      Saw that. Looked it up in case it was me who had been misusing it my entire life (fortunately, i had not) but the etymology was interesting.

      Middle English chokkefull, probably from choken to choke + full

      Pretty sure they didn’t have push lawnmowers like we do, what else has a choke?

      Brain: “Look, a cool rock.”

      Fella: “I guess.”

      Brain: “Pick it up.”

      Fella: “What? Why?”

      Brain: “You gotta!”

    Even the violent instincts are often better than implied. They tend to take the form of “Defend” or “Protect”.

    Very few people have the instinct to attack or hurt. That is learnt and reasoned.

        Farting around and fucking around can mean the same thing, I guess. 🤔

        That’s not what an instinct is. This post has good energy and little education.

    Man, based on that list, I (and probably most people these days) suck at satisfying / engaging with my primal instincts. Eating lots of food is definitely an instinct, too, but that’s a bit of an issue when getting high calourie food is easy and most of us are sitting on our asses all day.
