Things I Don't Get

Why humans think electric cars are going to solve the global warming problem.

Being obsessed with Valentine's day and having a romantic date on this particular day.

Yeah, yeah -- I get the 'I don't wanna be alone' schtick. But that's precisely why I don't get it.

I have no sympathy towards any singles who stresses out about Valentine's day.

I don't get why there are so MANY songs about romantic love but so few about food Everybody eats, usually multiple times every day of their lives. But lots of people go through stretches of many years without experiencing romantic love & bit of people never experience it.

The aura of romantic love sells….food just doesn’t evoke that sort of aura.

Popular music….whether in the US, Egypt, or Botswana, is about 3-quarters romantic-love based. Mainly about romantic striving for the unattainable.

Then again....I don't understand how Bob Dylan became so popular. He went against the grain. He wrote about romance....but certainly not "romantically." And he had a pretty horrible singing voice when he didn't try to have a decent singing voice.

Ebay. I don't get Ebay. Whenever I sell things on Ebay, I am disappointed by the value they achieve. Whenever I try to buy anything on Ebay, the bids go way above what I consider a reasonable price.

I was just looking for a piece of technology second hand on Ebay and people are bidding MORE than the brand new retail price for an identical piece of second hand tech. I can literally pay less and get a brand new product delivered tomorrow with a warranty from the manufacturer's website.

I. Don't. Get. Ebay.

PINTEREST

I don't have an account so maybe that's why it seems so stupid to me, but any time I'm in Google Images and I click something from Pinterest it's absolutely useless. Takes about four clicks just to open the picture and see what it says, and then the writing is either cut off or it says absolutely nothing of value like where to buy it, what it really is, whether it's hand-made, or even for sale. Then I find if I close the picture or change tabs it disappears and I can't find it again in my history or the tab or anywhere even with the same key words. If I try to take a screenshot of the picture or save it, it comes out as a web page and not jpeg. It seems like the stupidest, most annoying site in existence and doesn't give me one iota of interest in joining. Is that what they call clickbait?

Thanks. I may or may not have tried that since I know I click many times and keep reopening images.

Do they get money every time someone does that, or is the idea that we'll get so annoyed we end up joining just to see if the macrame plant hanger really exists or it's a figment of our imagination?
