    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?

    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.

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

    Can I have a factor reset? I seem to have gotten anxiety, depression, possible OCD, and such instead of 'dance'.

    I got the misanthrope trait instead of befriend dance sing tell story.
