(599): the fact that you trapped hornets in a mailing tube to put in his mailbox does not surprise me sadly.

Do you know this SFX? #599

It sounds familiar

I've never heard this

Not a clarification request but a request for resources, feel free to ignore this if it's not in your wheelhouse.

I'm struggling to find anything with a comprehensive list of the DDC, what do you use for this blog? Wikipedia & lots of other sites have everything before the decimal point, but everything beyond the decimal point is extremely difficult to find much on. Like i understand how it works, i'm just not sure ~where~ to find all the classifications for these. Hopefully that makes sense, and thank you :)

I use two websites to look up classifications, depending on the niche-ness of the topic. I always start with the Library Thing: Melvil Decimal System.

This is the perfect resource if you already know generally where to look, but sometimes I have no clue where a specific topic might be shelved, so I then go to my local library's website. I look up a book related to that topic, and it tells me exactly where to find it, so I plug that number into the MDS website to confirm it.

I happen to know that mammals are under the 599 category, so if I needed to look up, say, armadillos, I could brute force it via MDS by just looking at each sub-category until I find the right one.

They're not marsupials (599.2) or bats (599.4) so they have to be under rodentia/insectivora (599.3). From there, I know they're not lagamorphs (599.32) or rats/mice (599.35), so they're either xenartha (599.31) or insectivora (599.33). And here they are, 599.312, next to sloths and anteaters.

But I have no clue where I would even start looking for, say, bookbinding. My gut tells me it's somewhere in 6xx (technology) or 7xx (arts and recreation). My library district says 686.3, and what do you know, it's right there.

Very fun to explore the categories and sub-categories!

a ritual for you (the numpad game)

tired of sitting on your butt? want to get to know your environment?

1. make a crude map of your house. number the rooms from 1 to 6. here we have shown a house with 6 rooms but you should do however many rooms you have. act naturally throughout the ritual. Use whatever numbering system feels intuitive to you. The goal is to create a process that is suited for you.

2. subdivide each room into a 3x3 grid of spaces. visualize the number pad on your phone or keyboard. take liberties to make the numbering feel natural to the room. I often assign 0 to the closet. You don't have to do this ahead of time, you can wait to subdivide a room until you enter it.

3. generate a random number between 100 and 699. the more random, the better - dice is good, a quantum mechanism is the best. you can find free quantum number generators online. [1]

the first digit is the room you will enter (step 1)

the second digit is the portion of the room you will visit (step 2)

the third digit is the subsection you will examine (step 3)

4. interact with your randomly generated destination. physically visit the chosen spot. do whatever feels natural. maybe you notice a cup, take it to the kitchen. maybe you see a bug or pet your cat. maybe you find something you had lost.

Examples:

K has 6 rooms in its house. K rolls for a number between 1 and 699... 171. K consults its map and goes to room 1. It enters room 1 and proceeds to quadrant 7, the lower left ninth of the room. This space is occupied by a bookshelf. K decides that the vertical face of the bookshelf will split into sections 1-9 and the top of the shelf is section 0. K looks in section 1, the upper-left corner of the bookshelf, and finds a book on mathematics. K skims a couple pages, replaces the book and heads to the fridge for a bite to eat.

D has 12 rooms. D can roll a number from 100 to 1299. D can modify the ritual and roll 1000 to 12999 if he want to further subdivide each room. What is D looking for?

J splits infinity and visits every location in her house simultaneously.

B finds a long-lost notebook, a phone charger, and a cool spider all in one night!

N plays the ritual outside and is never heard from again. Never play the ritual in a location with enemies.
