Weird things I like to do:
1. Tweeze my leg hairs.
2. Eat everything with rice.
3. Pick scabs off.
4. Iron clothes.
5. Play with water.
If you put one schooling fish in a tank by itself, it lives a short and miserable life, always looking for somewhere to belong, always looking for companionship.
If you put two schooling fish together in a tank and they happen to be of an aggressive species, one will inevitably kill the other. Then, after killing the sole partner in the tank, the fish goes insane and starts chasing/tormenting/killing the other inhabitants.
But if you put schooling fish in a tank in the barest minimum number of “school,” then they will bicker only amongst themselves. They will move as if of one mind. And that is how you can keep aggressive species together in the same tank with the more docile and slower fish.

contemplating the metaphysics of schools of fish moving in accord. it’s more than a split-second physical cue. the current flowing between life forms. that shit is intense.
Wow, that’so cool. An I don’t think playing with water is weird, nor is eating rice with everything. Well if your from hawaii eating rice with everything is normal. Actually if you’re from the P.I. I think ish normal too. Since when does coming from an island makes eating rice cool?
hmm.. interesting.
you can iron my clothes anytime!
interesting…
