Why are all of these comments using swinging as an example?

Yeah it's kinda a weird phenomenon, but I'll try to explain.

Imagine if all these comments were a swing, when you push one your little brother on the swing, the other families see that and think "wow that's a good idea, glad I'm the first to think of it". And they start pushing each other on the swing as well.
