Intentionally, hanging out with stupid people to feel smart.
OR
Performing simple tasks to feel a sense of accomplishment.

Similar to the act of masturbation. Doesn't serve a purpose besides pleasure.
"I heard you were dating that blonde right there."
"That one's kinda dumb; so makes me feel real smart!"
"HAHA! You brain fapping lil bastard!"
