Pause and resume across devices even. Pure psychological torture. Close your laptop and then pick up your phone later and it resumes right where you last saw it. You immediately put your phone down to cut it off because…
I didn't know that "revenge bedtime procrastination" was a term but it definitely describes me. I have to set an alarm for bedtime, but I still struggle with being disciplined about it.
Something similar happened in Australia on a large scale. A soft plastic (single use shopping bag) recycling company called REDcycle which partnered with all the major supermarkets was discovered to be just stockpiling…
I love the idea (as long as they are not rare out of print books). Then burn the loose pages of all the books you've scanned in a bonfire to complete the ritual. The books have now transcended the physical realm and it…
I'm surprised at the amount of negativity in the comments. I use several of the tools and they are great. They do one thing well and don't have the feature bloat that a lot of apps suffer from.
I used to believe that it was harmless and wasn't somthing that could lead to dependency, but browsing the r/leaves and r/Petioles subreddits has shifted that attitude. Not just the personal accounts but the sheer…

Imagine the constant thwack! sounds of birds flying into the glass.

It's amazing to think how common these sorts of myths used to be before the internet. If you heard something like this and wanted to challenge it, you would have to get on the bus and spend a couple of hours at the…
I'd hate to be on call for that!
My thoughts were along this line too. The village children spent one summer having a daily frog catching competition then chucked them in the pit at the end of each day. Hundreds of years later it's an archeological…
This haiku is deep You will 'get it' in the end Might take you ten k years though
That's horrible
The goal is not to "get kids to do chores" per se, but to raise adults who are self sufficient and self reliant. "Chores" is a bit of a loaded word because I think a lot of people associate it with dread and a sort of…
