It should be socially acceptable for humans/adults to get the zoomies

r/

We see dogs get the zoomies, and it’s natural for safe happy dogs to run around in excitement now and then, or be physically playfully in big ways.

Especially with this culture calling everything ‘cringe’ we have to dim our joy and excitement to levels that are ‘comfortable’ for others and it’s BS.

Humans should be allowed to get the zoomies in most scenarios (obviously hold back at a funeral) but a victory lap around the offices giving/getting high fives from everyone(consentually) would boost overall morale and make the most of life.

Stop forcing joy into small acceptable doses.

Edit: in public spaces, grocery stores, in line at the bank, work, not just with your friends

    If your friends would be awkward around you running around with joy, maybe you need new friends?

    I always thought it’d be funny if humans did get zoomies, like you’re just chilling at your 9-5 and suddenly hear a little commotion and someone says “goddamit who got gerald riled up again” then gerald goes sprinting past your cubicle

    Don’t know why thats the specific scene I have in my head, but it cracks me up everytime

    If I could, I would take you to a punk show with me, we could get the zoomies together. Always be yourself, no matter what.

    A. Who has the energy for that?

    B. Joy isn’t as contagious as you want to believe it is, in fact, rubbing your happiness in someone’s face with such a boisterous attitude can just make them feel worse. Especially in this weird egoistical high five scenario you have, someone might not want to be included and feel even more excluded than they did for not wanting to participate in your joy.

    C. Sorry, but, this post is the definition of cringe.

    If a firefighter put out a fire in my house and got the zoomies it would probably take the sting out of the situation tbh

    Why do you think I got a dog? So I can go on my 11:30 pm walks/runs/zoomies without looking weird – or at least so I have the excuse ‘he got the late night zoomies’

    Personally not a fan of overly energetic people at work. I can’t match their energy then I get tired being around them. I get zoomies when I’m with my friends and I’m having fun, but work is work.

    I just say, “ooo I’m a lil hyper” then I proceed to be hyper for 30 mins. No big deal, really.
