It's because evolution has stopped working. Until recently, if a person was stupid, they died- of an accident, a wild animal attack, an illness etc. In the last 50 years, everyone is protected from everything, so even the stupidest survive.

Well at least in 'more developed countries.'

I don't get why breakfast is the most important meal of the day. I like supper.

I don't get why so many "normal" people prefer to listen to music with the volume up so high that all you can hear through the scream of impending hearing damage is -

THUD THUD THUD THUD
THUD THUD THUD THUD
THUD THUD THUD THUD
THUD THUD THUD THUD

I also don't get how people who listen to music that way can have such strong and intolerant views on which THUD THUD THUD THUDs are good and which THUD THUD THUD THUDs are bad.

Why it took me so long to see where I went wrong.

They end up in prison too and I once saw a thread on reddit asking what is the greatest loophole you found, lot of comments were users admitting to petty theft and other dishonesty where they exploit things. These are not loop holes.

People who keep arguing and posting their bigoted opinions and then complain about others disagreeing with them or being kicked out of groups or forums. How hard is it to just keep their mouth shut and move on from it? Not everything needs to be said.

The say something rude to the person above thread. Why would people want to say hurtful things to each other?

It's just banter. Participants aren't trying to be hurtful, we are just playing with each other.

i dont get that either because it might give some people the opportunity to mean what they say but disguise it as a joke

That would likely go over my head anyway. I'm not the most socially aware person. It probably wouldn't be a good idea for anyone to participate in the thread if they are thin skinned and easily offended anyway.

This.

Same with Off the Wall. Nobody has been deliberately hurtful, as far as I'm aware. I see it as an expression of our weird, and often entertaining, sense of humour.

Those types would probably leave a one off comment then disappear. The regulars on these kinds of thread are just bantering.

Last night we looked at menus to decide where to eat in the city.

I don't get why places serve things like this, or why it's allowed.
Not to mention the prices they pay to keep this industry going.

Yes, there were photos but I won't gross anyone out. :eew:
The portions were tiny, for one thing.

Needless to say I didn't pick that place.
