#social behavior

[unbfacts]

Schadenfreude is a German word for the guilty pleasure of seeing something bad happen to someone else. Tiny bit evil, very real word.

"If you like monsterfucking or eat meat you can't reblog my aesthetic slime post" is honestly the funniest concept to come out of the new age of social entitlement tbh.

HOLD. THE. PHONE.

A 2022 study published in the journal PLOS ONE by researchers from the University of Sydney and other institutions documented wild octopuses (species Octopus tetricus) in Australia throwing shells, silt, and algae, a rare example of tool use among invertebrates and was seen mostly among females.

The researchers noticed that females, particularly during mating interactions, were more likely to direct these throws at males who were harassing them or attempting repeated copulations.

While not all throws hit the male, many were deliberate and forceful, and some males altered their behavior afterward.

This study challenges the earlier belief that octopuses are mostly solitary and non-communicative by demonstrating octopus intelligence and social behavior, including the capacity for what might resemble frustration, communication and socially corrective behavior.

IM FUCKING DEAD FEMALE OCTOPUSES ARE MY SPIRIT ANIMAL AND I DONT CARE IF PEOPLE ARENT SAYING THAT ANYMORE KISS MY ASS

The Narrative drops you at a funeral for someone you know was a real asshole. What disrespect to the dead would you consider acceptable?

drinking through the service

dressing in bright colors or slutty style or both

hitting on members of the grieving family

quietly circulating and sounding out how many others feel as I do

when they ask for speakers, take the stage and say what I really think

interrupting the service as frequently and loudly as possible

bringing a protest sign

literally spitting on the corpse

starting a fire

I saw [tag] once and I think I could pull it off here

no matter how big an asshole this person was, I will not disrespect their family

We often misread why people do things, online especially.

Everyone who asks why Buzz freezes like the other toys do when he still thought he was the real Buzz has clearly never been in a situation where they’re in a room with others and tried to fit in by copying others. There’s even a brief moment, the first time he sees the other toys in Andy’s room going to their places and positions, where he observes what the other toys are doing and then does the same. He was delusional (in the actual sense - though it was played for laughs at first). But that doesn’t mean he was stupid or completely without desire to fit in socially.
