Whenever someone says something, you say what. Whenever they respond, you keep saying what. It is supposed to drive them crazy.

Trolling.
I just don't get it. I've looked it up and it still doesn't make sense to me. How is it enjoyable? I understand good natured ribbing and joking among friends. How is trying to make others mad, starting arguments or general dickishness a good time for some people? Maybe I'm just naieve, but how is being a dick a good time?

You ever win at a sport and just feel good that you won? It's the same sort of reward/feedback for most trolls. They feel like they won when they do stuff like that. The very fact they hurt someone in their mind is a sign that they were smarter, and more clever and tricked people into those states.
In other words the same as bullys.

Because on pseudonymous/anonymous websites, what goes on is usually of little consequence. And it's fun to watch people get worked up over nothing.

People who get really upset when you misgender their dog. LOL. They care more than the dog does. The dog could care less. Dog is dog.
I mean, in a veterinary clinic it's really important to use proper pronouns because you're referring to the dog's sex for clinical reasons regarding what genitalia they possess as a physical characteristic and you don't want to spread confusion and misinformation. But outside of that? If you're strolling through the park and someone gets the sex of your dog wrong it's not the end of the world.
You can't even tell a dog's sex by looking! Besides size maybe (and genitals, etc.), you can't really tell! Then people attach certain gender to specific breeds like "Poodle", "Maltese", "Shih tzu" evokes 'female' and "Mastiff", "Bulldog", "Pitbull", and "German Shepherd" evokes 'male'...and yet there are obviously two sexes with each breed.
People are so weird with how finicky they have to be with social constructs

Why do none of the stalls at the Agora have working locks? It is too easy to catch someone off guard in there.

At work, when I go into the bathroom to pee, then I wash my hands, and the tap is ALWAYS, (and I mean like a good 90% of the time, which is still inexplicable) on the boiling hot temperature.
Who the fuck is constantly washing their hands with water this hot? It's honestly so hot at this setting, you can't have your hands underneath it.
I got my hands constantly burned many times before learning to check the tap before turning it on and switching it to cold.
I can understand wanting WARM water to get your hands clean, but this is beyond the warm setting, this is just water imported straight from the fires of Hell, and has no purpose but to cause human suffering. What, the fuck.

Are we moomin, or are we dancer?
When someone goes to the sink the water is usually set on cold, so it takes time for it to heat up the water. Hence people turn the heat up too high.
They leave the taps like this, and they warm up in the mean time, before you enter.

They heat up really fast though. So unless people are literally taking 3 seconds to wash their hands, they will get burned.

Patriotism. Blind or otherwise. Some people see a idealized version of their country, others see the history of there nation and some just find pride in where they live. The reasons are many and varied. For some, pride in their country is something to be celebrated. Others find people who do so are idiotic or misguided. It's either finding something in a symbol or viewing it as just that, a symbol.

I guess what I don't really get about it is how burning an American flag is somehow disrespectful to soldiers who died in combat (and I don't mean to offend any veterans on the forums, I just generally don't get it). Like, unless the soldiers died defending that individual flag from being destroyed somehow, what does burning a random piece of cloth have to do with soldiers?

I don't know how to explain this without sounding like a sanctimonious asshole.
Im a vet. The time I spent in the army, while challenging, terrifying and traumatizing, tied me to the flag in a way I just can't express. Putting my life on the line for my country, seeing others fight, maimed or die in the line of duty just further cemented the flag as a symbol I hold dear to my heart. Some people I know say it's akin to brainwashing and indoctrination. I've been called anything and everything under the sun as a insult. But that flag means something to me. I hold it dear to my heart. And so, if I see it burned, spit on, trampled, torn apart or abused in any way, it results in the most violent knee jerk reaction imaginable. It's something I'm able to contain, but the feeling is still there. Maybe it's my time spent working for my government, being constantly aware that I was representing my country and what I viewed as its values, or maybe I am indoctrinated in some way. It mainly has to do with my close, personal connection to the symbol of my country and what I see it as. Sorry to ramble.

Fun fact: If a flag is torn, faded, or soiled, it must be retired. The one way to retire a flag is by cremating it viking style. This goes for any national flag.
