What's the difference between excited and super-excited?

I notice that all the podcast hosts are super-excited by their guests and/or visa versa - no matter how obscure. Eg Max Lugavere. And the guy on Bloomberg just said he was super-excited about the Fed's decision to keep interest rates on hold. What is the science? How can I get my wife super-excited?

A youtuber is excited from their ground state to a higher state by absorbing a donation with exactly the right amount of money. If the donation is "off-resonant" (meaning its money does not perfectly match the money gap of the channel), excitation usually fails.The SUPER scheme breaks this rule by using superchats.

The Process: The algorithm interacts with the viewer in a specific sequence. First, other fake donations gently shift the money levels via the Stark effect. Then the following superchat completes the transition to the excited state.

This is known as super-excitation.

The difference is merely the "super" as previously state so eloquently.

One is where you're just really happy, the other is when you are really happy but have golden spiky hair with bulging muscles

Super-excited is just being excited, but you are wearing a cape.

Super-excited wears a cape and loses it’s excitement if you throw excinyte towards them.
