What's the most baffling thing about neurotypical people?

Honestly, people accept a lot of things as “normal” that are patently absurd when looked at from another perspective. Even amongst NT folks, food, and whether something is considered disgusting, edible, or really great is often a cultural thing so can be quite different.

American pale ales. [shudder]
hedgie:
I’m not a fan of pale ales in general, and the IPA craze baffles me entirely. Why the fuck would I ever want to drink something that’s as horribly bitter as the twisted and decayed remnants of my soul? Give me a good stout or porter any day.

Hmmm, Cassels Milk Stout. I love living in NZ: https://cassels.nz/product/milk-stout/

I'm told it's actually [for the taste]. Ditto for the drink additives 'bitters'. I know different people have different preferences[1], and whatever that adage about experiencing bitterness and sweetness is. But, that doesn't change the fact that bitterness generally triggers my brain to scream 'that's poison, spit it out'.
[1] I'm frequently told how odd my tastes are. At least my preference for Jaeger usually shuts up the people making fun of me for not liking beer. I'm also particularly they fond of proper black licorice (Wiley Wallaby and Darrell Lea), and other older flavors.
EDIT: trimming overshare
Thrillho:
I don't understand beer either but then I drink scotch so what do I know
I absutelt powered through with scotch originally as a flex and then eventually did really like it
