I was today (actually last week) years old when I found out that 3D dream catchers were a thing.

I really need try something like this out.
A hanging spherical ornament with 3 black hoops in orthogonal planes. The horizontal plane has black tassles with black, red, yellow, and white beads and feather tips. Inside the sphere is a topology of brown netting with copper and turquoise beads, and a large turquoise sphere suspended in the center.

I do enjoy making a good spiral!

Here's what the physical dice actually look like, which is much closer, but it's possible multiple different games used these dice!

That's the only game that I know of that has dice with numbers like that 😂

#mathober2025 Day 18: Primitive

Going for a sort of virtual particle animation for this one! This one is very poorly optimized.

Something like this maybe! You may have to get creative with composition of edges to make them actual categories 😏

Bikes are fantastic, but almost nothing beats down escalators, which can actually *generate* electricity.
A paragraph of text with the Yoda "There is another" meme below. The paragraph reads: "MECs’ variable-speed capability allows escalators to save energy during start-up and in slower-run modes. For down escalators, MECs also support regenerative braking operation, in which the motor acts as a generator when passengers are being transported downward, turning brake heat into energy that can be used to power other systems. Keep in mind that if the MEC is programmed for regenerative braking, the electrical distribution system must be protected from short circuits."

I'm going to consider getting "Thank you" as a win state.
A digital chat conversation on a messaging app discusses accessing YouTube in China. The dialogue features a gray and blue color scheme, with one user noting that YouTube is blocked and suggests a VPN as a solution. Another user asks about VPN options and whether they are free, to which different suggestions, including Nord VPN and a free option with the Opera browser, are provided. A thank you message ends the dialog. The bottom of the chat has a text input field labeled "Type a message..." with a blue "Send" button.

Sometimes I like getting Claude to agree with me, then to have it follow up with an insane statement.
Text that reads: "This is brilliant! A high-dimensional sphere with geodesic trajectories elegantly solves the PDS tampering problem through geometric constraints. Let me work through the implications"

A tread of bluesky posts by me featuring a small pixel art image depicting various geometric shapes in yellow and gray tones. The posts contain the text "Also, it seems like the actual issue was I can't have the snapshot time be a decimal in the metadata??? VERY strange." and "Ok I'm now storing the capture time as a string, problem solved!" The "We're all trying to find the guy who did this" meme

Casually updating a doc in a doc, and it even has a different editor bar! Kinda insane.

Hehehehe
A leaflet on the Publication "Foldster's Publications" with title "Foldster's Publications" and description "A meta publication of all of Foldster's publications." On the page is an embedded website of this same article, and in that article an embed of the same article, and so on.
