So, okay, here's something that it could be.

Now, what can I do about that?

That's how we develop rituals around these things and all sorts of crazy beliefs.

I mean, that's what a conspiracy is, is someone plotting to harm you.

True crime and conspiracies would be the two major media examples.

Yes, there's the data back that up.

So true crime in particular, women tend to not only seek it out more, but enjoy it more and enjoy specific scenes sometimes more than men.

So one of the questions I get a lot is, are humans the only morbidly curious creatures, right?

Are we the only ones that are like that?

Is that a unique human trait?

And the answer is yes and no.

No, we're not the only creatures that are morbidly curious, but yes, we have a very unique flavor of it.

So one of the best examples of morbid curiosity in animals would be predator inspection.

So prey animals, let's say a gazelle or a zebra.

These are really pretty easy examples for people to imagine if you're a zebra or gazelle and you're on the Savannah, you're having your brunch.

And in the case of a zebra, a lion walks up or a gazelle, a cheetah walks up.

What do you do?

I'm imagining if I'm a zebra, I'm going to run away.

I don't want to hang out if there's a lion nearby, right?

The problem with that is, do either of you have cats at home?
