I was listening to Andrew Huberman's Huberman lab podcast and there was a short segment that got me. He stated that there are (might be in humans) specific neuropeptides that are released on perceived lack of social connections/interaction. That in turn causes paranoia, fear and agression among possible other effects.
I found this study that states that this experiment was done in flies and mice (to confirm mammals having this mechanism).
I cannot really give any extra information about this, except that I looked back on my behaviour in the past months or so. It feels like I am incredibly paranoid and fearful at times when I did not recently interact with people who are already close to me.
I have to add that I might also be depressed. Going on a holiday with my family did not really elevate my mood or lack of motivation. However I feel a bit less like I am being ripped off, unequally dealt with or socially abandoned by other people.
I concluded that it might be essential for ya'll folks to be already having interacted, especially with people who you bond with, BEFORE you try to do it to people that are more like strangers to you. Maybe that is what a Wingman could do to certain people.
People who fear going out of their house might also consider whether they had personal (not through internet) interactions with any friends or relatives they like recently.
I don't want to step on anybody's toes here, but the amount of non-dad jokes here in this subreddit really annoys me. First of all, dad jokes CAN be NSFW, it clearly says so in the sub rules. Secondly, it doesn't automatically make it a dad joke if it's from a conversation between you and your child. Most importantly, the jokes that your CHILDREN tell YOU are not dad jokes. The point of a dad joke is that it's so cheesy only a dad who's trying to be funny would make such a joke. That's it. They are stupid plays on words, lame puns and so on. There has to be a clever pun or wordplay for it to be considered a dad joke.
Again, to all the fellow dads, I apologise if I'm sounding too harsh. But I just needed to get it off my chest.
Do your worst!
I'm surprised it hasn't decade.
For context I'm a Refuse Driver (Garbage man) & today I was on food waste. After I'd tipped I was checking the wagon for any defects when I spotted a lone pea balanced on the lifts.
I said "hey look, an escaPEA"
No one near me but it didn't half make me laugh for a good hour or so!
Edit: I can't believe how much this has blown up. Thank you everyone I've had a blast reading through the replies 😂
It really does, I swear!
Because she wanted to see the task manager.
Heard they've been doing some shady business.
They’re on standbi
Pilot on me!!
Nothing, he was gladiator.
Dad jokes are supposed to be jokes you can tell a kid and they will understand it and find it funny.
This sub is mostly just NSFW puns now.
If it needs a NSFW tag it's not a dad joke. There should just be a NSFW puns subreddit for that.
Edit* I'm not replying any longer and turning off notifications but to all those that say "no one cares", there sure are a lot of you arguing about it. Maybe I'm wrong but you people don't need to be rude about it. If you really don't care, don't comment.
Or would that be too forward thinking?

This morning, my 4 year old daughter.
Daughter: I'm hungry
Me: nerves building, smile widening
Me: Hi hungry, I'm dad.
She had no idea what was going on but I finally did it.
Thank you all for listening.
Where ever you left it 🤷♀️🤭

It was about a weak back.
