Drinking morning coffee. Feels great.

A cat rubbing its head against you.

I love it, so warm, so soft.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago)

When your kid runs at you to give you the most enthusiastic hug of your life just because.

Yeah, sex is cool, but have you ever closed like 50 browser tabs after finishing an annoying project?

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Sex for me usually involves closing 50 browser tabs right after.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 17 hours ago

Is porn an annoying project [spams a bunch of thinking emoji]

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Waking up to a quiet, clean house every day, with no children.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 day ago

Preach. Or human roommates, I would add in my case.

The "I figured it out!" feeling!!! Solving a particularly difficult problem, or the moment when something you've been struggling to understand finally "clicks."

I've been in love, had great food and drinks and been to a few amazing far off places, had great orgasms, enjoyed awesome stories in various forms of media, etc. but nothing compares.

Fixing something you thought was probably going to end up trashed is also a great feeling. I would call it a subcategory of the "I figured it out!" feeling, though.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 day ago

This, especially while coding. I was thinking about a problem for like 30 minutes and then finally figured it out.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 2 days ago

I agree along with the flash of insight that lightning strikes you and you know it in your body before becoming aware of it consciously

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 day ago

This is it. Doesn't matter if you spent 60min, 10h, 100h, 1000h,... on it - that's accomplishment.

[–] [email protected] 9 points 1 day ago

I have a good family life. Making a coffee and tea first thing in the morning for my wife, getting a slap on the butt, asking me 'how was your sleep suckhead?'

[–] [email protected] 23 points 2 days ago

"To crush your enemies, see them driven before you, and to hear the lamentations of their women."

Just kidding. I have no idea. Some would say love, I've been fortunate enough to have a caring family, but I've never known "true love" of another not from my family.

[–] [email protected] 18 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Falling into a nice comfy bed when you're exhausted and just passing out

Using an actual flushing toilet after being out in the wilderness for even just a few days

Orgasms

Eating your favorite meal

Having your back scratched or getting a massage

Apparently I think the best feelings have to do with the physical and not the mental, not sure why that is

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 day ago

Using an actual flushing toilet after being out in the wilderness for even just a few days

That first shower though! And I count music festivals as being in the wilderness for a few days.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 day ago

Top for me so far was hearing my fiancée say yes when I asked her to marry me. I've beaten brain cancer twice, but hearing her say yes to forever with me beats that by a massive margin

[–] [email protected] 9 points 2 days ago

Feeling your butt cheeks on the toilet seat just before you lose the battle to hold everything in.

[–] [email protected] 12 points 2 days ago (1 children)

I've heard the greatest feeling in the world is holding your baby for the first time, but I can’t speak to that yet. For me, though, it’s the feeling of being in love with your best friend. It's a deep, effortless connection where it feels like they’re a part of you. When they’re not around, it’s this constant longing, this ache of missing them, and the thoughts of them that never really stop. It’s wanting to see them happy, to be the one who brings them joy, and realizing how much they mean to you in every little moment. It’s the kind of love that makes everything else feel brighter, like life just wouldn’t be the same without them in it.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 2 days ago

This is comletely true, except it didn't kick in for me until my child was around for a few days. The first 48 hours, I was too brain dead for it to sink in. My advice to soon-to-be parents is not to feel guilty if you're not immediately star-struck; it can take time.

After a week or so I felt exactly as you described. It's incredible.

[–] [email protected] 15 points 2 days ago (3 children)

To hold one’s child for the first time.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 2 days ago (1 children)

I don't have one, would it work if I hold yours?

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 days ago

My youngest is 7 and kind of a big guy.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 2 days ago

My newborn is now 8 years old and I still think holding her is the greatest feeling in the world.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 days ago (6 children)

That skin to skin is amazing, hearing that first breath/cry.

As of this morning, I can tell you the WORST deeling in the world

[–] [email protected] -3 points 1 day ago (2 children)

I was hoping completely unrelated comments like these would disappear after the election but some people sure are persistent. Also if seeing the wrong candidate win is the worst feeling you can imagine then you should work on your personality a little bit because defining yourself solely by politics can't be healthy.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Welp this is asklemmy and this is an answer, maybe not the answer that validates your thoughts, but an answer that is not a joke or a meme.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 day ago (1 children)

It is an answer. One that's totally off topic. The previous comment was a little harsh but I'm quite tired of people making everything about politics.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 day ago

Comment OP did not mention politics, is just off topic. Anything from his pet died to he coping with a loss are valid feelings. In the event you're getting hurt for people expressing their opinions and feelings about politics, dude, I think you're not ready to go out.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 1 day ago (1 children)

God damn this is stupid. People area gonna die and worse. Use your damn head.

Laying down in your own bed after traveling for a bit

[–] [email protected] 8 points 2 days ago

When I go to bed and my dog shoves himself under the covers and tucks himself in the crook of my knees. Or when he rests his chin on my ankle.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 2 days ago

When I'm dragged across an array of sharp raised metal bumps on a plane until there's a pile of me in strips and chunks on the plate below.

No, wait, that's the grate-ist feeling, sorry.

[–] LambdaRX 8 points 2 days ago

Cold glass of water.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 2 days ago (1 children)

The feeling of being loved.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 day ago

What's it like, Ron?

[–] [email protected] 6 points 2 days ago

An orgasm, best if shared with someone you love. Highest rate of happy chemicals ever.

Second place goes to watching a campfire shortly after the sun goes down. So relaxing.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 days ago

Taking a decent hit of acid once it kicks in smoking a few bong hits then having sex. Best feeling ever!

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 days ago

When the woman you are madly in love with proposes to you.

Or when your child for the first time says "Dada" and pulls on your beard.
