@zensky Why do we stop to look at accidents, pick at scabs, stick our thumbs up our ass and smell it and check the skid marks on our underwear before throwing them against a wall and if it sticks only then putting them in the laundry?
O_o
lol
I think maybe people word it this way as a taste of things to come. Letting you know it’s some nasty shit, and it’s not that they’re not your friend and wanna traumatize you…but there’s just this need to share something, even if it’s something minor, like a nasty tasting soft drink, or something major, like some gross ass picture of a rotting dead guy you found on the Internet. Things affect people, it shocks and confuses/scares them, and sharing might be a way for them to cope, seek reassurance or guidance in respect to what they’ve experienced. The magnitude may be small or great, but that doesn’t matter if it affects you. Many people will use fake enthusiasm to disclose some adverse factor that fucked up their day, whether they know it or not. Even if it’s ass flavored butt Coke.
Or probably I denno what I’m talking about. Could be a lot of reasons. Sharing things doesn’t, obviously, always have to have some negative or dark and dreary pillar driving it. Maybe people just wanna be recognized for finding something fuckered up. I suspect that everyone on Encyclopedia Dramatica is actually really hurtin’ insidez
Kinda reminds me of a short Stephen King story, where it explains a character’s point of view on pets; that giving a kitten or a puppy to someone as a gift really isn’t a gift. It’s like, so here’s a cute little animal for you. It’s all fuzzy and bouncy and stuff…also, it shits everywhere, destroys everything, and costs heaps of cash to take care of. Happy Christmas, suckaaa! Seeyou on divorce day. Not that this has anything to do with this question, but I do think that the subconscious and the need to not be alone in the presence of Mountain Dew might slightly be related to…sticking your thumb up your ass or something. I denno, I forgot entirely where I was going with this.
