Newton’s Cradle
Great for focus, like a decaying metronome
I’ve got a bobble-head baby Groot. It’s pretty handy to talk to, and it’s a useful branch manager. Plus, it has root access.
I have a small diecast dumpster on my desk that people always comment on.
That is a pretty interesting piece. I’ll have to remember die cast direct whenever I have some space and money to expand my model car collection
I have this one on my desk :D
I had some red paper stuffed in the one side for a little bit too 🤣
I want this now
I bought this to hold my forklift certification card
Don’t you need a lego forkclift license to possess and operate one of thos?
How exactly does a newton’s cradle help with focus? I never had one, and I think I’d end up focusing on the motion of it instead of anything else I’m supposed to be doing.
Just try a youtube video that plays it for like an hour, see if you like it
More monitors…you can never have enough monitors
my gpu disagrees and doesn’t want to do more than 4 :(
Time for another GPU then
I prefer one very large high resolution monitor to multiple.
And it simplifies the cabling a shit ton.
Rubik’s cube. I learned to solve it years back and got interested in speed solving. I just pick it up and solve it a few times throughout the day. It’s also fun to fidget with.
I like those things that are in weird shapes and filled with colored liquids that you flip upside down and does “cool stuff” lol
(I always forget what they’re called)
On my desk, I have a Spring Duck.
If you don’t know what a spring duck is, that’s because I created it out of random shit that we found around the office. Specifically, a plastic duck, and a spring.
The most satisfying thing when I need to fidget is something to take things apart and put back together. And the best things for that are ones that can be stripped and reassembled without me needing to look at them.
So far the best of best is this “multitool pen” I got for secret santa last year. It’s nearly worthless for any of its advertised functions, but as a fidget toy I really like it.
Hands down: Mova globe.
I know how it works, but it still feels like magic. If I had to reduce my pleasure possessions to one item, that would be it.
Shit, that’s awesome. I want one of these.
I have a yarn Yoshi amiibo that puts a smile on my face
I have the same thing on my desk that I keep inside a potted plant
Do tech decks count? I still fuck with tech decks.
You betchur goddamn ass they do :)
you mean those thumb skateboards? ive seen awesome tricks do you have a halfpipe on your desk?
I only have a quarter pipe, but I also have a rail.
cool. have you ever played the mobile game touchgrind?
I keep an hourglass. It’s a good way to try and spend a particular amount of time on a task.
In the before times I had several Lego Batman motorcycles on my work desk. Those are great fun, but live in my home space now.
