What Gives People Feelings Of Power

This longer bar is filled with an unconventional, specific, or even mundane action or situation that ironically provides an exaggerated feeling of power, satisfaction, or control. It's widely used to humorously highlight niche or relatable scenarios that give people a disproportionate sense of accomplishment, often subverting expectations in a comedic way.

Common applications include resisting junk food, avoiding impulse purchases, or trying to focus while being distracted by appealing alternatives.
