I mostly use my Biology minor to explain the evolutionary reasons why I kinda want to eat my laundry detergent pods

please elaborate dear friend.

They are small brightly colored soft orbs. In a savannah environment (where much of human evolution occurred) all those stimuli say “fruit, this has a lot of calories and is valuable to you.” Which is why most candy is made to look colorful and generally fruitlike, our brains are evolved to like that and take it to mean “tastes good! Very sweet!” Hence I sometimes want to eat my Tide pods (but never actually do)

We know that we can indicate laughter on the Internet in English by merely typing “haha”, but have you ever wondered how other languages indicate laughter in chats, text messaging and Social Media? We’ve compiled a list, just for you!

• English – “hahaha”, “LOL”
• Spanish – “jajaja”
• Arabic – “ههههه” (“hhhhh” – Arabic doesn’t write short vowels, so that could be read as “hahahahaha”)
• Thai – “55555″ (“5″ in Thai is pronounced “ha”)
• French – “hahaha”, “héhéhé”
• Russian – “хахаха” (“hahaha”), “бгггггг” (“bgggg”), “гггггг” (“gggggg”), “олололо” (“olololo”)
• Ukrainian – “бгггггг” (“bhhhh”), “гггггг” (“hhhhhh”)
• Catalan – “hahaha”
• Portuguese – “hahaha”, “hashuashuashuashua”, “rá!”, “kkkkk”, “rsrsrs”
• Korean – “ㅋㅋ” (“kk”), “ㅎㅎㅎ” (“hhh”)
• Japanese – “wwww”, “ふふふ” (“huhuhu”)
• Mandarin – “哈哈哈哈哈” (“hahahahaha”), “呵呵呵呵呵” (“hehehehehe”)
• Indonesian – “wkwkwkwk”
• Swedish – “hahaha”, “hehehe”, “hihihi”
• Norwegian – “hæhæhæ”, “høhøhø”
• Vietnamese – “hihihi”
• Hebrew – “חחח” (“hhh”- similar to Arabic)

now imagine all of these superimposed over pictures of lizards with their mouths open
