A lot of people kiss their pets or non-human animals in general. I find that very weird. I understand that it is a sign of affection but it seems so off. One reason is that I doubt whether animals really understand this. Also it seems to be on a level of intimacy to me that I find weird sharing with a pet. Not necessarily romantically or sexually (that would be even more weird and wrong and probably illegal). But it is still “more”. I am not sure whether I can really explain why exactly I find that weird.
Anyway, what is something that is weird to you but not to most other people?
I think it’s weird how obsessed people in general are with germs and dirt. Dirt can’t hurt you and most germs are harmless.
People seem to believe they and the world is inherently dirty and everyone and everything needs to be washed all the time and I just don’t think that’s true.
Unless something is a harmful pathogen or visibly/obviously dirty it’s really not worth worrying about
I agree with the spirit but also…
Anthrax strains keeps popping up from dirt getting disturbed. It’s very unlikely, but the point is the dirt isn’t perfectly safe.
The medic I sat next to the other day literally told me dirt can absolutely hurt you. You can get hanta virus from the dirt you kick up during a walk.
I bathed in mud (which is a lake most of the time) as a child and got bird fleas from it.
But i also know that playing in dirt as a child is important for the developement of the immune system.
