Punding :
Punding is human activity characterized by compulsive fascination with and performance of repetitive, mechanical tasks, such as assembling and disassembling, collecting, or sorting household objects. For example, punding may consist of activities such as:
- collecting pebbles and lining them up as perfectly as possible,
- disassembling doorknobs and putting them back together again,
People engaging in punding find immersion in such activities comforting, even when it serves no purpose, and generally find it very frustrating to be diverted from them.
Punding is the result of dopamine overactivity. It is commonly associated with side effects of drugs used against Parkinson's disease and with the use of methamphetamine (in which context it is known as tweaking), which increases dopamine release and blocks its uptake. In Parkinson's Disease it can be cured by lowering the medication dose, or adding (atypical) antipsychotics, which act by counteracting the effect of dopamine.
Punding is also similar to behaviors associated with autism.

Get the Punding mug.Puking dinosaur is an improvisational theater game in which a group of people stand in a circle and one person starts a physical action with a vocal sound. This person does this action to another person, walking to them in the process, and then the next person does their best impresion of the action-sound, but hieghtening it, raising the intesity, and taking it to the next level. This causes a natural and organic change or mutation in the action-sound. This is repeated for each person until the action-sound combonation resembles somthing like a puking dinosaur. An alternate version in everyone does the action-sound to the person on their left and it goes around in a circle. This second version of puking dinosaur mutates much faster.
