i like to ask weird questions/think about weird things.

[TurdBerglar]

why are we compelled to suck on each other when it's sexy time?

what is the default human sound? you know like how dogs bark and cats meow. what does a human do?

why do we have pets? why do we enslave other animals to be our fucking friends?

do you ever think everything on tv is an elaborate lie to fuck with us?

how do we know what we're taught in school is fucking true?

why do we have grass in our yards?

how did we learn that smoking certain plants get's you fucked up? why did we decide to smoke anything at all?

how did the awesome idea of frying food come about?

imagine there being another intelligent species of any kind. like you went to work and instead of the indian guy there was like a really smart sloth fixing your computer. this actually did kinda happen at one point. humans and Neanderthals fucking hung out together! imagine one day discovering bigfoot and he was like a cool dude and you played hacky sack with him!

Most of those questions aren't so weird, I don't think. I know I listened to a BBC podcast not long ago about pets, why we have them and how different types of animals came to be companions. Frying I imagine came out of cooking hunks of meat over a fire and noticing how levels of fat affected the flavor and texture. Sucking is a primal, brain stem kind of thing; it's the first thing we do as humans outside the womb. The question of what is 'true' or not and how we perceive it has been a matter of philosphical consideration for millenia. Humans talk. Got me on the smoking one, though.

I often look at my cat and think, "that's weird, there's a small animal living in my house, and I talk to it." I love my cat, but I stop short at thinking she's anything but a cat. I had someone ask me about her, "is she like your daughter?" and I was like, "no, she's an animal." and the chick didn't really get it, kept saying "she's like your daughter", and I'm like "no, she's a cat. she rules and I like her a lot, but she isn't human."

sorry I had a hard cider and a half and I feel kinda dumb right now

[cosmo105]

aw man i totally think of my cat as a family member. not really a kid but more like a lazy shiftless sassy large freeloader that we can't get to fill out a goddamn job application

why are we compelled to suck on each other when it's sexy time?

some people arent, some people are compelled to when it isnt.

what is the default human sound? you know like how dogs bark and cats meow. what does a human do?

"Errr..."

why do we have pets? why do we enslave other animals to be our fucking friends?

Because looking after them can teach us things about life and interacting with others

do you ever think everything on tv is an elaborate lie to fuck with us?

Bruv, i think sometimes, the entire planet is an elaborate lie, but i believe about 10% of tv.

how do we know what we're taught in school is fucking true?

we dont, you just have to trust your feelings, some of it deffo is because its there in your face.

why do we have grass in our yards?

I dont

how did we learn that smoking certain plants get's you fucked up? why did we decide to smoke anything at all?

Dont know, but i am guessing smoking certain plants prompted this thread?

how did the awesome idea of frying food come about?

I reckon somebody dropped something in a pan by accident.

imagine there being another intelligent species of any kind. like you went to work and instead of the indian guy there was like a really smart sloth fixing your computer. this actually did kinda happen at one point. humans and Neanderthals fucking hung out together! imagine one day discovering bigfoot and he was like a cool dude and you played hacky sack with him!

i thought humans kinda destroyed neanderthals. anyway, you'd never win hacky sack with bigfoot, he could do loads at once.

Well I guess I used to think of my last cat as a son. RIP Georgie.
And I do think my cat is part of the family, but not my daughter. More like an alien. She's a very fun cat to have around. Maybe I'm not as close with her mentally as George because she doesn't listen. George understood words and obeyed. This little girl is like I need to burrow into your DVD shelf and push em all to the floor even though you keep telling me no. We have to hiss at her to get her to not be a jerk. So I guess that makes me think of her more as a creature.

I think the new idea on Neanderthals is not that we killed them off but that we breed with them. slowly incorporating them into ourselves when parts of our population migrated to Europe. I think most Europeans and northern Asians are part Neanderthal.

and there may have been another humanoid that was in lower Asia around the same time. Denisovans and humans may have interbreed just the same. they're not entirely sure if Denisovans were an entirely separate species though.

People have lawns because of English estates. Suburban planners wanted to give people little estates of their own. It's generally a huge waste of water and dumping chemicals on them to keep them green is shitty for the earth.

I read a shit ton about it once, but I forget where.

why are we compelled to suck on each other when it's sexy time?

I think it's a matter of kissing/sucking on one another's "hot spots" to get the juices flowing.

what is the default human sound? you know like how dogs bark and cats meow. what does a human do?

I don't think there is one. I think since we evolved to the point of establishing speech, there isn't a "human sound". If you go back to caveman days, I guess it was probably some sort of grunt.

why do we have pets? why do we enslave other animals to be our fucking friends?

I don't understand the idea of having a pet. Never have, never will.

do you ever think everything on tv is an elaborate lie to fuck with us?

As far as the news? "Reality" TV? Most of TV is fiction, so yes, it's mostly a lie.

how do we know what we're taught in school is fucking true?

As far as math and science, most of the theories can be proven with experiments. When it comes to history, there's documents/photos/writings from the time things happened to prove it happened.

why do we have grass in our yards?

Esthetic purposes.

how did we learn that smoking certain plants get's you fucked up? why did we decide to smoke anything at all?

I'm guess trial and error. I'm sure caveman made a fire, used certain leaves to keep the fire going. Particular leaves made the feel better when burned, they kept burning those leaves.

how did the awesome idea of frying food come about?

The way humans act nowadays, if Neanderthals still existed, we would either kill them off in a war, or enslave them.

The "Are the things we are taught in school a fucking lie?" is something I've been thinking about recently a lot as I have a kid that will be in school in the next couple years.

Also, reading up on what Christopher Columbus really did and how this information was presented to us as kids being all complete bullshit makes me wary.

History is a funny thing just like memory. Events written down are still going through a persons perspective/filter, so its going to skewed. Not to mention, history is written by the "winners" and there are certainly many perspectives on any given event.

I always think about "Who was the first person to eat this?". Like potatoes and shit. Oh I'm going to dig this outta the ground.

I guess some of it is seeing animals eating it. Still some things are weird.

Yeah, I think the first guy to go for a lobster was kinda brave.

The whole sucking thing is interesting. Friday my wife had 3 glasses of wine. Then I started rubbing her nippl. Then she started sucking on me and it was assume why are we compelled to suck on each other when it's sexy time?

There was a comedian on Conan not that long ago that talked about the trial and error involved with cavemen figuring out what was edible and what wasn't. He said something along the lines of how pissed the guy that was assigned to try the pinecone must've been, when the guy next to him was assigned the pineapple.

Your questions are answered...
why are we compelled to suck on each other when it's sexy time? Besides the fact that is feels good, it is the next step in a logical progression. Touch, Kiss, Lick, Suck

what is the default human sound? you know like how dogs bark and cats meow. what does a human do? The human sound is the only word that goes across all known languages... "huh?"

why do we have pets? why do we enslave other animals to be our fucking friends? Early humans were hunters, and like other things that hunt, sometimes they played with their food before they killed it. Some animals were so cute, so funny that they decided not to kill them. Animals have been our source of entertainment ever since.

do you ever think everything on tv is an elaborate lie to fuck with us? Yes, because if someone is good actor, that just means they are really good and convincing at lying.

how do we know what we're taught in school is fucking true? Somethings yes, somethings no. Certain things like math or science can be proven, or things like history, or classic literature are just opinions.

why do we have grass in our yards? to keep dust from coming inside, to dampen outside sounds, to prevent soil erosion, and other things will just grow.

how did we learn that smoking certain plants get's you fucked up? why did we decide to smoke anything at all? Early humans were standing by different burning bushes, and noticed that certain plants got them shit-faced. Why? It got them shit-faced.

how did the awesome idea of frying food come about? An Inuit Shaman was cooking some seal meat over an oil lamp, the meat fell creating a sizzling, fiery mess. After the fire was put out, he was still hungry and picked up the fried meat, and was proclaimed a hero by his village.

imagine there being another intelligent species of any kind. like you went to work and instead of the indian guy there was like a really smart sloth fixing your computer. this actually did kinda happen at one point. humans and Neanderthals fucking hung out together! imagine one day discovering bigfoot and he was like a cool dude and you played hacky sack with him!

[zippo]

the "sexy time" reference cracks me up every time
did you really write "sexy time"? hahahahahahhahahahah
