Why do we get tickled?
Had a good laugh after somebody tickling you? Know why...
Areas that are more prone to getting tickled are our vulnerable areas like neck, stomach and armpits.
Some researchers suggest that laughing on getting tickled by others could be a defense mechanism. It has evolved over the years when touched suddenly in vulnerable areas. This laughter could either be a way to laugh out of a tense situation or to show submission to the person tickling you to stop further tickles.
But then why can't we tickle ourselves?
Now, when we tickle ourselves, our brain is programmed in such a way that it predicts and recognizes our own movements. It knows where our hands can reach. There is no element of surprise or threat, even if touched in vulnerable areas. Hence, we can't tickle ourselves.
Posts before October 2021 have been marked as "Old Posts". Less likely, but they might have out dated or incorrect information, ugly looking bits of code, no labels, etc. Don't get me wrong, many of these posts are top-notch and interesting too.
I thought it would be better not to delete or revamp these posts, even if they suck. The bitter truth is that old works always suck, but I take that as a positive tool to convey that I am growing. Besides there's no better way to showcase my journey without these old, messy, poorly written posts!
