Yeah, sex is cool, but have you ever closed like 50 browser tabs after finishing an annoying project?
Sex for me usually involves closing 50 browser tabs right after.
Is porn an annoying project [spams a bunch of thinking emoji]
The "I figured it out!" feeling!!! Solving a particularly difficult problem, or the moment when something you've been struggling to understand finally "clicks."
I've been in love, had great food and drinks and been to a few amazing far off places, had great orgasms, enjoyed awesome stories in various forms of media, etc. but nothing compares.
Fixing something you thought was probably going to end up trashed is also a great feeling. I would call it a subcategory of the "I figured it out!" feeling, though.
I agree along with the flash of insight that lightning strikes you and you know it in your body before becoming aware of it consciously
This, especially while coding. I was thinking about a problem for like 30 minutes and then finally figured it out.
This is it. Doesn't matter if you spent 60min, 10h, 100h, 1000h,... on it - that's accomplishment.
"To crush your enemies, see them driven before you, and to hear the lamentations of their women."
Just kidding. I have no idea. Some would say love, I've been fortunate enough to have a caring family, but I've never known "true love" of another not from my family.
Falling into a nice comfy bed when you're exhausted and just passing out
Using an actual flushing toilet after being out in the wilderness for even just a few days
Orgasms
Eating your favorite meal
Having your back scratched or getting a massage
Apparently I think the best feelings have to do with the physical and not the mental, not sure why that is
Using an actual flushing toilet after being out in the wilderness for even just a few days
That first shower though! And I count music festivals as being in the wilderness for a few days.
To hold one’s child for the first time.
I don't have one, would it work if I hold yours?
My youngest is 7 and kind of a big guy.
My newborn is now 8 years old and I still think holding her is the greatest feeling in the world.
I've heard the greatest feeling in the world is holding your baby for the first time, but I can’t speak to that yet. For me, though, it’s the feeling of being in love with your best friend. It's a deep, effortless connection where it feels like they’re a part of you. When they’re not around, it’s this constant longing, this ache of missing them, and the thoughts of them that never really stop. It’s wanting to see them happy, to be the one who brings them joy, and realizing how much they mean to you in every little moment. It’s the kind of love that makes everything else feel brighter, like life just wouldn’t be the same without them in it.
This is comletely true, except it didn't kick in for me until my child was around for a few days. The first 48 hours, I was too brain dead for it to sink in. My advice to soon-to-be parents is not to feel guilty if you're not immediately star-struck; it can take time.
After a week or so I felt exactly as you described. It's incredible.
As of this morning, I can tell you the WORST deeling in the world
I was hoping completely unrelated comments like these would disappear after the election but some people sure are persistent. Also if seeing the wrong candidate win is the worst feeling you can imagine then you should work on your personality a little bit because defining yourself solely by politics can't be healthy.
Laying down in your own bed after traveling for a bit
Feeling your butt cheeks on the toilet seat just before you lose the battle to hold everything in.
I have a good family life. Making a coffee and tea first thing in the morning for my wife, getting a slap on the butt, asking me 'how was your sleep suckhead?'
When I go to bed and my dog shoves himself under the covers and tucks himself in the crook of my knees. Or when he rests his chin on my ankle.
The feeling of being loved.
What's it like, Ron?
Cold glass of water.
When I'm dragged across an array of sharp raised metal bumps on a plane until there's a pile of me in strips and chunks on the plate below.
No, wait, that's the grate-ist feeling, sorry.
Waking up to a quiet, clean house every day, with no children.
Preach. Or human roommates, I would add in my case.
An orgasm, best if shared with someone you love. Highest rate of happy chemicals ever.
Second place goes to watching a campfire shortly after the sun goes down. So relaxing.
When your kid runs at you to give you the most enthusiastic hug of your life just because.
Taking a decent hit of acid once it kicks in smoking a few bong hits then having sex. Best feeling ever!
Yeah pretty much agree, would just say "drugs" as a catch-all here.
Had to scroll quite far down to find a non-wholesome answer! Everyone else is enjoying being a parent or whatever.
Top for me so far was hearing my fiancée say yes when I asked her to marry me. I've beaten brain cancer twice, but hearing her say yes to forever with me beats that by a massive margin
A cat rubbing its head against you.
I love it, so warm, so soft.
Drinking morning coffee. Feels great.
For me, probably fatherhood. At least when it's wholesome and going well, which is about maybe half of the time. Depends on the day with a four-year-old. But even when I want to hurl her off of a fucking bridge, I'll miss her to death the moment she's finally asleep or at preschool. So much sometimes that I could probably cry. It's really powerful. I truly know what it feels like to be willing to die for something. No hesitation. I'd die for my wife as well, of course, but with my daughter it's a whole other animal. It's hard to articulate.
Getting into bed with socks on... and then taking 'em off
I strongly suspect that helps you get to sleep easier too. Like wearing your socks until bedtime and then getting that cooling in the extremities
When the woman you are madly in love with proposes to you.
Or when your child for the first time says "Dada" and pulls on your beard.
