What the … fish? The internet is losing it

I was scrolling Twitter this weekend and kept seeing the same video pop up. (When I wrote this, the video had more than 91 million views.)

So what the heck had people so excited? 

A fish. But not just any fish …

The video shows a massive Asian sheepshead wrasse, aka a Kobudai fish, watching very intently as a person hammers away at a crustacean (assumedly the giant fish’s dinner).

The Kobudai can grow up to 39 inches long and weigh 32 pounds, but the most remarkable thing about it is how human-like its head is and how impatient it is for food.

Worse than my dog, Abby, at breakfast

And Twitter users found their own hilarious comparisons. I grabbed some of the best captions:

• “Me watching them make my Chipotle bowl.”
• “This is what it’s like doing something around children.”
• “Micromanagement looks like this!”
• “5-year-old me watching my dad fix something around the house.”
• “My nosy @ss nephew all up in my phone while I’m scrolling.”
