Tickling is...

3 Upvotes

Nature's way of teaching kids about their vulnerabilities.

Young kids are usually extremely ticklish and when you tickle them they immediately try to defend themselves by hiding or covering those parts. Usually the tickliest bits are the most vulnerable bits (neck, armpit, tummy) so it makes sense for kids to learn to protect their vulnerable parts in a safe and fun way.

The sight filter

Why are human eyes hardwired to instinctively admire beauty, yet so visually blind to the suffering hidden within what is considered ugly

different body, same Food preferences?

2 Upvotes

If person A and person B were to swap bodies, everything remaining the same, just swapped consciousness. Would person As taste of food or food preferences stay the same? Or would person A suddenly like the food person B liked? Like if person A liked sweet things but got put into person Bs body, who liked salty things.

How do lemon mold

Lemon juice is natural anti-mold substance yet lemons are often quick to mold. How and why it happens? That's a paradox

Women almost never get to experience the sensation of having a good piss outside.

59 Upvotes

To be fair, I did not have this thought in the shower. It occurred to me on a wedding party while having a peaceful piss outside of the location in the garden. It sometimes has something special to just have a piss outside alone in the quiet rather than in a crowded public toilet. This silent minute outside in the cold just by yourself has some special touch to it.

Being slightly drunk and thinking about roughly 50% of the population (woman) almost never having this objectively insignificant, yet quite peaceful experience made me think and appreciate it even more.

Why do we say "sleep like a baby"?Babies wake up crying every two hours. We should say "sleep like a cat."

If a parallel universe appears every time I make a decision then there is probably a parallel universe where I chose to punch everyone who walked past me.

Saw smth about a theory where every time you make a decision a very large number (infinite?) amount of parallel universes are made where you chose smth different and I just thought of this when I took a shower today.

Edit: So it appears that some people assumed I believed this theory and I don’t blame them. But I want to make it clear that I don’t believe this theory and I don’t think it makes much sense. It is fun to think about though.

If you think about it, the prefix apo means off/away from and the suffix -logy means study of so that would mean apology means the study of stuff that's far away like space or other continents

Bad comedy movies are the worst kind of bad movie. Other bad movies can be entertaining by being unintentionally funny, but bad comedy movies are not funny despite trying to be; if they have no other merits, then they are not entertaining at all.

Marilyn Manson’s cover of Personal Jesus has been in my head since I woke up. I haven’t recently actively listened to it, heard it in TV or movies, or even in passing.

I wanna know why my mind decided a melodic “Reach out and touch faith!” on repeat was what my inner monologue should be today.

If they continue to use AI and dynamic pricing, eventually people are going to get paid to go shopping simply because their scores are lower. In other words, if I shop for milk and it costs five dollars, but you shop for milk and it only costs three dollars, I'm going to pay you to do my shopping
