Iirc it first originated with something like, if you gave a Dorito to a medieval peasant they would die from all the flavor?

We take it for granted today, but a single Dorito has more extreme nacho flavor than a peasant in the 1400s would get in his whole lifetime.

I guess it’s a fun way to talk about the burden of supernormal stimuli
medieval peasant takes one glance at Internet porn and is obliterated into 5000 pieces
our ancient boi swipes three times on tinder and has a mental breakdown

i would honestly love to be a medieval peasant looking at internet porn for the first time. feel like i have approximated this experience by quitting porn for 30 days but it could go further
Replying to
I don’t think anybody who’s born and raised in major cities with advertising etc can meaningfully approximate this tbh. There’s some YouTube content of “rural villager reacts” that comes sorta close

Not Qiaochu, but when I did I quit for ~40 days (including nofap in that time)
A brief naked picture of a hot girl in a TV show was intense by that point
