RE: Decentralization, Some Thoughts on Toilet Paper, and Maybe Some Art If I Finish It
That's brilliant. It's because of the size. Those stupid toilet paper jokes. So very x 10 stupid. Maybe I've just seen too many of them. Typically I don't do much Facebook browsing, but it's the best place to hear what my local people think and so I've been perusing because of all this virus stuff, and what I've discovered is...toilet paper. They only think about toilet paper. So disappointed.
I even told my clan the reason. Many 'liked' and enough commented. They understood.
I go back today and they're still sharing more toilet paper memes...
What's really going on?
You remember how kids think fart jokes are really funny, but then around age ten its like 75 percent of them mature and stop laughing at that stuff? I think this whole toilet paper issue is evidence - it was a front. They didn't mature.
Want to know what it really is? Are you ready for this?
It's nervous laughter. People are hiding their true feelings, with humor, but they suck at humor.
That sounds right. Although as of today the vast majority of my city seemed to have no care for social distancing, as though they didn't have a care in the world. Downtown was slammed. Maybe its a combo - nervous chatter for all the folks nervously socially distancing themselves, and humor for the not very smart people that think going to a bar packed full of 100 other tourists is a good idea right now :)
