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 cute
people like cute things

Eh 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
