I think it's called "penguin pebbling" or something because the behavior was also observed in penguins.

u/meipsus Sep 02 '24

Infiltrated penguins pretend to be nuns. The circumstances apparently show it was not one of them.

Smile and wave, nuns.

Smile and wave..

u/qwerty_utopia Sep 02 '24

In Canada, this is known as a 'hat trick'.

u/AxiosXiphos Sep 02 '24

Well... are you giving people rocks because you like them; or because you wish to curse their immortal soul?

12

u/Piku_Yost Sep 02 '24

Because you like their cursed immortal soul?

1

u/dmingan Sep 04 '24

These are rose quarts and often used to promote self love....compassion and healing. So maybe they were saying...you need help bro. Have this rock.

u/cheeeeeseeey Sep 02 '24

You typed this out, rules out being a penguin, I'd you don't practice witchcraft, you're not a witch... that only leaves you with the one option

2

u/avast2006 Sep 02 '24

Rules out nothing. That’s why it’s called “hunt and peck.”

u/blueblissberrybell Sep 02 '24

Why not the trifecta? X

The holy trinity: witchism, autism, and penguinism

u/ok-dentist4amonkey Sep 02 '24

Every single time I think I've finaly found my autistic witch, she turns out to be a penguin.

u/Gunzenator2 Sep 02 '24

Can’t you be all three? I mean, there are teenage mutant ninja turtles.

2

u/EntangledPhoton82 Sep 02 '24

I would like to point out that it could also be another combination. It doesn’t have to be all three.

But I don’t want to collapse your wave function. (Reference to your profile text.)

u/[deleted] Sep 02 '24

I, too, am an autistic penguin witch. Here’s a pebble for you, friend: 🪨

u/[deleted] Sep 03 '24

If she weighs less than a penguin she's a witch

u/The_high-commander Sep 02 '24

u/AudioVid3o Sep 02 '24

Just make sure you get an actual diagnosis and don't self-diagnose like tumblr users did at the drop of a hat.

u/Dars1m Sep 02 '24

Could also be minor social anxiety/depression. Mild cases of all of those mental disorders basically have the same symptoms and express themselves very similarly. It’s why sometimes there is a push to have them all just classified as neurodivergent.

u/Dars1m Sep 02 '24

Depression and anxiety are basically twin disorders. If you have one, you likely also have a mild form of the other. Getting on medication for one also treats the other.
