The idea of Thor going "awww" at a hammer because he finds it cute is super cute. Meta cute.
VERY underrated comment.

Native English pronunciation of “kawaii” sounds more like “kowai,” which means scary, lmao

I'll just stick to petting my hammer
This suddenly makes so much sense . Its amazing how something we dont even realize cause of how use we are to cuteness that we dont even question "why"
I like how both of us have cute pfp’s
For some reason I never found animals cute. Never found a kitten or a puppy "cute" and wanted to have one at home. I certainly don't understand that side of cuteness. Human babies. Absolutely not cute, especially newborn babies. Though I get when the girl is "cute". But for me it's just the same as beautiful.
@@qwertyuiop6582Nice! You're gonna get all those beautiful ladies!
Idk what it is but I’m really fascinated with giant Cactus there my lil armadillos 🌵 ☠️

Are you saying I’m not cute?
Yeah kinda
@@trihnung8541 lmao
I think the small human mammal babies are in fact, quite hideous to behold.
....it's like the human version of larvae, or even a young Gollum (from LOTR) except he's in a diaper & he throws up on you a lot. That ain't very cute y'all.
if you look like that, Iam sorry for your parents. They have a burden

I played it back for the seventh time "Oh it's just a little hammer, don't hurt him!" Awwwwwwwwwwwwwww
Kind of a sad note to end on, honestly. We took this living thing and changed it over generations to better suit what *we* wanted it to be, for our own amusement, instead of just appreciating what it was. And now some people keep dogs as almost literal toys, dolling them up in whatever outfits we find enjoyable, and there's a bunch of breeds that have awful health problems because we made them this way, unnaturally.
I love pugs (and dogs in general), and want to keep them safe, but the poor things struggle to _breathe_ because we thought they'd look _cuter_ that way. And that fucking sucks.
Thank you; it had to be said.
No they don't. Where'd you find that information?
Not just dogs. Broccoli is a type of mustard. It has been bred beyond recognition. Some modern plants can't even reproduce on their own anymore. Selective breeding is wild.

Awwww look at it, it's possessed by a demon and it's wacking people in the face by itself........wait, that's not cute, THAT'S HORRIBLE! Where's an exorcist when you need one!?!
When he mentioned the hammer, I got really confused.
This is birazze. Its difficult to answer you. People think that puppy is "cute" its because its DNA was created its appearance.

0:08 “it’s really cute, OR IS IT??”
I can answer this from a psychological perspective, the thing is so pure it requires almost a mother like instinct to achieve its full potential ,so we as a dominant force soften our self's to accommodate its understanding and try to relate to its being ,after all nothing is more fascinating than life its self
0:50 The definition of *KIRBY* , to be more precise
For now on instead of, "oh that's so cute" I'll say,
