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!
contemplate the orb
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
:meow-fiesta:
How much foil
Roald Dahl made a little metal ball out of foil sweet wrappers and it’s on display in the Roald Dahl museum in Great Missenden.
Btw I’m on the United Kingdom - Hexbear Tourism Board.
No, but that’s mostly because I don’t actually have that many rubber bands around. I have seen one made by a friend and apparently they just get more and more round the larger they get, limited only by the shape of individual rubber bands making it impossible to form a perfect sphere-
