    Appreciating something that improves your life makes sense. Saying “thank you” to an inanimate object seems pointless.

      It’s a vocalization of gratitude. It’s pointless except for the fact that you’re a social animal and saying things influences how you think

              and why expressing It verbally would be a weird thing, everyone does things a little bit differently don’t you agree?

                I did not say “weird”. I said “seems pointless”.

                I was careful to avoid judgmental or insulting language. My phrasing suggested that the issue might be ignorance on my part, not because someone else was being “weird”.

                I’d appreciate it if you didn’t put words in my mouth.
