The catalyst was the Costco scooter and from there it was just a matter of hunting down something with the right specs, but what led me to trying it that day? I don’t know, probably some combination of “they were right there and obviously free to try” and “I really really wanted to sit down right then” (maybe we parked far away).

I think it’s not unrelated to https://www.lesswrong.com/posts/9ZodFr54FtpLThHZh/experiential-pica as a concept. If you do something weird, that might just be you being weird, but there could also be an underlying problem you could fix.
