You take a deep breath.

Breathe in.....

breathe out.

You feel at peace. You sense deep comfort and relaxation as you gaze at your computer screen... warm... bright... Happy thoughts fill your head as you let go of the stresses of the day... everything is mellow, calm. You relax your shoulders, your back, you take another deeeeep breath... and exhale slowly.

You reach for the mouse... friendly, like your little pet. It does look like a mouse. You smile. It's your friend. You maneuver it... you watch the little pointer move about the screen, that fun little arrow.

You hover over the various options... you move over the "vote for" button and you feel at once a sense of alignment with the universe, a oneness.

You click the bun button. Nirvana. As you click it a bun appears... as if from an all seeing... all loving entity that embraces you... takes you in... loves you...

SNAP SNAP!!

Okay, end of experiment, let's see how this worked.

Decided to try it myself. When I came out of the trance there was a bun there.

Was it still warm?

I read it as a fairly accurate description of any halfbakery interaction I have ever had. Except the bollox about the bun stuff. That's just wishful thinking.

(Checks bun count)

NOTES:

Another subject reported strong engagement at a subconscious level, but not any more than any other post they've read on the HB. Also was not moved to click the bun button, even suggesting that at a subconscious level on the part of the experimenter, there was outcome linked cognitive dissonance affecting the methodology of the study.

I am now a croissant. Which means I'll act like a croissant, and be happy here. May I have a multitude of butter melting between my pointy arms? Never wake me up, Please.

I bun that nice idea. (In spirit)

And I can't say how happy I am to see a post from you here Blissy!

What a delightful thing to say, you doctor, you.

ACTUALLY, I AM THE BAKER FORMERLY KNOWN AS BLISSMISS.

(You may now call me CA though, as in "Cross Ant".)
