cinnibun-krysanthemum

I’m guessing the orange one was the original? Maybe just ran out of the other filament but idk. It did make it a little weird but it was still super cool!!

who is this... who is this question directed to? People who have some actual dietary reason to avoid fruit? Who looks at a fruit plate and goes “nuh-uh, not unless I have a week and a 20k cash prize on the line.” Is the fruit platter actually the size of a four door sedan?? Has it been poisoned? Who made this??

It’s 2:00am and I have finally finished the shawl that I have been working on to wear to Easter breakfast. Which is at 10:00am.

May you all find joy equal to or greater than the joy this woman is having with her new hobby

nahfuckyallimremaking-deactivat

beardedmrbean

You are 100% on to something here

If we could bottle the joy that would be created in that room we'd have world peace at last

Very generous of them to describe it as the "Thinking Period"

They correctly excluded the outlier Electroshocks Georg

Okay if anyone wants to read this themselves it's called "Just think: The challenges of the disengaged mind" (Wilson et al., 2014). DM me if you don't have university access and I'll hook you up with a pdf.

To summarize:

The paper starts with an epigraph from Paradise Lost, so you know it's gonna slap

The main focus of the paper was mind-wandering. The main questions: is entering "default mode" (mentally detaching from your surroundings and ~traveling inward~) a choice? And, is it generally a pleasing experience?

(^Answers: no and no)

Most previous research involves a given task for participants to channel their focus, and mind-wandering was measured by deviation from said task. So the present researchers said "Ok but what if NO task?"

This paper reports on 11 studies. In most, participants had nothing to do. In others, they had the option to read a book, listen to music, or surf the web. The first studies were college students; other studies recruited other locals.

The electric shock wasn't introduced until study 10.

Before the "thinking period" they were exposed to pleasant and unpleasant stimuli, including the shock. So they knew what they were in for if they chose to receive the shock in the thinking period. There was no "What does this button do?" They chose pain.

"Sit here and think" and "receive shock" weren't their only options. They could also revisit the "pleasant" stimuli from part 1 of study 10.

The sentence that gets cut off in the above screenshot is: "Note that these results only include participants who had reported that they would pay to avoid being shocked again."

That's fucking priceless because in the first part of the study, participants were asked which pleasant/unpleasant stimuli they would pay to experience again or pay to avoid. These people reported that if they were given $5, they would use that money to not be shocked again. And then they chose to do it to themselves for free.

Important update (and very concerning in the case of electroshocks Georg)

ok im obsessed w this tag

iwearmygreencoatatnight

once in grade 6 I saw a 'pottery making club' in a ditch on the schoolyard- I assume at some point someone realized there was actually good quality clay in the ditch and when I walked up there were about a dozen 12 year olds sitting around the few girls who had brought their water bottles out to mix the clay, and a designated spot to put the finished bowls and tablets, and people going off and collecting sticks to make designs with and i really think that's the natural state of the human race

In elementary school I learned that you can make paint out of certain sedimentary rocks on the playground if you crushed them and mixed with water and at one point I had up to 25 kindergarten through third graders making cave paintings on the underside of the slides
