The Evolutionary Purpose of Fun 

making funny faces in the mirror

The strangest thing I do for fun is compile RU-vid playlists of various themes into chronological order of original dates of release.

Well, I keep bees as an expensive hobby. Is that strange enough?

@@h7opolo , I had to do that with Kill Tony. Thay have about 600 episodes and I like to listen to the old ones at work. RU-vid refuses to hand them to me in order. Some algorithm, huh?

To me reading is fun (and relaxing). I can go to exciting scary places that don't exist in my world. And get away from "my/our" world with going Nutters 😎

Baseball always brings an overload of dopamine for me, I know it's also bore for a lot of people.

@@olafelsberry420, sport in general is something I can't seem to get excited about unless someone I know personally is playing, weird huh? Although I must say I absolutely love hearing it on TV but being in a different place. Reminds me of visiting my grandpa, baseball and cigar smoke ❤️(oh and the ice cream he always took us for when the game was over 😂).

Or horrifying for one while fun for another

@Don't Read My Profile Picture OK I won't

@@rachel_Cochran ah. Roller coasters. (I'm on the TERRIFIED part of that spectrum)

I mean, Human kids also pretend to shoot, stab or bash each other to death when playing

I know right? Years ago at a laundromat I started getting annoyed at two little tykes running around playing tag, pretending to shoot each other, etc(their mom tried to stop them but she was so busy...) Then I realized, _My kittens do the same thing!_ I no longer get annoyed at little kids because of that perspective.

@@jesusramirezromo2037 me and my bro often used to make weapons from sticks and pretend to kill each other. It was a wild time lmao

Watching Be Smart videos is a great way to learn to be human. Posting clever double entendre comments is fun too.

Thats not Philosophy. At least not capitol ‘P’ Philosophy. This is your personal philosophy (lower case p). And that’s fine, however it’s not something novel or rigorous.

@@IGNOBLEVOIDPEEKER I have a degree in the subject and administer the largest chat community about it on the internet. Don't tell me what is or isn't philosophy.

Good, then you should know that your “work” in philosophy is a mere personal philosophy.

@@IGNOBLEVOIDPEEKER They said it reminds them of their work, not that their description was the totality or finished product of that work.

​@@fleebertreatise1063 You are mistaken. There is no assumption here. Recall, and I directly quote, "This reminds me of some recent philosophical work of mine" Notice how the author is not referring to 'work' in math, 'work' in physics, or 'work' in any other discipline such that it is not philosophy. The author directly says, "philosophical work of mine"; therefore, if I take the utterance as such (and I am expected to), then his 'work' is to be taken as philosophy, however, doing so, is erronous. Whether this work is finished or in progress is irrelevant; notice that if this 'description is accurate, then I take the following to be the case. First, notice that what matters here is that if the author calls this 'work' philosophy, it is a detriment to the discipline. The lack of rigor, precision, and the use of first-person experiences (from the original comment, "pleasure is the feeling of succeeding") sound more like the (fraudulent) continental philosophy. If that is what one wants to call 'philosophical,' go ahead. However, then you run into issues of calling anything philosophy, such that any lowercase 'p' philosophy (take your standard pet theory, conspiracy theory, or some individual personal philosophy) is as serious as capital 'P' philosophy, which, I think, is erroneous, and fraudulent.

Took the words out of my mouth

U is for u and me!
