I highly appreciate envelopes which open on the shorter side.

Unpolished and sincere obscure YouTube vids. The kind where someone is clearly passionate but is doing it solo and in one take, warts and all.
100% agree.
And insanely underrated passion channels with excellent quality stuff (looking at you, Down from the Attic!)
Obscure keyboard shortcuts.
Windows Shift S
This is the one. My favorite was the alt-ctl-arrow to flip the monitor direction
You’d like Linux, GNOME has some great obscure compose key shortcuts and Vim would keep you entertained for years.
I’ve used, administered and coded on Linux for a very long time. So yup
Vim is sorcery: you choose mystic incantations from your eldritch knowledge on the fly and suddenly your text is doing exactly what you want.
Vim user chiming in. I love it
The emacs-type or the vim-like?
If you are on windows, try Ctrl+Windows+Shift+Alt+L 😉 You won’t regret it (spoiler: you will)
When the dish soap makes bubbles in the air. Magical every time. I am over half a century in years and that is still unfailingly delightful.
Absolutely. I’ve tried to figure out how to force it to happen, but it’s never the same. It’s an organic whimsical moment of tiny little bubbles and it always makes me feel like a little kid for just a moment
Seeing a random cat outside.
I have four cats. I see a cat roughly once a minute, because there is always a cat.
But seeing a random other cat brightens my day.
Small wordplay and rhymes that come to mind from time to time
Stepping on single fallen leaves on the sidewalk. I’m also more disappointed than I should be when they are not crunchy.
Towel warmer
Unfathomably silly
Hotel mini soap bars
My turn signal once was in sync with a car opposite of me.
I was out for a walk the other day, and fuck me if the leaves weren’t beautiful. Near sunset, moody dark clouds letting through some low light reflecting off green, yellow and red. View to the water. I tend not to notice that sort of thing too much, but it was so nice I started going “hey, is there something in this water?” and regretting not bringing the camera.
That smell you get after a summer rain in the forest. Everything just seems to be so alive.
Petrichor?
Thank you. Amazing how you and @RBWells@lemmy.world wrote your answers at exactly the same time :)
Petrichor!
Yes!
Thank you, another word added to my vocabulary.
I myself don’t consider it silly, but non-hug hugs (what you see here might come to mind). I even wrote a mini-essay on them because I could, which itself is imbued with the same idea.
That’s super cool, never thought about that but I get it now! Thanks for sharing.
I’m getting a 404 error on your essay, are their some quirks to links I don’t know about or is the link bad?
If the screen is just blank, that’s because it’s taking a while to load. If you’re getting a 404 error though, that either means your local IP, your browser, or your device isn’t working. Most likely the device.
There’s a warning sign with a silhouette of a deer on it to warn drivers to be on the lookout, and somebody graffitied a little guy riding on its back. It’s been that way undisturbed for at least the couple of years since I first noticed it.
I was on a bike trip and some random swedish town had damn UFOs over their “city skyline” city entry sign
Seeing a rainbow in the sky. I know it’s just sunlight refracting through the water droplets but it is so gorgeous. I still get like the dude from the double rainbow video years ago because I still feel that way.
My dog pooping towards the end of our walk
Or just before you leave, even better.
