To answer your question Alex, it’s really just due to extreme curiosity. I’ve always enjoyed reading, and when I learned about wikis (DBZ, Mario, Undertale, just to name a few) I’d sometimes end up opening a crap-ton of tabs about anything that seemed remotely interesting. (Probably how I got a mini-obsession with Undertale back in late 2018, although that could’ve also been cuz of my love for the music.
)
I still do this with YouTube (my Watch Later playlists are probably a few hundred videos long by now, and I might never sort through them all), and I’ve been getting into reading the TV Tropes
wiki a bit recently.
Like I’ve mentioned on my User Page
, this is the very reason I found and later joined wikiHow in the first place.
*starts going off on a tangent* 😅
I used to either search for something specific, like survival skils, cooking recipes (for some reason I got into the habit of collecting recipes) or how to make a smoke bomb (more on that here
) or spam the “Random Article” button until something interesting showed up, then save a PDF on it to read later on car rides. Rinse and repeat when I got home or found a Wi-Fi hotspot.
Fun fact, I’d sometimes connect to a hotspot belonging to one of a few locations in a local hardware depot’s chain while we were stopped at a red light on the fricking highway
I might add, load as many pages as possible before we moved off, then save them as PDF files before my tablet tried to reload the page. And yes, the majority of these pages I was saving were wikiHow articles.
Anyways, the important thing to note, is that nudity should isn’t inherently sexual, and should always be treated with the proper respect. Not just respect for the persons actually in the buff, but for the people around them that may not necessarily want to see everything (hence why in areas where public nudity is illegal, you have to be in an encosed area not visible to the public).
For many people it can help them feel more comfortable about their body and it’s “flaws”, which explains why body-shaming isn’t exactly common in nudist/naturist communities. Others can feel constrained/constricted by clothes, and prefer not to wear them.
There’s also the naturalist aspect I mentioned earlier, where people consider wearing clothes as somewhat unnatural and prefer to live without them. This can sometimes align with the constricting feeling I mentioned.
It’s when people start using it to disrespect other people around them that things immediately go downhill, hence why it’s considered sexual harassment to strip in public with intent to harass or provoke others, and why it’s illegal to post nude picture of someone without their consent.
wT: Why are piano arpeggios so straightforward, yet so hard?!
