What is the psychological trigger that things like this tap into in order to make you happy?Like it makes you feel good to see but what it is it coming from?
for a plushie that looks like that I imagine it's some "protect baby for survival of your species" thing like there's some abstract shape association in our lizard brains to reward taking care of babies that goes like >IF eyes.detect(small_creature) AND >face.expression == ":)"THEN baby.mood = HAPPY release(endorphins)but I haven't looked into the psychology behind it maybe I'm just rambling
It's cutepeople like cute things
>>11634124>that things like thisZILCH>>11634157Eh for the relative value of MEH in the case of the flower or even for plushies but I do generally agree with you which is why cat videos are huge and killing babies is generally frowned upon
>>11634124Idk, it reminds me of feeling safe and the world is a good place.
