People being thankful to the objects that make their life so much better ought to be the norm.
It's a reminder of how impotent we truly are without them.Appreciating something that improves your life makes sense. Saying “thank you” to an inanimate object seems pointless.
It’s a vocalization of gratitude. It’s pointless except for the fact that you’re a social animal and saying things influences how you think
Well, yeah. That’s what the first sentence of my comment was about.
how would you be appreciative of an inanimate object?
Just by being glad you have it/glad it exists.
and why expressing It verbally would be a weird thing, everyone does things a little bit differently don't you agree?
I did not say “weird”. I said “seems pointless”.
I was careful to avoid judgmental or insulting language. My phrasing suggested that the issue might be ignorance on my part, not because someone else was being “weird”.
I’d appreciate it if you didn’t put words in my mouth.
Do you not curse out the desk when you stub your toe on it?
Well yeah but that guy's an asshole
Impotent? God i hope not...
