  • have you tried something to focus before starting a task?

    I like a small bit of a not very addicting game before I start something, so I can get in the zone, and assess where my head is.

    Just an easy sudoku or bejeweled- something you can knock out in under a minute. I started doing this around 14ish and it helped with school a lot.

    If they’re younger, you being there to keep them on track is important, but asking them to assess how they feel based on that little game could be a great self assessment tool.












  • I doubt it, seeing as all the cavity consists of tapered shapes. A mushroom would leave behind some evidence of being sealed inside, and the mushroom cap structure grows above ground, while spuds grow buried underneath soil. It logistically doesn’t quite check out IMO.

    What I suspect happens in these kinds of shapes- and I see them fairly often -is that the potato simply expands as it grows, and it just pulls apart at some point of stress, kinda like a warped piece of wood.

    Except its an oblate spheroid, so it “cracks” in the center.

    This could be some kind of encapsulated material, I don’t know the details of how potatoes protect themselves from foreign bodies.

    But, in theory, there could be some kinda dead fungus in there, slain by a potato-based void…?



  • This is the case of an article misconstruing the meaning of a scientific paper… again.

    From what I gather, this is meant to mean the specific context of a gesture having the explicit, consistent purpose- that when it flutters, it means that its partner is supposed to do a specific activity with their nest.

    So its not just the context sensitive “I’m letting you go first” like with a cat, or with many other creatures, its more akin to someone texting their spouse “Can you put the kettle on?”

    The bizarre thing with this really is that its a visual cue, because we see this all the time with sounds, in all kinds of critters.



  • Pathos NetHack (The OG Roguelike’s very newbie friendly fork and UI)

    Rogue Saga (A simple, bare bones Roguelike, nice for a casual run)

    Orna (If old school Final Fantasy were Pokemon Go, and didn’t have predatory monetization schemes) Heroes of Aethric is its non-GPS sibling.

    Most of my free android games came from when Amazon did its Amazon Underground thing years ago, so you’re kinda SoL on that, sorry.

    Or just… these but oreos.

    The trick for these cookies is sour cream, and the flavor for oreos comes from black cocoa.

    Your post is deliciously dangerous.

    And also detrimental to my search history because autocorrect decided to “help” when I was looking up black “cocoa” and I am decidedly nonsexual asexual.

    I just had to reset my phone. And now I remember ehy I had that feature turned off.
