What do you mean normal people? Everyone does the stacking thing… don’t they?

    I once knew a guy who didn't put his coins in order. You know the trivia that average person swallows 8 spiders per year? It was this guy. He would sit at home and eat spiders all the time. Just spoonful after spoonful of spiders for every meal. 60 billion spiders each year. That's were this statistics comes from. No idea if the coin thing was related. Completely normal guy otherwise.

    The spider thing was a hoax. I do love the idea that its an outlier driven statistic though. Like average net worth.

    Yeah, a hoax made up by Big Fly to have us humans kill all the spiders out of fear, serving the flies interests. But no more!

    I lost contact with him when I moved to another country so I don't know if it's still true but it was definitely true between 2008 and 2015. No idea when he started doing it. He did mention something about it 'being his turn' so it's possible other people did it before him as well.

    90% of ADHD and similar memes are just describing human condition.

    Except there is an inherent difference between "This feels nice" vs "I have to do this or else I won't be able to sleep tonight"

    Yes, and the vast majority of these memes referenced fall into the former category and not the latter. Obsession and compulsion over concepts like ordering can be a clinical symptom; preferring order is a pretty basic human condition.

    This is why posts on brainrot platforms like TikTok have so many people believing that they’re neurodivergent for having preferences when they’re confusing having preferences for conditions that cause immense psychological anguish and dysfunction.

    It’s like the classic situation where someone says “yeah I’m pretty OCD when it comes to _” when they have NO FUCKING CLUE what it’s actually like to live with such a disorder that impacts every aspect of your life in a quite debilitating way.

    Coins #2 and 3 are too large and need to be moved farther down and now I can't unsee that.

    But you know what's WORSE?

    There's a manhole near me that periodically gets used, and the cover is always put back in a different wrong orientation. I'm sure they don't to bug people.

    My mechanic's uncle called me neurospicy because my favorite TV show is "it's always smelly in smegmadelphia". I told him I like spicy food and I do have neurons so he was right.

    For the love of god please do not diagnose yourself as being "neurospicy" based solely on if you like stacking coins by size 😭🙏

    I want to add, don't diagnose yourself, period. Especially from crap you see on the internet. If you suspect something, see an actual doctor. Someones diagnosis/life is not a "fun costume" for you to just wear because you saw a meme or want to be quirky.

    It's not a good sole indicator. People tend to like stacking things in satisfying ways regardless of their neurochemistry.

    It's not. I was very clear on that.

    You do realise you're trying to do a bit with someone who is literally autistic, right? Even when i realise you're fucking with me i still won't care. There is no victory here for you, just public record of your own idiocy

    We need to bring back the coin sacks. I've always wanted to drop a sack of random coins on the counter and say, "This ought to cover it."

    I do happen to have a stack like the right one on my desk...

    It bothers me that a 0.5€ coin is larger than a 1€ coin, 0.05€ is a larger coin than 0.1€, absolute madness.

    Hell yeah, I'm on the side of the normal people for once.
    Stacking your coins like that (and holding them in order in your pocket/hand) would warm the coins up because you touched them, and there's nothing worse than warm coins.

    Or people who want to pay in cash with exact change? Easier to grab if it’s order

    When I was young, I made different compartments in my money pocket for different denominations of coins so I can always have them sorted and it's easy to grab whatever amount I need. It was the most normal behaviour for me and I was proud of having more efficient system than everyone else.
    Anyway, I'm diagnosed with Autism now.
