NOT ONE ORIGINAL EXPERIENCE

[–] tdawg@lemmy.world 9 points 1 year 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@lemmy.world 6 points 1 year 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

[–] andrew@lemmy.stuart.fun 1 points 1 year 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@lemmy.world 21 points 1 year ago (1 children)

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

[–] sirico@feddit.uk 5 points 1 year ago

Well I've got a candle

[–] Jonas_Jones@lemmy.world 13 points 1 year ago (1 children)

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.

[–] RIP_Cheems@lemmy.world 8 points 1 year ago

DO IT. DO IT NOW.

Everytime I see the word brain, I read it as Brian.... I think my brains name is Brian!

Potting ~~soil~~ growth media

Franzia: exists

[–] Confused_Emus@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

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

[–] ElBarto@sh.itjust.works 5 points 1 year 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.

Thank you for your service
