NOT ONE ORIGINAL EXPERIENCE

[–] tdawg 10 points 11 months ago

No it's okay. Being relatable is better

Anytime stuff like this happens I try to reverse engineer the primal human benefit to the urge... but honestly I'm at a loss on this one

[–] BonesOfTheMoon 6 points 11 months ago

Some things just feel right. Like when I walk by the neighbour's house who has all the sunflowers out front, I have to touch the center of the sunflowers. I have to!

Is it because, ass?

Curiosity + Dopamine

I don't think it's actually a primal human urge but something that a few humans did and it spread through meme culture

[–] [email protected] 1 points 11 months ago

Ah yes but have got considered that curiosity killed the cat?

dads everywhere agree: click those tongs and slap those bags

[–] son_named_bort 22 points 11 months ago (1 children)

I knew a guy who forgot to click the tongs once. His grill caught on fire.

they're usually sitting out in the open collecting water and each time I slapped them, some water would get ont my hands and sometimes even clothes etc. wouldn't recommend unless you want to be soaked in brown stinky water

The bulk rice aisle in the grocery store.

To me this is the only one. I only touch dirt with gloves and/or plain bar soap crammed under my nails.

Franzia: exists

Packaged meats in the grocery store. Those chicken thighs make such a satisfying smack sound.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 11 months ago (1 children)

I work in the meat department and I slap every whole chicken and roasts, I feel it gives them the confidence to be a good meal.
