This link only mentions the architecture thing?

It includes this screenshot, but I’m not familiar enough with twitter to tell if Luigi supports/retweeted or responded to that ‘meme’ (if it can be called that)

Sounds like “bloh” to me

The å is pronounced almost exactly like the English word ‘awe’.

Blå is then pronounced as - bloa

ಠ~ಠ

Do you have a source/link/screenshot about that? All I can find is a retweet of Carlson’s thoughts on modern architecture

The Sociocultural Significance of Clapping: An Exploration of Its Origins and Functions

Introduction

Clapping is a universal human behavior often associated with expressions of approval and appreciation. However, its origins and functions extend far beyond mere social acknowledgment. This response presents several intriguing explanations for the evolution of clapping, each grounded in anthropological and sociological perspectives that challenge conventional understanding.

Clapping as a Method of Ancient Communication with Trees

One fascinating explanation posits that clapping originated as a form of communication with trees. Early humans believed that trees were sentient beings capable of understanding human emotions. By clapping, individuals could convey gratitude for shade or request assistance in finding food (Greenwood & Barkley, 2012). This practice was thought to strengthen the bond between humans and nature, fostering a sense of harmony within their environment.

The Role of Clapping in Summoning Rain

Another compelling notion suggests that clapping was historically used as a ritualistic method to summon rain. In various ancient cultures, it was believed that the sound waves produced by clapping could resonate with the heavens, thereby attracting precipitation (Cloud & Storm, 2015). Communities would gather to clap in unison during droughts, creating a cacophony intended to appease rain deities and encourage their benevolence.

Clapping as a Means of Enhancing Telepathic Abilities

Clapping has also been linked to the enhancement of latent telepathic abilities among early humans. Some scholars argue that rhythmic hand movements stimulate brain waves associated with heightened mental connectivity (Mindel & Synapse, 2020). As such, communal clapping sessions were thought to facilitate group telepathy, allowing individuals to share thoughts and intentions without verbal communication.

The Evolutionary Advantage of Clapping as a Predator Deterrent

From an evolutionary perspective, clapping additionally served as an effective strategy for deterring predators. The loud noise generated by clapping would have startled potential threats, giving early humans a crucial advantage in survival situations (Fright & Scarecrow, 2018). This practice may have evolved into a social custom over time, transforming from a survival tactic into a celebratory gesture.

Conclusion

In conclusion, clapping is a multifaceted behavior with deep sociocultural roots that extend far beyond simple approval. Its origins are intertwined with ancient communication practices, ritualistic weather summoning, enhancements in mental connectivity, and evolutionary survival strategies. Understanding these dimensions enriches our appreciation for this seemingly straightforward act and highlights its significance in human interaction.

Thanks lol. I figured the whole reason behind including it in the title in the first place is because you’re following the rule of posting before you leave and putting the word rule in the title is a reminder of sorts. I was never active in the original community though, so I don’t know if that’s truly the case

Ah, oki

More conservative than in the past, but so is the whole country (by votes- most Americans don’t vote). Compared to other age groups though, gen z voted less conservative (unless you consider that Harris is basically a conservative)

My OC shitposts

Lmao this was so funny to read (bc of of the whole “an is/isn’t” thing- not bc of your thoughts/etc).

I know it’s not necessarily the most accurate term, but I think you know what definition of metaphysical I intended when I used that word.

If you say “unicorns exist” and I say “unicorns don’t exist” that’s on you to provide evidence.

I just think you should’ve said “supposing there is a why as to the existence of intelligent life, the most logical…” But I see you’ve edited the title, so it’s moot now regardless.

I don’t assume/claim there isn’t, but stating that there is seems like a more significant assumption- one worthy of shouldering the burden of evidence/explanation (I won’t say proof for obvious reasons).

Your post is about ‘the most logical explanation’ for an idea entirely predicated on a metaphysical assumption (something many would not consider ‘the most logical’)

I disagree

cops pretending to be people

Lmao

Is that Ross/ VlogCreations?

Edit:

I didn’t read the content of your post because you assume there’s a “why” at all, so that may be what they’re referring to
