People being thankful to the objects that make their life so much better ought to be the norm.
It's a reminder of how impotent we truly are without them.

Appreciating something that improves your life makes sense. Saying “thank you” to an inanimate object seems pointless.

[-] captainlezbian@lemmy.world 24 points 10 months ago

It’s a vocalization of gratitude. It’s pointless except for the fact that you’re a social animal and saying things influences how you think

[-] magnetosphere@kbin.social -1 points 10 months ago

Well, yeah. That’s what the first sentence of my comment was about.

[-] hswolf@lemmy.world -1 points 10 months ago

how would you be appreciative of an inanimate object?

[-] magnetosphere@kbin.social 3 points 10 months ago

Just by being glad you have it/glad it exists.

[-] hswolf@lemmy.world 1 points 10 months ago

and why expressing It verbally would be a weird thing, everyone does things a little bit differently don't you agree?

[-] magnetosphere@kbin.social 2 points 10 months ago

I did not say “weird”. I said “seems pointless”.

I was careful to avoid judgmental or insulting language. My phrasing suggested that the issue might be ignorance on my part, not because someone else was being “weird”.

I’d appreciate it if you didn’t put words in my mouth.

Do you not curse out the desk when you stub your toe on it?

[-] KnowledgeableNip@leminal.space 5 points 10 months ago

Well yeah but that guy's an asshole
