I'm a loser and made my own. I ran out of q-tips, so it's not perfect, but damn close.

[–] [email protected] 21 points 1 week ago

Looks like a winner to me

[–] [email protected] 15 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago)

That's impressive. Well done.

[–] [email protected] 9 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago)

Yeah I read the post and didn’t take the intended lesson. I said “oh! I can make that!”

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 week ago

Caffeine doesn't do much for me, in fact it often seems to make me sleepy

[–] [email protected] 22 points 1 week ago

you probably have adhd, source: literally me

[–] [email protected] 15 points 1 week ago (1 children)

An atypical response to caffeine is one of the most consistent markers of ADHD I've seen in the wild. I've yet to meet someone who has it and didn't have some level of ADHD symptoms as well.

[–] [email protected] 14 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Symptoms? Yes. Diagnosable? That's a different story...

[–] [email protected] 13 points 1 week ago (1 children)

True. I tend to hang out with a lot of high functioning weirdos. We worked out that about half of us either were diagnosed with various neurodiversities, or reasonably could be. Several got diagnosed, after the caffeine point.

Unfortunately, high functioning ADHD diagnosis can be VERY hit and miss. My diagnosis was apparently fairly blatant. A friend, with very similar experiences and issues, got the opposite end of the deal. Since he could hold down a job, he obviously had no issues. A depressing chunk is down to the personal opinion of the assessor.

[–] [email protected] 9 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Yep!!!! Hold down a job so you're fine! Not to mention the last time my house was clean was 7 years ago when i took a half dose of adderall...

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 week ago

My house might be tidy... one day... I don't think it's been truly tidy in over a decade.

[–] [email protected] 11 points 1 week ago

If I drink A LOT of caffeine it will keep me awake, but in a groggy rapid heart beat kind of way.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 2 weeks ago

Caffeine doesn't do much for me, unless I have taken my Elvanse. Then it can be like I am too focused to actually focus on things.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Coffee is anxiety sleepy juice that provides an elevated heart rate

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 week ago

Coffee = brain wants to nap, body is vibrating too hard to relax.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 2 weeks ago

I struggle with falling asleep and it gets worse with caffein. So I never drink a lot of it after 16:00

[–] [email protected] 24 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Yes, but that top layer isn't square. There's one more row towards the top left. Some Qs need to be removed or added to bring balance to the qube.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 week ago

Close enough

[–] [email protected] 22 points 1 week ago (1 children)

I am considering doing this as soon as i so scrolling

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 week ago (2 children)

How many ears³ can that clean?

[–] [email protected] 16 points 1 week ago (2 children)

you know you are not supposed to put them in your ears, right?

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Grammy always said never put anything other than your elbow in your ear...

Inner ear is off limits. Can still be useful for the outer ear. For most people, cleaning the outer ear will let the inner ear take care of itself.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago) (1 children)

You will compact your earwax and it will get steadily more and more blocked up. Don't ask me how I know this.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 1 week ago (2 children)

Outer ear. Blockages aren't an issue for the outer ear.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 week ago (3 children)

If it's too deep for your finger, it's too deep for qtips. Don't use qtips.

They also irritate the skin in a way that your finger doesn't.

If you have gunk that's not coming out with your finger, pippette small quantities of olive oil in, leave it there for a bit and tip it back out into some kitchen roll. Repeat once or twice a day for a week or longer if necessary.

MUCH, MUCH easier than that is DON'T compact the ear wax by using qtips in your ear.

You think you're scooping stuff out, and it feels so good, but you're compacting it on the way in and irritating the skin on the twist, promoting more ear wax. You'll think you have some hearing loss from noise, but it'll be the compacted ear wax because you didn't listen to the advice everyone gave you to not use qtips. Use your finger, but don't use qtips.

With patience, something ADHDers have in a abundance for the weirdest thing at the wrong time

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 week ago

I think they used q-tips!

[–] [email protected] 17 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Ok but how do you even begin assembling this thing?

[–] [email protected] 19 points 1 week ago

This post inspired me to make my own. I started by laying 10 q-tips on the table, then another layer of 10 perpendicular, and kept going until I had 10 layers of each. In hind sight, I recommend doing 9x9, because the next step was to poke q-tips through the grid vertically, and that pushed the other layers around and some fell off. Once you have the 9x9x9 cube, you can fill in the edges to get 10x10x10. Note that the final cube will actually be a few short of exactly 10x10x10 due to the way the shapes hold together.

Oh yeah, a "caffeine pill" eh?

new street slang for crystal meth

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 week ago (1 children)

That's just macrodosing Adderall

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 week ago

quite different, actually… it’s amazing what a slightly different chemical can do pharmacologically…
even an isomer of the same chemical can be completely different… you can buy Levo-methamphetamine at CVS right now as a nasal decongestant… dextro-methamphetamine is what’s illegal….

In my case it would be took my Adderall so I could do coursework and then-

[–] [email protected] 13 points 1 week ago

HAHA! I was just trying to explain this to my wife. I was like

"Okay, yes, it DOES help you get stuff done but it's kinda like casting magic...You need the right intention and materials in front of you, or else it backfires and you end up focusing super hard on the first silly, likely useless thing that grabs your attention, and forget time is still moving..."
