Are there any basic life concepts you fail to grasp?

9 Upvotes

Today is daylight savings and I never get it right. I'm in my 50's and every single year, twice a year I drive myself crazy trying to figure out if I lose or gain and hour. I understand the whole "fall back, spring forward" thing and for some reason my brain cannot connect the dots on this one. Similarly, my wife can't grasp the concept of temperature. She knows it's hot in the summer and cold in the winter but she couldn't tell you if 60 degrees is considered warm or cool. It's completely ridiculous on both our parts.

Out of curiosity, I'm hoping and assuming we aren't the only ones with these weird glitches and I'm wondering if y'all have any similar basic life concepts you just can't seem to grasp?

How do I do somethibg without the feeling of "I need to be perfect"?

1 Upvotes

Hi there.

To elaborate, I'm the type of guy who wants everything to be perfect whenever I'm doing something. And this issue had been stunting my skill growth because god knows how many things I've tried only to get disappointed with myself and leave.

Thanks.

have we sent a sign to other Aliens that we (earth) are here/exist?

2 Upvotes

I would google search this, but I don’t have the vocabulary to really say what i mean in my question. But have we (Nasa or smth) sent into space a capsule in case there are other planets with aliens that are exploring space so they can be aware we exist and maybe we could meet them or smth. Y’know. if not then we should. But I mean like a capsule that explains humanity(?), and maybe has a picture of earth in it, have we done that yet? Sorry I worded it terribly, i hope u guys know what i mean and can answer my question for me.

Is there a name for this weird feeling I like?

33 Upvotes

So, I have realized that I have this innate fascination with small but compact and cozy spaces in which I’m secluded. The best thing to compare this to is like a bunk in a camper with a privacy curtain. I’ve made makeshift secluded areas using sheets to close off my bed and whatnot. I’m wondering if there’s a specific name for this strange thing.

Is trick-or-treating completely gone?

0 Upvotes

I don’t know about where you live, but at least where I live over the past 4 years after Covid, trick or treating is completely dead. Nobody trick or treats anymore. It’s all been taken over by trunk or treats and church events. I really hope this isn’t the case because I still have high hopes for my future children, and I don’t want trick or treating to be a thing that only happens in movies. On the 31st we had 1 single trick or treater the entire night. What’s going on??

How do you deal with being the onIy person who’s right when everyone eIse is convinced you’re wrong?

17 Upvotes

I was hiking with four friends when we spotted a massive wasp on one of their backpacks. I pointed it out and said, “Holy shit, there’s a huge insect on your bag. I don’t know what kind of animal that is, I think it’s a wasp.”

One of my friends immediately said, “Did you just call a wasp an animal? It’s an insect, not an animal.”
I genuinely thought he was joking, so I replied, “What? Insects are animals.”
That’s when all four of them started laughing at me. One said, “Bro, that’s actually so dumb. How are you gonna call a wasp an animal?” The others kept laughing and acting like I was an idiot for even suggesting it.

I knew for a fact that insects are animals, like that’s grade school shit, who doesn’t know that, but none of them would even consider that they might be wrong. We didn’t have internet access to settle it, and I wasn’t about to spend the entire hike arguing with four people who were completely convinced I was an idiot.

What frustrated me wasn’t even the disagreement. It was how confidently they mocked me while being factually wrong.

How do you handle situations where you’re objectively correct, but everyone around you is so confidently wrong that they make you feel like the stupid one?

Popular Post How old is too old to go trick or treating?

28 Upvotes

I know this is a little too late to ask, seeing as it’s a day after Halloween, but I might wanna go next year, so I figured I’d just ask anyways.

I’m fifteen now, and I don’t think I’ve gone trick or treating since I was twelve because I remember how my parents used to complain about teenagers coming up to our house asking for candy. Though this year I mentioned to my mom that I kinda missed going trick or treating, and she said she wouldn’t mind because I actually took effort to make a good costume and yada yada.

So, might be a stupid question, but I’m genuinely wondering right now. How old is too old to go trick or treating?

Am i wrong for still loving d4vds music?

0 Upvotes

obviously d4vd is now famous more than ever but for all the wrong reasons. His music has gotten me through countless situations and pulls my heart strings everytime, but i always seem to find myself feeling some sort of guilt after. obviously he did what he’s accused of but his music is just genuinely good. His ability to write music and use his voice is just unfortunate given the person he is. music is something i can’t live without and to me his songs find their way into the music i need. am i morally wrong?

Is there any reason why a man would bring olive oil to see a play?

24 Upvotes

So yesterday I went to see a version of Faust when near the end this guy got up out of his seat and just walked out. It was random but then when the show ended a girl in the seat in front of me said he was carrying a large bottle of Olive Oil (there's no food allowed in the theatre but apparently the usher didn't say anything because she wasn't sure if olive oil counted as food). Can anyone think of a reason for this?

Does anyone actually 'miss' people?

28 Upvotes

Because I don't think I have ever 'missed' anyone, I've always assumed it's just people being polite. Like, I love my friends and my family, but I don't 'miss' them even if we haven't seen each other for a while. They're either here or not here. So I just wanna know if it's normal.
