Me want cookie

Those cookies don't hunt themselves
- This has got to be the most relevant comment. You've demonstrated the advantage of having the eyes on the top of the head with a delightfully relatable image.
  
  I’m 99% sure Cookie Monster hunts cookies like a crocodile in many episodes too
  
  Also demonstrated the placidity of the prey species (cookies) being oblivious to the threat and just doing their own thing.
  I’m using this as a citation now. You can’t stop me.
  
  This reads like an AI comment...

My partner likes it when I dress in a blue fur suit and start talking like cookie monster.
She then says something like "do you want a cookie, cookie monster?"
I then say (again, in the voice of cookie monster) "me not a cookie monster. Me a pussy monster!" And start enthusiastically eating her out.
Just something to consider.
- What if I don't want to consider?
  
  I would like to unconsider
  
  That's very considerate of you

- Cookie is already a slang term for pussy, you can skip that step.

Are we saying nothing about the fact his eyes point in different directions?
- omni-directional free range cookie awareness.
- One eye on the bottle, one eye on the road 🙏
- Question: do people still use the term “lazy eye”, or is that considered ableist?
  
  You could call it amblyopia.
  It's kind of fun to say. The syllables roll over each other like wet pumpkin seeds.
  Most people won't know what you're talking about, unless you hang out with a lot of eye nerds. You'll probably find yourself saying, "... which is the medical term for 'lazy eye' ..." all the time.
  I just googled "amblyopia" and the result came up as:
  Lazy Eye
  Also called: amblyopia
  
  Cookie demonstrates strabismus, misaligned eyes, specifically exotropia, pointing outward. While this can cause amblyopia or lazy eye, they're different things.
  I have had a lazy eye (one that doesn't work well with my brain, so I have crap depth perception) as a child because it was much more nearsighted than the other, and now because of cataracts and floaters. But it aligns properly.
  Cookie also has a more unique and adorable quality of "googly eyes," in that they can bounce around randomly before returning to their basic misaligned position.
  I'm not sure it counts as ableist since "lazy" is at the eye not the person, and I found it a helpful description when I was a child. But using the medical term shows you're trying, and of course it's best to get the person's preference.
  
  Industrious eye

Duh. He literally lives in the void below the scene. He would have to have eyes like that.

How else is he supposed to get those Wheels?

Maybe off topic, but perhaps Cookie Monster will back me up:
Grandma's house might have Limp Bizkit lyrics displayed in it if Etsy is any indicator. I feel old. I feel thin, sort of stretched, like butter scraped over too much bread.
- Look into these eyes, you'll see that they are googly.

Here's one for you;
"Uncanny Valley." Why do we have a lizard brain level instinct to be wary of/uncomfortable around things that look almost human?
At what point in our evolutionary history was being afraid of something that looks nearly human, but not quite, a useful survival trait?
Were we preyed upon by something that looks almost human for long enough to evolve an instinctive warning?
- Boring answer is that dead people carry diseases so it is evolutionarily beneficial to stay away from them.
- is corpses and the diseased. something that looks almost human but not quite is likely going to get you sick.
  there's a reason why waxy skin that doesn't quite sit on the body correctly sets it off so hard.
- There was a time when Sapiens and Neanderthals co-existed...
  
  Maybe.
  Never had that reflex triggered in me when presented with renders of what we think neanderthal looked like though.
  Sample size of one means nothing though, so, yeah, maybe.
  
  And we mated with them, so apparently we weren't too afraid.
  
  Yes, it's called the present, and the Neanderthals have control of the White House.

Not necessarily aquatic. It's an adaptation to always standing behind a table or bushes or something.

I just typed in "ambush predator" into google images and the first hundred images are just the Predator from Predator

All I can think about is how they made that inverse colour version. I'm thinking reduce the blue channel to 0, then do the invert?
- I think its just inverted normally
  
  Yeah, cookie monster is blue, but this particular shot has so much dark shadow in that textured fur that it's nearly black in most places.

Maybe proto-Cookie Monters lived high on the treetops and forward facing eyes allow them to see in three dimensions and to judge accurately distance and depth.

When he's not eating cookies, he's eating the flesh of his fellow muppets...
