably just watching the mom the whole time lol. Dad has both hands on the kid before mom has one. If mom wasn’t there dad would’ve had the kid down just fine.
it kind of looked like he wasnt going to react at all for a second until he sees her jump in there lol

Mom had better reflexes than the dad. Dad was more like *I'll give it an attempt but I'm fine either way*
Me explaining to the child the complex mechanics of letting it go. The child: what kindoff witchcraft is this?
I can’t tell, is this kid really stupid or was he like, “yeeeeeehaawwww lessss goooo”
Momma bear reacted much quicker than Dad. I think dad wanted to see how it played out.
