Have you found that melon seeds, a kind of food, are easily addictive and difficult to stop once they start.
One moment, one moment, all the time.
And even if you don’t like it very much at ordinary times, as long as you crack it, you will very “consciously” stick to it, one, two, three… The more you crack, until you see a hill of melon seed shells.
Even if you will temporarily do something else, such as going to the bathroom or returning a phone call, you will continue to take drugs as long as you return to your seat, and you don’t need to be reminded or urged at all.
In most cases, this process will continue until you eat up a bag of melon seeds.
A soul torture: why?
Dopamine may be at work (yes, it’s dopamine again, but it’s not what you think “brings happiness”).
Dopamine is actually related to reward prediction error (RPE). When the actual reward or reward is higher than psychological expectation, dopamine will be secreted in large quantities.
Compared with peanuts, pine nuts and pumpkin seeds… Melon seeds can be described as the “shell opening friendly” ceiling of the seed world. The thin and brittle shell can easily crack with a gentle bite, allowing you to capture the fragrant nuts in an instant.
Eating melon seeds, a small move to easily obtain the fruits of labor, combined with the aroma of the fruit’s own fat, can easily and quickly stimulate the mouth and brain, so that we can immediately feel the return of a little effort.
Therefore, there is a possible explanation for not stopping eating melon seeds:
When we pick up melon seeds to eat, the brain produces a “psychological expectation” of eating melon seeds. Dopamine secretion begins to look forward to delicious melon seeds;
The action of eating melon seeds is simple and rapid, so our expectations are easily “immediately satisfied”, which gives the brain an unexpected “reward” and promotes the secretion of dopamine;
So the mouth began to look forward to the arrival of the next melon seed, driving us to continue to pick up melon seeds, click, click, and start a magical “melon seed eating cycle”.
People who love to eat melon seeds must be particularly optimistic.
Don’t underestimate those who are bored and eat melon seeds.
Melon seeds are actually a symbol of identity, after all——
It is the most luxurious life to have time to eat melon seeds one by one.
I see. The human body is really wonderful ~
