       Wow this is fascinating and counterintuitive: people don't just prefer sloppily wrapped presents, but they prefer what's inside the package "significantly" more when it is sloppily wrapped. What a COOL experiment https://theconversation.com/the-science-of-gift-wrapping-explains-why-sloppy-is-better-128506

       @fuzztech that's exactly the reason i only make monster wraps for presents. I mean i could perfectly wrap this shit (at least in toeory) but i cooose not to ! :blobcatwhistle:

       @fuzztech Probably a matter of expectation. If it's neatly wrapped you expect more. If it's sloppily wrapped you expect less. So whatever is inside will surprise you or disappoint you according to your expectation.Myself, my excitement about what's inside grows if it's neatly wrapped, and that's better that whatever's inside.

       @maritzac I'd go with a "perfect is less personal".

       @otyugh I guess it depends if you know the person well enough to know if they are good wrappers.
