I know I am a few years late to this trend, but I did that thing that used to be huge on the internet and took a hammer to a bunch of aluminum foil and it actually worked! I thought it would be terrible, because every guide I found eventually suggested that you bring out your belt grinder and a bottle of aluminum polish, and I am not a metal worker, so I don't have that. Turns out you can get a very satisfying ball of aluminum with just the foil, a hammer, any kind of flat surface to work on and some toilet paper for polishing.
It's shiny and I made it and I can use it as a stress ball by just tossing it from one hand to the other and feeling the satisfying weight. I love it!
might have reminded you of the recent pondering my orb memes
no, i could have sworn it was from a video game. like some kinda rpg where you had to "interact" with an orb, and the first few times you did so the prompt was just "contemplate the orb"...but maybe i've totally invented that memory
I think you're right (page won't load for me but it looks like maybe the image and text are sourced from an old LOTR RPG)
Yeah, it's from an old LOTR Rpg book. It's inguess supposed to be Saruman and one of the Palantiri but there's also a hobbit in the background creeping up on him and that never happened.
That one is going down as an all time favorite for me.
it's so good
