    Fun fact: my bf claps when he is incredibly angry. It's an odd behavior and even he doesn't know why he does it, but I do know that a lot of his behaviors are self taught bc he was neglected as a small child. Sooooo I guess at it's basest level, clapping really is just a release for an overflow of extreme emotion.

    Yes, the liquid feces that one excretes when they are ill. He calls it the diarrhea of sound because both diarrhea and clapping occur when one has too much energy, and must release it.

    We crap because a: there is leftover waste from our digestive system. Also b: it's one of our body's ways of getting rid of harmful bacteria. A large portion of crap is actually harmful bacteria. And while we do have more secure ways in our body of getting rid of germs, crapping is the best way of getting rid of as many as possible all once. Expelling toxins and harmful microorganisms can happen through our skin and urine as well, and they do so pretty good, but neither of these methods can do it with the same efficiency. And waste is inevitable from our digestive tract, until we switch to eating only pure nutrient tablets and getting rid of all potential harmful bacteria, viruses, and other microorganisms, crapping will always be a big part of our lives.

Read en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Biomagnification And, Hypothetically, if you did eat pure nutrients with zero harmful bacteria and stuff, no, you would not shit. Just try eating only fruits for a week, you will notice how considerably less often you shit by the end.

    I've become a pretty strong libertarian in the last year, so I have mixed feelings about Trump. The immigration thing is one of the issues I couldn't care less about. I think ending the welfare state would be far more effective than the wall at stopping illegal immigration. I like what he is doing with market deregulation though. Also he seems to be pretty pro-gun which is nice.

    This reminds me of one time when I was at lunch in middle school, a group of kids started clapping for no reason (I think as a social experiment) and everyone in the cafeteria started clapping. I was on the other side of the cafeteria so no one at my table knew what was going on but everyone around us was looking around confused and clapping so we did the same thing. It was really funny lol. Idk of it was because we where all 12-14 and really wanted to fit in or if it was part of that group mentality, but it was probably that latter because adults where also doing it.

I don’t know if that’s a common trend or if that’s just a “quirk” of this specific marvel-audience. I also noticed I sometimes get the urge to clap out of excitement when watching a really good movie scene even if I’m by myself 😅

    How these videos start "why do we breath?" How they always end "because, you're alone inside your own head".

    I applaud whenever I finish a good video game (even by myself). I'm not sure why, but it feels very natural.

    Why do we clap? Why do we snap? Why do we crack our fingers? Why do we crack our back? Why do we stretch? Why do we talk? Why do we have words? Why do we use pieces of metal and paper to buy stuff? Why do we buy? Why do we like to stare at a screen and watch someones action? Why do we laugh? Why do we play games? WHAT IS THE MEANING OF LIFE?!?!?!
