Newton’s Cradle
Great for focus, like a decaying metronome
I have a gemstone (I forget what kind, it’s a dark purple though) worry stone. It’s just the right shape to rest in my hand and let me rub my thumb over it. I don’t really use it for that often, but on occasion it’s nice to just hold a cool stone, literally and figuratively.
I have a “This is Fine” dog Funko Pop on my desk at work. He works well for rubber ducky programming, and he encapsulates the feelings I typically have after dealing with some of my clients.
This isn’t my picture, but it’s a similar setup:
How that that doggo not have his own syndicated cartoon by now?
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.
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
I have a small diecast dumpster on my desk that people always comment on.
I want this now
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 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)
I bought this to hold my forklift certification card
Don’t you need a lego forkclift license to possess and operate one of thos?
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.
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.
lets be honest its your phone running a lemmy app.
Beliw the belt, brah 😅
I have a yarn Yoshi amiibo that puts a smile on my face
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.
The Dynavap m7xl Rosium. I don’t think you even have to know what a dynavap is or what its used for to appreciate its aesthetic appeal.
Its the most beautiful metal stick ive ever had the pleasure of holding. The way it changes color as it reflects light is so cool. You can just spin it around and fidget with the cap while watching the colors. I am considering get in a spinning base to put it on so I can watch it rotate automatically
Nice. I’m on the brink of buying a M7 to complement my collection. Do you think it’s worth it? I probably won’t showcase it on my desk.
