Things that are actually pretty weird when you think about them?

1. How intense airport security is... all the way until baggage reclaim, when you can basically pick up any bag you want and go home with it.

1. The tree that your coffin will be made out of is quite possibly out there growing somewhere right now.

1. Why nobody will accidentally set their alarm for 6:59 and 'just leave it' that way

1. Dancing. Not professional dancers, that's a bit different. But casual, social dancing.

That there are so many Shapes and sizes and varieties of vegetables that all taste and look absolutely different but they all grow from a tiny seed out of the same soil and water.

How does something as massive and heavy as an aeroplane stay up in the air?

Also, how on earth did sponge cake get invented?! Whoever thought 'if I mix flour, butter, milk and eggs and bake it, it will turn into a delicious soft sponge...' You'd never guess those ingredients would do what they do! What other combinations haven't been invented yet?

I always think language is weird, where did they come from, who decided what meant what and passed it on? How did they even communicate this. And groups of animals all deciding to go the same way at once? Who’s the boss there?

@TeamLucille I was also going to say The Wind.

When it is windy I imagine a sci-fi movie where they have landed on another planet and the weather there is unpredictable and hostile.

I find the thought of dying very weird, one minute you’re a ( hopefully ) thinking, feeling functional, mum/ dad/ grandma/grandad whatever then you’re nothing. All the special, wonderful, gifted human beings that have existed through human history are all gone. Sometimes I wish I had a faith to make sense of it all.

Going to the beach....

Flocking to the edges of a country, taking off most of your clothes and then lying down.... very weird behaviour!

The Human Brain.

It just blows my mind that something that is basically just a mass of fluid, cells, matter etc, yet is capable of so so much.

Also time. When people talk about how long the dinosaurs have been extinct etc yet us as homo sapiens have been around is not even a grain of sand in the context of time.

or maybe aliens are so advanced, they are travelling to yet another level we can't even comprehend and don't bother with this one!

Fashion.

Why don't we just kit ourselves out for comfort and practicality?

High heels, long nails, lipstick, hairstyles - what's that all about?

The wind!

Regarding aliens , with space being so massive, how can we be sure that there isn’t another planet trillions and trillions of miles away that isn’t exactly the same as earth?

Time

meaning we all are on a conveyor belt

Rivers. How the water just keeps flowing. How many gallons if it?! And how many rivers just here in Scotland!

Drinking milk. The milk of another species to feed its young. When we wouldn't drink breast milk. Well, most people wouldn't.

Drinking pints. As Will in the Inbetweeners said, you wouldn't drink pints of anything else, but pint after pint of beer is ok.

I also found being pregnant too weird to think about for long. I was ill through big chunks and not at all surprised given something was living off me. And when she hiccuped

Also people living in flats. Whenever I have I often lay there in bed thinking how there is box after box on top of the other, with people in just going about their business...literally living on top of each other and I could go in each flat and it would be a completely different world. I used to wish I could do some sort of x-ray vision cross section but I think it would have blown my mind.

The two things that really blow my mind when I think about them in any depth are space - the vastness of it and bank transfers/card payments how or if the actual money is being moved from bank to bank each time.... 🤯

I think kissing us a really odd thing to do.

People who believe in aliens.

With all the amazing advances in technology and science I think it’s more logical to believe in advanced humans travelling through time/space than extra terrestrials from another universe.

Sleeping. It gets dark so we get dressed into clothes specifically designed for sleeping, then lie doen and close our eyes until we finally start dreaming.

I think dancing is weird. Everyone just jiggling themselves this way and that in front of each other.

How we dream at night, weird Dreams and some that come true for me anyway and the exact feeling I had when I had the dream.

I think about someone I haven’t Seen for a whole and I get a text and even got a phone call from an old colleague /friend she was lucky I never change number.

Airplanes and how we fly to other countries in a few hours, it’s a small world now! So many things to be honest

Talking - we make these noises and communicate millions of pieces of information and emotions. Weird!

That a teenager can stay home all day do nothing, totally trash a kitchen, then be cross that you ask them to tidy their mess before you do them a favour .
Mine threw a tantrum as I refused to drive 1/2 a mile down the road to get sweets, drink and chocolate.
