    We need to bring back the coin sacks. I’ve always wanted to drop a sack of random coins on the counter and say, “This ought to cover it.”

    So… I might be neurospicy or retarded or both or either… but IMHO it’s perfectly rational to sort. It means you get access to the sum or individual pieces way WAY faster than otherwise. What’s arguably less rational though is if you can’t help yourself, even in a life or death situation, and have to sort coins instead of doing CPR. Then it’s not normal.

    Hell yeah, I’m on the side of the normal people for once.
    Stacking your coins like that (and holding them in order in your pocket/hand) would warm the coins up because you touched them, and there’s nothing worse than warm coins.

      I want to add, don’t diagnose yourself, period. Especially from crap you see on the internet. If you suspect something, see an actual doctor. Someones diagnosis/life is not a “fun costume” for you to just wear because you saw a meme or want to be quirky.

        It’s not a good sole indicator. People tend to like stacking things in satisfying ways regardless of their neurochemistry.

      I once knew a guy who didn’t put his coins in order. You know the trivia that average person swallows 8 spiders per year? It was this guy. He would sit at home and eat spiders all the time. Just spoonful after spoonful of spiders for every meal. 60 billion spiders each year. That’s were this statistics comes from. No idea if the coin thing was related. Completely normal guy otherwise.

          I lost contact with him when I moved to another country so I don’t know if it’s still true but it was definitely true between 2008 and 2015. No idea when he started doing it. He did mention something about it ‘being his turn’ so it’s possible other people did it before him as well.

          Yes, and the vast majority of these memes referenced fall into the former category and not the latter. Obsession and compulsion over concepts like ordering can be a clinical symptom; preferring order is a pretty basic human condition.

          This is why posts on brainrot platforms like TikTok have so many people believing that they’re neurodivergent for having preferences when they’re confusing having preferences for conditions that cause immense psychological anguish and dysfunction.

          It’s like the classic situation where someone says “yeah I’m pretty OCD when it comes to _” when they have NO FUCKING CLUE what it’s actually like to live with such a disorder that impacts every aspect of your life in a quite debilitating way.

      When I was young, I made different compartments in my money pocket for different denominations of coins so I can always have them sorted and it’s easy to grab whatever amount I need. It was the most normal behaviour for me and I was proud of having more efficient system than everyone else.
      Anyway, I’m diagnosed with Autism now.

                Which, unless I’m behind, resulted in a procedural dismissal and the judge said to go have a trial where it happened.

    “Retarded” as a descriptive term has gotten a lot of flak for the last couple decades, mostly by the bleeders that wear their hearts on their sleeves. The word itself is not so much an insulting denigration as it is a succinct label. And we all use labels for everything and everybody

          Huh? Those are both completely different topics than anything said here.

          We’re talking about a label used to describe people that used to “okay”. I compare the r word to the n word because they both fit the description of an old label that the “labeled” people don’t want to be called by anymore. Anyone who insists on using it after being asked not to can go fuck off a cliff.
