    The problem is once this catches on and others do it then it no longer becomes special anymore. And you become less and less viral.

    So if you discover something great, honestly don’t share it because then you will be forgotten because everyone else will do it too

    Love the humor attached to this 😆 Honestly, little mistakes like this makes it seem more human and thus more artistic than if it were perfect. 🙂

      This violates the prediction, creating what neuroscientists call a prediction error signal. That signal travels through parts of the anterior cingulate cortex and insula, which are strongly linked to the emotional experience of frustration or discomfort. The same mechanism is why people feel irritated when someone scratches nails on a chalkboard

    Is this the best example of “first world problems”? Seems people are getting more angry towards drawing lines rather than seeing humans without food…
