Humans can turn anything into a competition! / myLot

Humans are funny, they (we) are so ridiculously competitive! Today I just discovered a whole new ‘sport’ I didn’t know existed. There is obviously absolutely no need for it and I struggle to think of any real-world application for these skills. Some people just have too much time on their hands. The sport is… cup stacking! Entrants compete to stack and unstack plastic cups in different formations in the shortest possible time. You can watch here, if you don’t have anything better to do that is!! Have you heard of this before? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ca0T_vUJBuQ&t=15s

Yes I saw a Japanese female host learning all the strange skills learn this, went into the cup stacking Olympic joining the professional, and win bronze in the girl open categories and team category.

I watched a speed stacking competition on one of the YT channels I watch. They had short clips of it going on... It is boring unless you're the one racing, in my opinion.
