No, women need to understand how interesting the making of bike tires is.

If you aren't willing to engage with your partner about their weird little interests, don't expect them to engage with you about yours. This goes for all genders.
Healthy relationships are about sharing all the odd things going in your head with someone receptive to and interested in those odd things.
This is called knowing somebody and it really feels like it's an utterly lost concept now. It's no wonder people are abandoning relationships right now, people never talk about the rewards, only made-up problems and conflicts get circulated.
Normalize understanding that men and women aren't very different in this regard. I once asked a girl what was going on in her head and she was thinking about stinkbugs, and if you could handle them carefully enough to not get stanked.
Did… did you marry her?
It's sad that I read this and the first thought was not about how similar we can be but more, "well...I suppose if you were gentle..."
100%. When my wife asks me this question, I always ask...."are you sure you want to know?".
Once it was the astronomical odds of reincarnation if bacteria was a factor when reincarnating. The math just isn't there and your odds of coming back as a human would be older than the universe.
She rarely asks me this ever now lol.
It's a quick reset, though. You'll get back to human eventually unless you end up as one of those immortal trees or something.
I hope after this I’m always born as anything but a human.

Then she asks him if he'd still love her if she was an amoeba.
I would have to leave out of fear... I don't think I know how to take care of an amoeba, and the last thing I want to do is accidentally breathe you in or something 😔

We just tell you some stupid shit to leave us alone, and you're buying it.
How is that dumb shit? Tires are high tech!
I guess because a boy thought it
Bicycle tires were invented by Dunlop and improved by Michelin.
You know these names, because it actually wasn't a dumb idea.
How is that dumb?! Can you explain how bike tires are made then? Yeah, that's what I thought!!
They extrude the rubber into a tube then melt the ends together and valve into the side.

Normalize having absurd and weird conversations between loved ones.
Normalize to just be quiet sometimes between loved ones.
Sure, if that's what y'all want! Ideally that's ironed out before long-term commitments like marriage.
100x this.
I don't know about everyone, but I find that these types of conversations can be stimulating/interesting
This is an astoundingly perfect reference, bravo
Im a girl and half the time my brain is just spinning Maxwell cat gif, the other half I'm either thinking about theory or Linux :3

Any chance I get to post this is a good one.
I had just bought a Camry Hybrid and my wife and I were driving in it doing errands... I have a tell when something is on my mind and my wife invariably asks what it is. Usually it really isn't anything significant and that time was no different...
Except....
I launched into a very detailed explanation as to how the Toyota Hybrid Synergy system really works and it lasted till we got home... Did I mention we had three stops and we're on our way to the first?
She has not asked what is on my mind since.
This is a tragedy to me, one of the many reasons I married my wife is because she's the only person who has ever been excited to hear my info dumps.

"dumb shit"?! I -and I'd bet all the brave bike tyre workers around the world- feel deeply offended.

I stood in one place for 3 hours while they meditated and stopped thinking so the time would go by quickly until they were done and we could go for lunch. Not sure what they were trying to accomplish in that time.
Dude needs to finish off How it's Made. They don't show you how everything is made, but they cover so damn much that you can probably take a pretty decent stab at it.
I found out if I really focus on my breathing I can stop thinking for a short while and often practice that.
When I try that, music starts playing in my head. There's never any quiet there.
A short while back someone posted or commented something like “Brains are mostly fat and water. No wonder they’re screwing up all the time.” That has stuck with me. It shouldn’t come as a surprise that a mashed potato with self-awareness thinks about shit all the time.
"a bowl of tapioca pudding managed to hallucinate so vividly it invented calculus" I love that post
