What do you mean normal people? Everyone does the stacking thing… don’t they?

[–] ExLisper@lemmy.curiana.net 55 points 3 days ago (3 children)

I once knew a guy who didn't put his coins in order. You know the trivia that average person swallows 8 spiders per year? It was this guy. He would sit at home and eat spiders all the time. Just spoonful after spoonful of spiders for every meal. 60 billion spiders each year. That's were this statistics comes from. No idea if the coin thing was related. Completely normal guy otherwise.

You knew Spiders Georg? I heard he has a really silky voice.

[–] ExLisper@lemmy.curiana.net 9 points 3 days ago

Amazing. His rendition of Crawling? Chills. Every. Time.

[–] ChicoSuave@lemmy.world 14 points 3 days ago

It's these nuggets of absurdism that get me through the week. Thank you

[–] Fedizen@lemmy.world 8 points 3 days ago (2 children)

The spider thing was a hoax. I do love the idea that its an outlier driven statistic though. Like average net worth.

[–] guy@piefed.social 4 points 3 days ago (1 children)

Yeah, a hoax made up by Big Fly to have us humans kill all the spiders out of fear, serving the flies interests. But no more!

[–] Gullible@sh.itjust.works 2 points 3 days ago

As someone who relatively frequently stresses out over the absence of pollinators in their area, I wish it were benefitting big fly. As it stands, it benefits only big roach.

[–] ExLisper@lemmy.curiana.net 2 points 3 days ago

I lost contact with him when I moved to another country so I don't know if it's still true but it was definitely true between 2008 and 2015. No idea when he started doing it. He did mention something about it 'being his turn' so it's possible other people did it before him as well.

90% of ADHD and similar memes are just describing human condition.

[–] AppleTea@lemmy.zip 14 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Autism is when you [common behavior]

[–] Rusty@lemmy.ca 1 points 2 days ago

No way, I do [common behavior] all the time.

[–] PhoenixDog@lemmy.world 9 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Except there is an inherent difference between "This feels nice" vs "I have to do this or else I won't be able to sleep tonight"

[–] Instigate@aussie.zone -1 points 2 days ago

Yes, and the vast majority of these memes referenced fall into the former category and not the latter. Obsession and compulsion over concepts like ordering can be a clinical symptom; preferring order is a pretty basic human condition.

This is why posts on brainrot platforms like TikTok have so many people believing that they’re neurodivergent for having preferences when they’re confusing having preferences for conditions that cause immense psychological anguish and dysfunction.

It’s like the classic situation where someone says “yeah I’m pretty OCD when it comes to _” when they have NO FUCKING CLUE what it’s actually like to live with such a disorder that impacts every aspect of your life in a quite debilitating way.

[–] panda_abyss@lemmy.ca 15 points 3 days ago

Yes, and it’s objectively better.

[–] OddMinus1@sh.itjust.works 3 points 2 days ago (1 children)

It has been several years since I last handled coins of my local currency. How am I supposed to know if my neurons are spicy?

[–] LemmyKnowsBest@lemmy.world 1 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago)

You need to try it with bitcoins. That's what modern people like you do.

[–] otter@lemmy.ca 9 points 3 days ago (1 children)

Its like this toy but with coins

[–] JPAKx4@piefed.blahaj.zone 4 points 2 days ago (1 children)

When you have 3 of these you become a computer scientist

[–] Valmond@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 2 days ago

Oh no the tower of hanoi recursive madness 💀

[–] Greddan@feddit.org 3 points 3 days ago

Yes. Not compulsory through. A lot of people on the internet confuse doing random things because you're bored with being mentally disabled.
