Conformity Examples Mega-Thread

Lines at Starbucks and Dutch Bros is conformity for most part. Why do you need coffee at all? If so, why can’t you make it at home? I see a line full of cars and think to myself: You wouldn’t have to wait in line if you just bothered to spend 5 minutes making it a home. Conformity.

Another is the expectation for men to pay for the first date or to make the first move or “be a provider.”

There are conformist and nonconformist reasons for that.

Shooting a gun

Plenty of conformity there. The gun culture in America is nuts. Monkeys with guns.

Yeah. But I mean just me shooting a gun without all that culture nonsense. Me going to the gun range to shoot my Glock is not out of conformity, but I see other shooters with all their gear and stuff and getting gung-ho about it.

Using a fork to eat food could be considered conformity or even the way you hold it. I remember as a kid, I got in trouble for using my hands instead of a fork, so I conformed. I also remember my parents trying to get me to hold the fork "the right way". To this stay, I still eat with a fork the way I want to. Some cultures eat with their hands or chopsticks.

But the act of me holding a fork or using a fork I would say is not conformity unless you are doing it because others told you. This is getting very tricky!!

Movie rankings.  Many popular movies I find mediocre at best including One Battle After Another.  Is it good?  Yes.  Is it as good as it's made out to be, no IMO.

The OG video about conformity before the most recent one.
