Post your random thoughts.

@ Bunbun. But you're my Cousin.

I thought I was your cousin.

;~~~~~~~~;

But I'm also Vlk's sibling. That makes me your uncle/aunt.

Also, you forgot to put that relation in the Hopey tree v4.3.

Also, in the vein of my comment on how weird the people who came up with cigarettes must have been, I love milk, but what fucking weirdo was like "YO I'MMA DRINK THE LIQUID FROM THIS LARGE ANIMAL'S BULBUS SACK OF NIPPLES"

I can have more than one Cousin.

Bunsin, and Bacousin.

@ Bunbun. Since when? I'll put it in.

Since about a week ago.

See, I really don't think it was that weird. I bet someone was just like "You know, we wean our own babies on milk, and it's good for you, but it would be weird to go around suckin' on new mother's tittays for milk, so let's find alternate sources."

EDIT: ...Actually that sounds even weirder

I don't think it does. It actually makes some sense.

See, I reckon you're about an eight or a nine.

Cows are the best invention ever.

Yeah, that kinda does sound weirder.

And also, the alternate source is still a very large animal with giant bulbous nipplesacs. Like, that's weird no matter how you slice it.

For that matter, who was like "Alright. These chickens are pooping out their babies inside of these shells. But what if we just... fucking crack that open and eat the unformed fetus."

Hope-ojousama, never EVER say "I'll put it in".

Well re: chickens, that's not weird at all; humans will eat anything, have been for ages.

For that matter that probably explains the milk thing too. I mean, at some point, somebody on the planet has tasted everything that could even remotely be considered a potential ingredient. Somebody has eaten sand to see if it could be used as an ingredient. Somebody has tasted their poop. The guy who went out and licked a cow's tittays is no weirder than the guy that first considered trying to eat a chicken's foot or a bull's testicles.

This one is understandable. Lots of animals eat other animals' eggs. All this needed was for some guys to be watching a snake eat some chicken eggs one day and be like, "Dude, we so got to get in on that!"

Mike Rowe mentioned this on an episode of Dirty Jobs, I think, in reference to oysters. Who looked at phlegmy-snot in a shell and thought "this looks like good eats"?

When you're starving to death, you can't really be picky.

Guys. A staple just flew up and landed in my hair. Like srs. I'm not even taking it out because it's too funny.

Now that I came up with the "At least one person has literally eaten everything that could be potentially eaten just to see if it was good" line of reasoning, I can just shoot it at every "Wait why do we eat X like who thought that was a good idea I mean it WAS but damn it's weird" question.

Every time people say "srs" as a shortening of "serious" I instead think of the sentence as if they mean "sex reassignment surgery".

I mean, the fact that a lot of other weird things exist doesn't make any one specific thing less weird to me.

Like, the fact that blobfish are a thing has never made me go "Oh, yeah, sloths are just totally normal. nbd"

@Bacon: I only think that if they capitalize it.

No no, I'm not saying "X is weirder than Y so Y is not weird", I'm just saying, like, "Humans will eat anything. That's, like, what we do."

Baco: LOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOL

I read/pronounce it like "sears"

I have half a mind to write up a Darth Wiki page for myself as a first person narrative to compliment my SCP Foundation homage Troper Page....hmmmmmm.

I mean, I guess, but that's almost weirder than all the other weird stuff combined.

Why are we so into devouring everything we come across? Why have we been cursed with this insatiable curiosity linked intrinsically to "Can I put this in my stomach?"
