Newton’s Cradle
Great for focus, like a decaying metronome
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
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.
More monitors…you can never have enough monitors
my gpu disagrees and doesn’t want to do more than 4 :(
I have a small diecast dumpster on my desk that people always comment on.
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)
Do tech decks count? I still fuck with tech decks.
You betchur goddamn ass they do :)
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.
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
I keep an hourglass. It’s a good way to try and spend a particular amount of time on a task.
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.
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.
