The open circles gives this an insect mandible vibes that clearly screams "bio" something.
Just like cats fly away from cucumbers, we probably have a few innate patterns triggered by some shapes. Snakes maybe, multi legged things.. oh and Trypophobic patterns.
I think the curviness as opposed to straight lines make it seem more bio. The other examples they have are made of straight lines and feel man made. Finally, I guess the spikiness conveys danger.
Not really related to the biohazard subject, but has anyone figured out why cats do this? Or even posited a theory? It was a source of amusement on vine way back when that was a thing but I’ve never really seen an explanation for the phenomenon.
I've seen some quotes from animal behaviorists that it's likely related to a hard-wired fear of snakes in the feline brain. Cucumbers have the vague shape and color of certain types of snakes, which can trigger a sudden, violent reaction.
Snakes. Humans have a similar adaptation, our lower periphery is tuned for it, as well as our reflexes override our conscious choice when, say, a snake goes for your face behind glass
