Babies always stare at you for ages. apparently babies like to stare at faces that are considered conventionally attractive and I found this out when I searched "why do babies always stare at me"

Babies stare at me because of my facial hair. They're terrified. Or I'm beautiful, but probably the beard.

Instead of a Dark Lord, you would have a queen, not dark but beautiful and terrible as the dawn!

Well TIL. I thought it was freaky how that always happened.

Opened this expecting to be devastated and the top comment is one I've never heard of that has happened to me a lot recently. 🥰

BRB - gotta go out and stare at a bunch of babies. i assume that might be creepy to some parents, so i will just tell them “it’s okay - i am just curious if your infant is attracted to me” which will totally make the parents feel relieved that i am not just some random weirdo.

D’oh! Not like that! It’s a “science experiment”. I don’t want to hear about anyone getting arrested for a question I posted on Lemmy 🤣
