The feels app got a little update recently. I tried it out using
the script before it rolled out and things looked pretty neat.
Today it looks like the roll-out happened for real, though I can't
be sure. Rainbow-text doesn't seem to be working like it was when
I tested things before. Regardless, this is a pretty nifty
phlogging engine.
Feels makes me thing about feeling, the sensory experience. The
other day I was putting on my lopapeysa (go look it up if
unfamiliar) and I smiled at the comforting, familiar sense of
scratchy wool against my skin. I realized that despite the
reputation of wool being uncomfortable because of its itchiness
that I enjoyed the sensation. In fact, I felt more comfortable
because of the itch! My brain immediately linked it to my enjoyment
of extremely dark chocolate (95% is my fav), and how I have to let
the chocolate melt over my tongue and can't chew it to really "get
it".
Do you have anything like that in your life? Is there something
that seems by its very existence to be uncomfortable or unenjoyable
while actually giving you the opposite experience? Salted licorice?
Pickled herring?
