Fun fact: my bf claps when he is incredibly angry. It's an odd behavior and even he doesn't know why he does it, but I do know that a lot of his behaviors are self taught bc he was neglected as a small child. Sooooo I guess at it's basest level, clapping really is just a release for an overflow of extreme emotion.

"A spilling over of feeling, unfiltered by language" - v sauce
I worked at a kindergarten and on the rare occasion you'd show the class something they truly found amazing they'd all clap hysterically. The quote above is apt because no one taught these kids to clap yet they all did it in synchronicity and with pure unfiltered joy. Definitely something hard wired I our brains.

“The diarrhea of sound”
Wait... then what is the sound of diarrhea supposed to be?
Clapping is just hitting yourself because you like something.
Dammit. I clicked on this thinking it was "Why Do We Crap?".
The search for answers continues.
We crap because a: there is leftover waste from our digestive system. Also b: it's one of our body's ways of getting rid of harmful bacteria.
A large portion of crap is actually harmful bacteria. And while we do have more secure ways in our body of getting rid of germs, crapping is the best way of getting rid of as many as possible all once. Expelling toxins and harmful microorganisms can happen through our skin and urine as well, and they do so pretty good, but neither of these methods can do it with the same efficiency. And waste is inevitable from our digestive tract, until we switch to eating only pure nutrient tablets and getting rid of all potential harmful bacteria, viruses, and other microorganisms, crapping will always be a big part of our lives.
Holden Roberts, and we clap because we're happy or because we're supposed to. See how the answer alone is different from a vsauce video?
IDontBelieveInPenises Waste literally means non useful stuff, so no point in burdening ourselves to say "non-useful waste".
Also, Every food does has some waste. Read en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Biomagnification
And, Hypothetically, if you did eat pure nutrients with zero harmful bacteria and stuff, no, you would not shit.
Just try eating only fruits for a week, you will notice how considerably less often you shit by the end.
aryaj singh Oh, so you are waste? (Sorry I had to) LOL JK Nah you cool.

I swear to god Michael answers questions I never knew I needed the answer to
I have an old video from a music festival in Austin TX where there was some outdoor restaurants. Music was playing over a loud speaker but there was no band playing, it was just a recording. Everyone knew that because it was an old Janis Joplin song so there was no applause from anyone when the song ended. A little girl and 3 to 4 years old, who wasn't even the focus of the camera, didn't realize the music wasn't live or just hadn't yet understood when to applaud. Well the song ended and she clapped just a few times before quickly stopping and looking around at everyone. Her shoulders slumped and her hands dropped almost disappointed. It was a priceless little kid moment and a real learning moment for her. It's actually my favorite part of that days recording.

Yes, clapping is less disruptive then waving around big objects. But I always like to bring along a tree limb whenever I see a play.
one time my friend and i started slow clapping in a crowd for no reason and other people started joining in not knowing what they were clapping for and we kept getting faster and faster and people were cheering and we got to the point where we were just clapping as fast as we could and then everyone stopped expecting something to happen but there was just silence
Seeing Michael run through that crowd like a rockstar made me SO HAPPY
😂
same it made me laugh too, i think the speaker saying "AMAZING QUESTION" made it better
Vsauce : Clapping shows enthusiasm, admiration, etc.
Me : Clapping to cut short someone's lecture
Because we are happy and we know it
Fun fact: In German and Austrian universities, after a lecture is over, students knock on their tables to applaud the lecturer. It's unknown why they do that instead of clapping.
We also did that in school.

I've become a pretty strong libertarian in the last year, so I have mixed feelings about Trump. The immigration thing is one of the issues I couldn't care less about. I think ending the welfare state would be far more effective than the wall at stopping illegal immigration. I like what he is doing with market deregulation though. Also he seems to be pretty pro-gun which is nice.
Gunny Smith you beat me to it.

About cocooning: I actually love going to the cinema, especially on the release date of a marvel movie because I often had theater experiences as everyone would clap, laugh, cry, or gasp at the same time. I don’t know if that’s a common trend or if that’s just a “quirk” of this specific marvel-audience. I also noticed I sometimes get the urge to clap out of excitement when watching a really good movie scene even if I’m by myself 😅
This reminds me of one time when I was at lunch in middle school, a group of kids started clapping for no reason (I think as a social experiment) and everyone in the cafeteria started clapping. I was on the other side of the cafeteria so no one at my table knew what was going on but everyone around us was looking around confused and clapping so we did the same thing. It was really funny lol. Idk of it was because we where all 12-14 and really wanted to fit in or if it was part of that group mentality, but it was probably that latter because adults where also doing it.
It was a great video that I enjoyed, but I thought the title was "Why do we crap"

Clapping fits quite well for its purpose, its something easy to do and non straining, it doesn't draw attention to any one person locally and when everyone does it it makes a cool sound

Even if the drama hadn’t ended yet, I started a soundy clap.
All crowds around me started clapping for few seconds, after they managed to understand what was going on there.
Really strange, human mind is so weird sometimes...
Clapping is like yelling but doesn't destroy your voice
I think the reason why clapping has become popular as a way of expressing approval and enthusiasm for a performance is because it doesn't interfere with itself and doesn't carry any secondary messages, and also doesn't hurt as much to do to excess. If people chant, they need to carefully focus on staying in tune while simultaneously keeping up the volume, and if a moderate amount of background noise is present or the message isn't coordinated the words become garbled. Clapping on the other hand just becomes louder the more people do it and the more enthusiasm they do it with, no matter how uncoordinated the group is. Similarly, if 10,000 people like a video, it is clearly being shown more approval than a smaller number, even if none of the individual likers coordinate in any way. More likes is just a louder clap, and to extend the analogy further comments can be viewed like the excited hoots and fanmade signs (and occasional boos), distinct from the clapping but still adding to the applause. Of course, comments are even better because they can actually share ideas on the subject, and because of the separating power of computers the individual voices can be heard separately and understood rather than being muddled or lost in the noise.
