Just today I was thinking about how we've folded basic animal instincts (breeding) into elaborate social constructs. Humans are so weird...

Handshaking. We’ve both touched our crotch recently, let’s not

I was hoping that would go away when covid stuck around. People still want to shake hands!

I hope you've washed your hand since the last time you've touched down there.

But what if I want to touch your crotch?

Impersonal revenge. I understand the overwhelming emotions when it personally happens to you and needing that "payback". Not that i support it, but i understand it and I'm pretty sure I'd feel the same at the moment if it happened to me. But when it's people you don't know, and you still seek "justice"? There's no justice in increasing cruelty in the world. It only makes the world worse, not better. I think a lot of prejudices, like racism and such, evolve from this way of thinking, and our civilization would be a better place if we stop our revenge centered thinking. Hurting someone because they hurt you or others is weird to me. There are so many other ways to punish people without hurting them without a benefit other than "it makes me feel good to see them hurt because they're bad people".

A very light one, but "Gotta have it all" attitudes in video games.

I too, remember the Gamecube days when the console didn't connect to the internet, and if there was anything to unlock in the game, it came from hitting buttons really well. We're now in the days where the glittery, shiny purple armor (with the same armor stat) sometimes costs money. And yeah, quite often it's more money than I'd say it's worth.

I guess I just don't get the people who still get a bunch of "cool" things in the game, but still feel angsty and frustrated because they don't have everything - because they haven't completely cleared their minimap of every objective, gotten a platinum achievement, or grabbed that one pointless thingy that only shows up through RNG.

I tend to experience a "majority" of games that I enjoy, and that already is enough to absorb a lot of my time. For games that have DLC content, I might buy one or two skins I like, and still spend less in total, inflation-adjusted, than I would on one disc back on my gamecube.

When you discover a bump somewhere on your skin and the very first reaction is to scratch and dig whatever may be there, out.

Kissing. Why? What's the point of it? What's the appeal?

[-] [email protected] 8 points 6 months ago

Do you mean making out? A quick kiss as a sign of affection makes sense to me. Locking lips and moving your tongues around? Weird. Maybe I'm doing it wrong, but if you are doing something that intimate, there are a lot more fun things to be doing.

So at least for me it’s as simple as, it feels really good and creates an intimacy between the parties involved even if it’s fleeting

Watching reading videos.

I also enjoy these, but what on earth is that about? We have videos of someone's face telling a story, we have videos of things happening for us to see (real and fake), why are stories read aloud while the words appear on the screen so interesting?

Also, we have access to the websites where these stories are coming from. This is the part that does make sense to me, I often miss those certain comments that make the best stories... So it's like a best of the best compilation to watch the reading videos.

But still, why? Why is a reading video the preferred way to find these cherry picked posts and comments from Reddit and Tumblr. Wouldn't a Best Of collection of screenshots or reposts do that job?

[-] [email protected] 10 points 6 months ago

In a similar vein, reaction videos. I don't understand why anybody wants to watch somebody watch a video and do over the top "reactions".
