Appreciating something that improves your life makes sense. Saying “thank you” to an inanimate object seems pointless.

[-] captainlezbian@lemmy.world 24 points 1 year ago

It’s a vocalization of gratitude. It’s pointless except for the fact that you’re a social animal and saying things influences how you think

[-] magnetosphere@kbin.social -1 points 1 year ago

Well, yeah. That’s what the first sentence of my comment was about.

[-] hswolf@lemmy.world -1 points 1 year ago

how would you be appreciative of an inanimate object?

[-] magnetosphere@kbin.social 3 points 1 year ago

Just by being glad you have it/glad it exists.

[-] hswolf@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

and why expressing It verbally would be a weird thing, everyone does things a little bit differently don't you agree?

[-] magnetosphere@kbin.social 2 points 1 year ago

I did not say “weird”. I said “seems pointless”.

I was careful to avoid judgmental or insulting language. My phrasing suggested that the issue might be ignorance on my part, not because someone else was being “weird”.

I’d appreciate it if you didn’t put words in my mouth.
