A Fediverse community for open-ended, thought provoking questions
Rules: (interactive)
1) Be nice and; have fun
Doxxing, trolling, sealioning, racism, and toxicity are not welcomed in AskLemmy. Remember what your mother said: if you can't say something nice, don't say anything at all. In addition, the site-wide Lemmy.world terms of service also apply here. Please familiarize yourself with them
2) All posts must end with a '?'
This is sort of like Jeopardy. Please phrase all post titles in the form of a proper question ending with ?
3) No spam
Please do not flood the community with nonsense. Actual suspected spammers will be banned on site. No astroturfing.
4) NSFW is okay, within reason
Just remember to tag posts with either a content warning or a [NSFW] tag. Overtly sexual posts are not allowed, please direct them to either !asklemmyafterdark@lemmy.world or !asklemmynsfw@lemmynsfw.com.
NSFW comments should be restricted to posts tagged [NSFW].
5) This is not a support community.
It is not a place for 'how do I?', type questions.
If you have any questions regarding the site itself or would like to report a community, please direct them to Lemmy.world Support or email info@lemmy.world. For other questions check our partnered communities list, or use the search function.
6) No US Politics.

Zippo is the figit toy of boomers.
Roller bearings, they're so satisfying.
Arch lighters. I have one that fits in a zippo case!
Bumble ball, it's a baby toy with a spinning motor in it, bounces around wildly when you hit the button. As an adult, these things are hilarious and a holding one is a great ADHD stim.
You can make a herbarium out of snack jars from dollar tree. I've never had so much fun looking at a jar of dirt.
Oragami. Any time I'm left unattended with scrap paper I the area with butterflies and flowers. Keeps the hands busy and everyone gets blown away by it.
Are you sure that's an herbarium? Herbariums usually are press dried plants and looks like this.
Terrarium is probably what they meant, though it wouldn't surprise me if the term might be used differently in different languages, even.
Yup, that's the thing I'm looking for lol that's what I get for typing before breakfast.
Other guy got me right, terrarium is what I was thinking of lol.
I've been meaning to get a jar of pond water and bottom mud on my windowsill for years.
It can be very satisfying. I have a tequila bottle full of algae that's been minding its own for years.
