A lot of people kiss their pets or non-human animals in general. I find that very weird. I understand that it is a sign of affection but it seems so off. One reason is that I doubt whether animals really understand this. Also it seems to be on a level of intimacy to me that I find weird sharing with a pet. Not necessarily romantically or sexually (that would be even more weird and wrong and probably illegal). But it is still “more”. I am not sure whether I can really explain why exactly I find that weird.

Anyway, what is something that is weird to you but not to most other people?

    To be fair, the same could be said of all games.

    • Which human happens to receive the best collection of dice rolls?
    • Which human happens to benefit the most from the shuffled arrangement of cards?
    • Which human can move their pieces better than their opponent(s)?
    • Which human(s) can push buttons better than the competing human(s)?

    I hope you’ve had fun playing a game before, and if so, can at least imagine that it would be interesting to watch top level players of that game accomplish what you couldn’t.

    The biggest difference I see with sports is the level of obsession over the game and the assumption that every masculine presenting person shares that obsession.
