   CALVIN: Isn’t it strange that evolution would give us a sense of humor? When you think about it, it’s weird that we have a physiological response to absurdity. We laugh at nonsense. We like it. We think it’s funny. Don’t you think it’s odd that we appreciate absurdity? Why would we develop that way? How does it benefit us?
   HOBBES: I suppose if we couldn’t laugh at things that don’t make sense, we couldn’t react to a lot of life.
   CALVIN: (after a pause) I can’t tell if that’s funny or really scary.

Bill Watterson (b. 1958) American cartoonist
Calvin and Hobbes (1991-03-03)

Nope, just for my mental health :3 because I haven't baked in so long and it's positive reinforcement after doing work with my hands.

This #Cishet #guy’s take on why #heterosexuality doesn’t #makesense is hitting home on #TikTok

While #straightness is seen as #society’s #default #sexuality, #LGBTQ+ #folks’ are constantly worried that their #love #lives will be up for #debate. But one straight guy on TikTok thinks the #opposite should be true, and he took to TikTok to share his #hottake with the world.
