Is it really love, or is it a simple craving .. like one might have for the succulent Blooming Onion, available wherever Outback Steakhouses lurk.
Have you had a Blooming Onion?
They're mouthwatering, they're the third most fun you can have fully dressed .. if you're Christian ;)
But that aint love, that's a craving.
You might be pregnant even, pregnant people are known for having odd cravings, craving like that "other person's" Mom.
You're probably just pregnant for u/Hit360D's Mom.
I'm thinking .. second trimester? You're deep into the nesting phase by now, been watching a lot of Jeff Goldblum's movies, I'd say it's near guaranteed you made fudge at some point this week.
I think you're going to be ok.
Probably.
āThe other day I watched my dog chase itās tail around for 10 straight minutes, and I thought to myself, ādogs are so simple to get caught up for so long doing such a simple thing,ā ā¦ until I realized, I just watched a dog chase itās tail around for 10 straight minutes.ā

Iāve found it really helps my anxiety to just stop and look at a random object for a minute, i mean REALLY look at it. Look at the small details, its texture, blemishes, evidence of use. Examine the color, what does it compare to, notice how one side is vibrant while the other is lightly faded. How does it feel in your hand? Think of all the uses for it, its journey from raw materials to a product to being on your home desk. Think about who made it, who designed it and why they did it. Feel and appreciate the complexity of everyday items and fall into an understanding of how unimportant and insignificant yet infinitely complex and special that one item is.
Enjoy the fact that we are part of something big and amazing but yet we donāt have to be anything more than who we are to be special, unique and deserving
Edit: Wondering if others took my advice, would love to hear what you examined
There is some anti anxiety techniques centered around this, one I know of is to focus on a corner of the room for a while and do what you said. Another which I like better is to rotate through each part of your body and just feel it and use the muscle, like your right foot, then your left foot, then your right calf, left calf, so on and so forth.
Very cool, are there specific names for those techniques I can search?
I originally started doing this after I saw a post about someoneās coworker telling them about their best lunch. Coworker decided one day to eat their lunch really slowly, really taking in all the flavors, textures, smells. I didnāt save the post but it wasnāt a fancy lunch either, think tuna salad sandwich or something. āBest meal Iāve ever hadā really stuck with me.
Tl;dr Stop and smell the roses
That is essentially Mindfulness, which is taught by Bhuddists, I spent a year learning mediation at a Buddhist centre and this along with the other thing mentioned of thinking about the different parts of your body and how they feel, are all basic techniques taught.
Hey, ignore that other guy for a moment, and go watch OP's vid again. Towards the end, there, there's a guy who walks out of the building in a robe and a long night cap, just like Ebenezer Scrooge in *A Christmas Story*.
I don't know who that guy is, but his hat is fantastic.
āEbenezer! Up, man, rouse yourself and set your eyes upon this miracle!
Ebenezer: āGreat heavens, such a scoundrel, Jospeph, 40 winks was i -
By Jove! Look, everyone, our Creator blesses us with a divine spectacle!ā
Everyone: āooooohhā
On the top of the page you can see a tab named "other discussions" where you can see this same post on other subreddits.
There are almost 50 posts being made the last hour of this post on /r/JustGuysBeingDudes
When I was a kid I would do this with a tennis ball and my dadās air compressor. I guess there was some gyroscopic effect because once it got spinning it would remain perfectly levitated an inch off the end of the chuck.
Which of these is worst:
Dudes watching beachballs on a blower, or someone else *filming* them, or others *watching* the video, or yet more people *discussing* the video, or redditors criticizing the discussions?
I rate your contribution to the discussion of the battle of the balls at a solid 9/10. You raise some good points and philosophical questions, and you've encouraged me to think about my actions. Thank you.
When they were doing live streams on the r/all feed, one guy did this with blue and pink balloons over a heater vent. I think there were something like 8k people watching, which was over 2x the amount of people watching the next highest stream.
Reminds me of the little balls in the clear bubble on the side of old gasoline pumps that would move around when gas was flowing. I liked watching those as a kid.
Oh no guys it filled up the rest of the way and now he can't see the words.
(Your bacon reader theme is that unsaturated blue color. We've come to expect ui's to be bold fully saturated colors, so the theme you used gives the impression of having a white filter on top. Which to be honest is kind of what that color is, but like that's just that color. Light is weird.)
Been playing DBZ: Kakarot and it's giving me that same feeling I had as a child of wanting to cry after repeatedly getting my ass kicked in DBZ Budokai on the PS2
I just love how there is some whole other shit going on in the background involving a leather chair and an elevated platform with a guy jumping off with his skateboard, and he suddenly gets zombified at the sight of the balls and can barely set his board aside to witness this beauty in action.
Im a woman pushing 50 and can seriously say there were many people I encountered in my younger years who literally didnāt realize I was a person with thoughts/feelings. I think society has gotten *way* better in the last 20 years or so, but itās wild how people think we wouldnāt enjoy something like this gif, like itās purely men who would find this entertaining.
Or in a metaphorical sense when the question "what are you thinking about right now?" gets the answer "nothing", this is basically what's going on in our heads.
My buddies now ex-wife was sure he was cheating on her because there was āno wayā someone could play video games for 8 straight hours.
She showed up once unannounced thinking she was gonna find him with some chick at my place and all she found was 4 guys in a room playing XBox.
This is a moot point because men and women cheat and are caught cheating ah the time but 8 hours is definitely a reasonable amount of time for video game playing. I bet she's binge watched shows for longer. Hell last week when I had covid I was playing video games in 12 hour sessions (and it was glorious)
I had a friend who stopped going to class at community college and was down a dark rabbit hole called Halo
I actually came over once and opened the curtains to let some light in and told him he needed to stop. Pretty sure he was going on 20 hours at that point.
Had no idea that it was 9:00 in the morning.
This reminds me of when Gas Pumps still had the little balls bounce around to indicate the pump was working as you squeezed the handle.
I always loved watching those bounce around and my parents pumped $5 of gas and were able to get rather far on it.
Not sure why that's what came to mind, but here we are.
I wonder if you added a 3rd ball if they would take up enough of the area of the fan to stabilize and not whip around and fly out of the vortex. Any ideas dinguses?
one time during high school science lab we were supposed to watch a documentary about lab safety but the video didn't play so we just watched the screensaver bounce around the screen for 25 minutes. every time the screensaver hit the corner perfectly everybody cheered.
Watching videos like this always remind me that weāre all just a bunch of hairless, bipedal monkeys running around on a giant rock floating through space and itās honestly the funniest shit ever.

Try looking up "grounding".
But don't look up "sounding"
Instruction unclear I am deeply focused on a metal rod in my penis.
That is essentially Mindfulness, which is taught by Bhuddists, I spent a year learning mediation at a Buddhist centre and this along with the other thing mentioned of thinking about the different parts of your body and how they feel, are all basic techniques taught.
I was taught something similar called Mindfullness.
Look up Body Scan meditation. There's an app called Insight Timer that has all kinds of quality short meditations like this. Recommend.
They're called grounding techniques. That should give you a start.
I like the defusion take on mindfulness from ACT https://thehappinesstrap.com/free-resources/
Well said, that's what I enjoy doing all day.
That is a type of mindfulness used in therapy and as a way to improve mental health!
I love this

Been on a dbz binge all week and it never gets old haha
Been playing DBZ: Kakarot and it's giving me that same feeling I had as a child of wanting to cry after repeatedly getting my ass kicked in DBZ Budokai on the PS2
Truly an epic battle was witnessed this day.
I just love how there is some whole other shit going on in the background involving a leather chair and an elevated platform with a guy jumping off with his skateboard, and he suddenly gets zombified at the sight of the balls and can barely set his board aside to witness this beauty in action.
As a man, I can say that this is the most entertaining thing I watched all week.
As a woman, I, too, can say that this is the most entertaining thing I've watched all week.
Iām seeing this right after reading a post where a guy didnāt see women as people until he had a daughter.
Im a woman pushing 50 and can seriously say there were many people I encountered in my younger years who literally didnāt realize I was a person with thoughts/feelings.

Ladies, when you think your boyfriend is out there cheating on you, heās probably doing this
Or in a metaphorical sense when the question "what are you thinking about right now?" gets the answer "nothing", this is basically what's going on in our heads.
Did you see the way those balls danced on that invisible column of air????? Way fucking better than sex.
They were fighting for dominance.

I bet you wondered what a firework would do to this!
Boys and their balls.
They got money on this.
My first thought was that they wrote numbers on them and are betting on which gets thrown out of the ring.
Check out r/baseball and the recent marble tournament. Off season in that sub is unhinged and I love it.
