How high is your amusement threshold?

<p>Or in other words - how easily are you amused?</p>

<p>Do you get amused at little things? Or amused at things that you've seen before? A lot of older people have higher thresholds of amusements towards things they've seen before. Somehow a lot of adults also laugh a lot - though I wonder if this is just a societal thing. They definitely laugh towards different things. I guess it's just more of a societal influence than a genuine child-like realization of something that really does look interesting</p>

<p>Adults laugh to gain approval. Like, "hey if i laugh at his joke a couple times he'll think of me as a friend. That would be good for business"</p>

3

<p>I'm not easily amused at all. it takes a lot to actually make me laugh.</p>

4

<p>Just try, try to make me laugh. I dare you.</p>

5

<p>I just figured this out. 97% of the time no one actually "lol"s when they type lol.</p>

<p>...LOL</p>

<p>hahaha true</p>

I dunno - I'm more amused now than I was in the past.</p>

<p>I laugh WAY more easily than my peers. I may not laugh, but I grin easily. But it always makes me a bit awkward that no one else even smiles, so I'm like "...eh".</p>

<p>I am very serious, yet I will laugh at some stupid things.</p>

yeah. I use lol a lot but it's mostly to show I'm joking or being sarcastic. I tend to be overly sarcastic online (and any other time), and people don't pick up on it easily.</p>

<p>if you aren't amused - then how do you feel towards the content of a particular post (especially if it's designed for amusement rather than information?) Is it annoyance, or more of a "meh"?</p>

<p>I use lol when I am amused - though maybe not to the threshold of laughter. </p>

<p>After I changed my thinking style - I don't tend to get annoyed a lot. Or, annoyed to the extent that I lose any respect for the person(I do get annoyed by crows, but that doesn't lower my opinion of them or anything)</p>

11

<p>I doesn't take much to make me laugh, I'm just kooky like that and, most of the time, when I lol I really am laughing out loud(softly) . I also smile and laugh when I'm uncomfortable. :)</p>

<p>I get amused at the littlest and strangest things... people stare at me when I start laughing for seemingly no reason :p</p>

<p>I would be the same as panda_chibi.</p>
