Yup, that could also be said about music, cinema and any other form of art/entertainment/distraction. It doesn't produce anything "useful", but again, what is "useful" varies from one person to another. Some would say the waste of money is the point. You blow fireworks because you can.

Ultimately nothing matters because there is no true meaning of life, so anything that pulls you away from the dark nothingness of existence is good to take.

"Alright", "I agree", "Fair point", "Proceed further"

I mean if you kill your pollinators you're not going to reproduce, so that makes sense the genes survived.

Make Mario my desktop background and stay protected forever by the holy power of Nintendo's lawyers.

The ragetacean era was so joyful and expressive. Now it's only sad wojak. I guess memes adapt to their environmental pressures, which says a lot about our inner selves too.

Can't wait to get insulted by the AI for asking a "stupid" question and be told the answer has already been asked without a link but with a passive aggressive tone hinting my family tree might have been close knit akin to a thumbleweed.

Yeah I think about stress everyday too. Not that I have a choice though.

I'd argue that by your own criteria, English is that language.

Counter argument: A tidy looking room makes me happier. Time you enjoy wasting is not wasted time, ergo, making your bed is not wasted time.

If your house is the reflection of your mental state, then the other way around is also true.

My view on it is:

The world turned before we existed, it will keep turning long after we're gone.

The economy is manmade. It was modelled for humans by humans, and if we have to change how it works for it to survive, we will always find some bullshit new rule to append to the rest.

Making kids to sustain an economy is just a pyramid scheme. Don't make kids other than because you want them and you want to love them otherwise you're just scamming them.
