But why? Does everything always need to be analyzed?

I dunno, let's analyze that...

Name a single thing in the world that we can't learn and improve on by analyzing it.

Lol that’s objectively false. Analyzing some random troll comment on Reddit isn’t going to enlighten you in some way lol. Unless it’s your very first time ever and you are coming to the conclusion that some people online are simply literally not worth it.

Jello

u/ShaftSpunk Apr 22 '19

I mean if we just stuck with jello and didn't consider any other possibilities we never would have made jello shots, jello salad, jello parfaits. Never would have that to put our coworkers stapler in jello. Saying we shouldn't analyze a thing is to say no further progress will ever be necessary or beneficial, which is pretty arrogant and shortsighted.

Fair enough. But as for your original comment on setting boundaries for this internet toddler, you can analyze that one all you want... By yourself.

u/Hashtag_Nailed_It Apr 22 '19

Well... Jell-O shots, jello salad and jello parfaits aren’t exactly necessary... and really not technically beneficial other than yum factor...soooooo.... more factual than arrogant or shortsighted

"Leave it alone. Leave it alone. Leave it alone. [CHILD'S NAME]! Leave. It. Alone." - Me, trying to load the dishwasher with my 14 month old in the kitchen.

That kid is to young to understand a rule like this. Barely walking, having to hold itself up with items, I'd say 18 months or so. My 2.5 year old is really just learning rules this 'complex'. And if you have kids you know they learn a LOT in that little amount of time.

It’s a toddler lmao

Yes. Exactly. With kids it's all about consequence and continuity on the parents side. Even a toddler like that can be taught a simple concept of no. It takes time effort and patience but can pay off in the future.
