    That’s adorable 🥰 Actually it looks like an infant and so arouses the caregiver instinct;you react as though you would to a baby. It’s a test of your character how you react to it.

      It arouses the what? You’re seeing a face due to pareidolia- the psychological phenomenon that causes you to see patterns in a jumble of other shapes. All it takes is two dots and a line to make a face; you can find half a dozen in a plank of wood- and you’re saying if people don’t want to take care of an onion then they’ve failed this character test of yours? Do I have that right?

        I’m saying if you have a strong caregiver instinct and maybe some experience with babies you’ll think it’s adorable and if you don’t you wont.

        And to further clarify, I’m not suggesting that one is better than another. Just that this “happy little face” functions as a projective test to elicit a particular reaction in susceptible people.
