Things that are really weird when you think about them

[Shitshitshitshit]

Someone said to me today that balloons are like a plastic bag of someone's breath...

I'd never thought of it like that before and to be honest it made me feel a bit nauseous!

Do you have anymore examples of things that are actually really fucking weird when you think about it?

If your DH was a twin though do you think you'd fancy his twin brother?

Attraction is so much more than the way a person looks. It's personality, sense of humour, chemistry, etc, etc. it's the whole package, so Twin A has it, but Twin B doesn't.

Has anyone mentioned honey yet?

When a honeybee returns to the hive, it passes the nectar to another bee by regurgitating the liquid into the other bee's mouth. This regurgitation process is repeated until the partially digested nectar is finally deposited into a honeycomb

@YemenRoadYemen but i do find it weird.Thats why i posted.
Like i think why did i fancy you and not your brother.

And twins especially identical wonder what would happen there.If you mixed them up

It's probably been said, but, the internet.

Modern technology in general, especially social media.

How I can see someone typing on WhatsApp, as they're typing, even though they might be thousands of miles away from me.

If your DH was a twin though do you think you'd fancy his twin brother?

On the radio the other week, there was a guy who was an identical twin and him and his twin were going out with another pair of identical twins! They were talking about how when they first started going out they sometimes got mixed up with who was who and I did wonder about whether you would fancy the other twin?

Do male cows find the udders of female cows sexually attractive , like men with boobs?

Another thing,you fancy your dp but not their brothers/sisters/family members[usually].Why?
What sets him apart that you only fancy them.

They look different, and have a different personality? And probably different political views!

My friend is married to a man who has four brothers and a sister. I don’t know how but he is so unlike all his siblings in every way. His brothers are all sexist brutes, very overweight, can talk about little else but football and sex, even their dad is like that but friends DH is so lovely. I’ve known him since he was a teenager and he has always been like this. I’ve no idea how he turned out so different. They were all raised together and close in age and he was a middle one too. Even friend is baffled by how different he is from his family.

With all the talk about death, one theory that I find fascinating is the theory of quantum immortality. It's essentially the theory that you can never die and each time you think you have faced a near death experience you actually did die in that universe but your consciousness moved to another universe where you survived the incident.

ShartGoblin I've thought about this too! Very strange but interesting theory.

It certainly explains how I survived my teenage years

@ElaenorAbernathy - i would say no, udders dont play any part in the mating rituals/behaviour of cattle, they are more about smell.

My weird thing is stomachs - we wander about the world with this bag of acid inside us, which we shove things into, which get mulched up with the acid. Generally its a one way system but sometimes, usually against our will, the stomach decides its all going out the way it came in, at speed...

Aeroplanes and helicopters. No amount of explaining makes any difference - I still don’t see how a huge lump of metal weighing 1000s of tonnes is able to stay up in the sky and not fall down on my head....

That the planet is slowly dying and no one in power seems to want to do anything about it but there’s a lot of panic and attention based on some paperwork we signed some time ago making a few promises about borders and trade tariffs when borders aren’t even real, we made them up.

The order of operations in maths. Someone just made that up. We don’t have to follow it, but if we don’t we’d all get different answers so we all (assuming everyone remembers year 4 maths) use the same order: brackets, indices, multiplication and division, add/subtract last so we can all be right.

Swimming pools. Gadding about in water full of chemical and skin particles. And also, as my friend likes to point out, 'bum juice' 🤢🤢🤢

Money. It’s paper and it has such huge value. We are in massive debts in the world and in reality who do we actually owe?? Why don’t we just print more paper 😂

Anyone that drinks random cows breast milk or eats legs and feet of baby lambs are pretty weird to me.

I work as a nanny and maternity nurse and once thought that if it wasn't for sex, I'd be out of a job 😂 Another weird musing

People are happy with the concept of nothing before birth (consciousness) but not after death. Surely death is the opposite of birth. We 'go' wherever we were a hundred years ago, ie nowhere.

Swimming. I try not to think about it cos I'd feel sick. But we float around with strangers we wouldn't choose to have a bath with and all their body dirt floats about... Urgh!!

Do male cows find the udders of female cows sexually attractive , like men with boobs?

I've never even understood why men find human boobs attractive. They are just wobbly sacks of fat on our chests. The do absolutely nothing helpful in sex.

Oral sex I remember being told about it years ago from a classmate whilst I was in school I was shocked and grossed out that someone would want to or voluntarily lick someone’s peehole...

Sunbathing
Like if aliens came down and saw us all lined up on sunbeds on the beach, they’d wonder what the hell was going on

Dying. You're just not existing anymore and you never will for eternity! Used to keep me awake when I was younger and sometimes made me cry

I’ve never thought of it this way before! My personal opinion is that there is nothing after death. But it’s a good question to ask those who insist there must be something.
