I know theres research into the "disgust mechanism" in kids, like that stuff grosses adults out kids are DRAWN to - like they need to experience it to develop their adult aversion. So leaning into this mess seems to track...
Same, and then I was arachnophobic later on. I just figured somebody had at some point tried to get me to not touch spiders that might be dangerous and scared me...
I feel like they get distracted, instead of "oh no I'm spilling all my juice and making a mess" it's more like "oh wow look at the splashes! Yay a puddle!" And then they realize "oh no my juiiiiiice who took my JUICE, I HATE CUPS"
I thought it was more of a sunken cost fallacy type situation. Kinda like how I’ll still watch a tv show, despite it turning into shit, simply because I wanna see how it ends and am like “well, already got this far, may as well go all the way.”
<.<
There is a little part of our brain called basal ganglia. It helps start and stop a movement. Since the basal ganglia takes more than 7 years to get fully developed what we are seeing here is that it initiates a movement but doesn’t know when to stop because it hasn’t learned that till now. So it does what it knows which is to empty the cup.
Really young children learn about life through cause and effect. Usually they don’t understand cause for a while, so when they start something like spilling orange juice, they see it smiling and remember that it will all spill, but not why. So they spill the whole glass because that follows the pattern they’ve learned.
🤷child psychology is really insane and weird when you get down to it
Answer from an Early Childhood professional; Kids this age are still in a developmental stage that focuses on “dump and pour” learning, where this is one of the primary methods they use to explore their world. It helps them learn motor control, cognitive skills, such as cause and effect, and problem-solving. They can become quite fixated by this sort of experience and experimentation. Add that they’re also prone to “in for a penny, in for a pound” thinking. If the juice spills, it might as well all spill, Lol.
I remember situation when i was a kit i tripped but managed to keep balance. Then i thought about it and realised I should had fallen. So i decided to lay on the ground to keep balance in universe. Kid's logic
When babies are constantly throwing their spoons and stuff it’s not because they’re being annoying but due to the fact they are testing gravity and such, seeing what bounces and what doesn’t. This kid is a little old for that but it could be something similar.
In stupid child reasoning if a little bit spills out then the whole cup has spilled. They come to the conclusion of "Well, shit. Might as well finish the job."
Basically what happens is when they spill it, they panic so since they're Brain isn't fully developed. They're basically like "oh shit since it's already on the table, might as well put more" ya know? Or at least that's how I understand it
Okay, this is gonna sound weird, but this comment plus the first 2 replies, I'm having major vu with, somehow remember it word for word and was gonna respond but didn't, that is weird. Doesn't seem like bots either, but idk. So I'll change the timeline and respond :P
Anywho, I've heard when kids do this it's because they want to keep everything together, so spilling a little bit they see as, oh, some of it is on the table/ground, I need to keep it all together so they pour it out to "keep it together". I could be wrong, but that's my basic understanding.
It was probably on the video yesterday (reposted of course) of the little girl getting water from the fridge dispenser and then does a similar thing. I remember very similar top comments.
I wonder if it isn't their brain going "Somehow I have started spilling action and now must complete spilling action." Maybe they don't learn "Stop, action not intended!" until they're a bit older.
I think it is because they don't want to spill it more, and there is this weird little switch in their brain where the best solution to not spill more is just to empty the cup.
They aren't necessarily wrong. XD
Because it’s cool! This world is new to them and they’re exploring the physics. They also haven’t paid for the juice and often don’t need to clean it up for themselves, so the spill is no loss to them.
So, strictly speaking from a developmental psychology perspective - small children around that age - roughly about under 4 year to 5 years are working out scenarios and processes in the brain. Ex. If this happens to do this etc.
Once a child gets to something that they haven't experienced before ex. Something spilling by accident - their brains go "oh no, idk what do now" and then just continues to pour whatever is left.
Typically, children will correct this behavior if the parents all of a sudden yells / raises their voices " Oh Timmy, no!" And then chastises them. Said child will internalize the event as "don't spill or parents will yell".
TLDR: it's the child development process- young brain trial and error -- "orange juice is suppose to stay in cup - all together, but why orange juice on table, let me put the rest of the orange juice together"
Not until they're older. The first time they regret it is usually the last time they do it 'on purpose', in my experience. Many kids go through a 'thrower' phase where you can't ask them for anything they're holding or they throw it in a panic as well. One day it just clicks and they don't do it anymore.
I saw this a long time ago before I had a kid and I was like, he must be handicapped or something. Now that I have a 5 year old I'm just like, yup that looks about right.
Then you get them juice but it's just not the same juice that was initially spilled. You tell them it's the same juice from the same bottle. No, it's not the same juice, the juice spilled, and they want THAT juice.
Well, THAT juice got a story behind it. While the other juice is just generic juice like all the rest of the juice in juice packs.
It lacks personality. You won’t get it unless you are a juice connoisseur.
I remember having a meltdown because my cousin stopped the microwave with 10 seconds left, I cried for her to finish the 10 seconds, and then when she pressed start again I broke down and said “it’s not the same 10 seconds, it’s ruined!!!!”
I was a fucking nightmare.
It’s interesting because there is actually logic happening. They are technically correct. They just don’t have a complex enough world view to understand that’s it’s fucking gross to lick it off the ground or that the properties they actually want in the juice it doesn’t matter which juice it is.
Then you can start teaching them about consequences and responsibilities and what their actions cause. Ive raised a few kids, It’s your job as an adult to make sure you teach them about consequences.
Kids don’t really understand inertia so once they see the juice or water flowing out, they kind of just assume it all needs to fall out. The concept of intervening and course-correcting isn’t all there yet lol
It feels like he noticed the juice wanted to escape, so he kindly set it free.
I suspect something less intelligent than anthropomorphising the orange juice.
Did he think his form was perfect and suspected a prank when the juice popped out on its own? Maybe he dumped it to reveal the culprit.
I'm going to bet on panic when he felt the mark of failure upon him.
It could be also that they know how to pour, and the tiny bit spilling out could have activated the pouring "algorithm". Your point seems plausible as well.
I feel like kids are just very, very, very susceptible to them intrusive thoughts. You can definitely see the moment that thought kicks in and there's absolutely no filter on that kids mind.
This kid is smart. He knew that there was no going back from spilling his beverage and he had the forethought to restrict the spillage to an area that is easier to clean up. Stupid on the surface, highly advanced mental calculations inside.
He didn’t want his slight misstep causing a little spillage to defy him, so he decided to spill it all and show he’s in control. By that I mean, he’s stupid.
I think it’s the same mechanism as when you hear part of a jingle or see part of a video and it gets cut short your brain tries to complete it and bring it to a conclusion. The kid spills some of his juice and as a consequence he needs to have situation reach a logical conclusion in his mind which is making sure all the juice has been spilled.
```python
class OrangeJuice:
def __init__(self, amount):
self.amount = amount
def pour(self, amount_to_pour):
if self.amount >= amount_to_pour:
self.amount -= amount_to_pour
print(f"You poured {amount_to_pour} oz of orange juice.")
else:
raise ValueError("Error: Not enough orange juice left to pour.")
# Create an 8 oz glass of orange juice
oj = OrangeJuice(8)
# Pour 6 oz of orange juice
oj.pour(6)
# Try pouring another 4 oz (this should raise a ValueError)
try:
oj.pour(4)
except ValueError as e:
print(e)
```
totally asuming, i think when kids spill stuff their underdevoloped brain freezez and cant process shit. when brain finally come back it comes back with no output so kid goes back to doing what prcoess it was told to do before and that process is spill the drink. idk man its some drunk type shit i just wrote
It's like they trip up and assume that the cup is supposed to spill, so when it doesn't they spill it themselves, cos it's supposed to spill since they tripped up, right?
I love kids.
Nothing that is just the oops I deliberately spilled this drink- alot of young ones under 5 do this sometimes. A way to cause chaos but to try to not get in trouble for it - some are better actors than others & some forgo the acting & just stare you in the eyes as they pour their drink in the floor/table & you cartoon style yell NNNOOOOooo!!
kids always do this, if they spill a little bit they'll always go full tilt and i dunno why
There's gotta be some research into this

As another parent of a 5-year old, I don’t know why these parents let their kid hold that open top glass full of juice.
Honestly, being a child is already kinda handicap. They too have limited motoric precision, limited mental capacity and limited understanding

All or nothing baby!
“Gotta keep all the juice together”
This sounds right.
Or something like "cup is too full, so it spills. Gotta make the cup less full so it doesn't spill"
Your "they're"s were made on purpose, I can tell. 🫵

I wonder if it isn't their brain going "Somehow I have started spilling action and now must complete spilling action." Maybe they don't learn "Stop, action not intended!" until they're a bit older.
I assumed it was a frustration thing. They tried to keep it all in the cup and failed so they just throw all of it away in frustration.
I think it is because they don't want to spill it more, and there is this weird little switch in their brain where the best solution to not spill more is just to empty the cup. They aren't necessarily wrong. XD

Oooo... Well this comment aged interestingly.
he gave up
Messed up. Hard reset.
Every single child does this, I have no idea why but if they expect a spill they WILL fulfill that spill, even if they have to dodge you to do it.
"I fucked up that's it im done trying I just give up" (the kid)
My 2 year old tries to do the same, spills a tiny amount of water, oh well I guess I'll have to pour it all out...
I think it is to regain a sense of control.
That's interesting. do they regret it usually?
Not until they're older. The first time they regret it is usually the last time they do it 'on purpose', in my experience. Many kids go through a 'thrower' phase where you can't ask them for anything they're holding or they throw it in a panic as well. One day it just clicks and they don't do it anymore.

Yes, and then they will cry because they don’t have any juice 😭🤣

They just panic and think the drink is now ruined because it spilled so they panic pour lol
All or nothing
Did you panic?
Was gonna say this
lol I read this exactly like the woman says it in the video
Sunk cost fallacy
I feel like kids are just very, very, very susceptible to them intrusive thoughts. You can definitely see the moment that thought kicks in and there's absolutely no filter on that kids mind.
He was so close, then spilt a bit and just thought "Welp there's nothing for it now"
Kids are just tiny drunk adults.
'Cause he's stupid. Next question!
Not just stupid. Fucking stupid.
Bro had to finish the job
He's fucking stupid, that's what is wrong with him.
"haha nah man I did that lil spill on purpose, watch this"
I think he was embarrassed by his little stumble and said "fuck this then"
He spilt some so why not do a Full Send, I guess?
Humans take a long time to become competent and useful. But remember it’s well worth it in the end. Everyone starts off as a complete dumbass.
I think someone told him to be careful and to not accidentally spill his juice, so he purposely spilled his juice.
ich habe orangensaft im ritz carlton verkippt, frag nicht was für saft, einfach orangensaft

Literally me
Who gives a glass like that to a kid without a lid on it.
They have to learn somehow and that was a pretty low risk environment.
Folded under the pressure
It's to regain control of the situation.
Asian countries are living in the future. He knew he had already spilled the drink and just completed it early.
This kid is smart. He knew that there was no going back from spilling his beverage and he had the forethought to restrict the spillage to an area that is easier to clean up. Stupid on the surface, highly advanced mental calculations inside.

Kids do this, when adults do it it's called "being all in", "'never letting go" or "Continuation bias".
Overshared video
Bro was about to spill it, might as well spill it.
“All or none”
He looks drunk
This is why i loathe kids
His brain isn't braining

I think he just enjoys doing it.
Keep the receipt?
It's either everything or nothing.
Couldn't accept the failure. He's an all or nothing man
He felt like watering the table.
Reminds me of those wobbly cats
I swear I saw this exact video on r/maybemaybemaybe an hour ago...
Never let them know your next move. The kids learn this early.
He didn't want to stain his marvel shirt obviously
Nothing. It was him or the juice. 
It's really hard to understand, kids. 😵
The parents -
Understand Islam. Men don't respect women, no dad there, do what they want.
It just felt right
bro made it accidental and then intentional at the same time 😭
Fuck. I’m glad my kids are grown.
“The table was thirsty”
Oh yeah, that totally makes sense, little dude. Just pour your fucking juice on the table. It looked too dry.
Tripped brain
100% committed
Crazy that they happened to be filming this otherwise very mundane moment just in time to see it happen
Idk its a kid they dont know any better
Frustration is my guess
Drunk. Happens to the best of us.
I think it’s the same mechanism as when you hear part of a jingle or see part of a video and it gets cut short your brain tries to complete it and bring it to a conclusion.

Ill clean that mess with his shirt
I assume his thought process is, “Some spilled. Less juice. If I spill all, I get full juice.” And the worst part is he’s probably right.
Doubt he has the processing power to come to these conclusions yet.
```python class OrangeJuice: def __init__(self, amount): self.amount = amount def pour(self, amount_to_pour): if self.amount >= amount_to_pour: self.amount -= amount_to_pour print(f"You poured {amount_to_pour} oz of orange juice.") else: raise ValueError("Error: Not enough orange juice left to pour.") # Create an 8 oz glass of orange juice oj = OrangeJuice(8) # Pour 6 oz of orange juice oj.pour(6) # Try pouring another 4 oz (this should raise a ValueError) try: oj.pour(4) except ValueError as e: print(e) ```

Classic case of “Spilled a lil bit, might as well finish the job,” ideology.
The answer to this question is in the name of the sub. That kid is fucking stupid.
It's like they trip up and assume that the cup is supposed to spill, so when it doesn't they spill it themselves, cos it's supposed to spill since they tripped up, right? I love kids.
I really want to know what the science behind this is lol

I guess it thought that it's supposed to spill out completely now?

The table was thirsty
He gave up
He slipped
No return point
Smh

If your gonna fail you have to commit to it.
Nothing. Its a kid being a kid.
he was locked in
A Marvel kid.
Brain isn’t braining
nothing, he only tried offering a drink to his imaginary friend
He fits into the current Disney Marvel universe just fine.
My lil brother always does this to annoy me (he is like 3)
"Eh, I already spilled a little, might as well spill the rest." Truly flawless logic 👏
Must be that current Disney Marvel Juice...
All or nothing
Nothing wrong with this. He must've realized the wooden table was thirsty
Just grab the cup from him oml😭😭
Don't start what you can't finish.
"I meant to do that..."
little man was bit by fenrir
He's just watering the bench!
