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

[-] ztwhixsemhwldvka@lemmy.world 21 points 3 weeks ago

Looks like a winner to me

[-] silverlightBeing@lemmy.ml 16 points 3 weeks ago* (last edited 3 weeks ago)

That's impressive. Well done.

[-] w3dd1e@lemm.ee 9 points 3 weeks ago* (last edited 3 weeks ago)

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

[-] KammicRelief@lemmy.world 6 points 3 weeks ago

Wow.. define loser? That's awesome!

me avoiding preparing for a job interview I really wish I hadn’t seen this or that I were out of q-tips.

Me making an ME System on Minecraft after downloading Applied Energistics 2 mod

[-] Rikj000@discuss.tchncs.de 10 points 3 weeks ago

Best mod ever! <3

[-] scintilla@lemm.ee 2 points 3 weeks ago

I routinely go into Creative mode and wire/route the "perfect" ME controller every few months. It's a fun puzzle to minimize the number of colors required.

[-] Sanctus@lemmy.world 2 points 3 weeks ago

I guess I'm nasty at heart. I just make a phat square, cover it in decorative blocks, and double the inside as drive storage/autocrafter manufacturing. Of course I play too much PO3.

[-] scintilla@lemm.ee 1 points 3 weeks ago

But see if you do that you will only have 10x as many channels as you could ever need and not 1000x.

[-] Sanctus@lemmy.world 2 points 3 weeks ago

I'm gonna attempt that video the other commentor linked. I'm gonna attempt it in PO3. I dont think I can shrink down so I'll have to build it different. Going for a realistic floating island as my home in the skyblock this time around. Its really hard making landscapes by hand.

[-] AlDente@sh.itjust.works 23 points 3 weeks ago

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.

[-] lka1988@lemmy.dbzer0.com 5 points 3 weeks ago

Close enough

[-] HeyThisIsntTheYMCA@lemmy.world 21 points 3 weeks ago

How many ears³ can that clean?

[-] FiskFisk33@startrek.website 16 points 3 weeks ago

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

[-] h3mlocke@lemm.ee 6 points 3 weeks ago

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

[-] davidagain@lemmy.world 3 points 3 weeks ago

My grandpa said the same. A year or two later when he said it again. It was then that I tried it. Gramps!!

[-] frezik@midwest.social 6 points 3 weeks ago

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.

[-] davidagain@lemmy.world 4 points 3 weeks ago* (last edited 3 weeks ago)

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

[-] frezik@midwest.social 8 points 3 weeks ago

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

[-] davidagain@lemmy.world 3 points 3 weeks ago

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.

[-] DragonTypeWyvern@midwest.social 2 points 3 weeks ago

Well, usually

[-] Jarix@lemmy.world 21 points 3 weeks ago

I am considering doing this as soon as i so scrolling

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

[-] h3mlocke@lemm.ee 7 points 3 weeks ago

I think they used q-tips!

[-] flicker@lemmy.dbzer0.com 15 points 3 weeks ago

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

[-] MonkeMischief@lemmy.today 14 points 3 weeks 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..."

[-] lka1988@lemmy.dbzer0.com 3 points 3 weeks ago

Adderall legit helps me focus at work and at home.

[-] flicker@lemmy.dbzer0.com 8 points 3 weeks ago

Me, too, but I for sure need to be trying to do the thing I want to do when it kicks in, or I'll find myself doing something ridiculous because I can.

[-] h3mlocke@lemm.ee 14 points 3 weeks ago

Oh yeah, a "caffeine pill" eh?

[-] Vitaly@feddit.uk 10 points 3 weeks ago

Looks pretty cool

[-] Dadifer@lemmy.world 8 points 3 weeks ago
[-] bottleofchips 4 points 3 weeks ago

No that is time well spent tho

I've been putting off cleaning my bathroom for way too long now, it's scary in there... 😬

[-] gravitas_deficiency@sh.itjust.works 2 points 3 weeks ago* (last edited 3 weeks ago)

lol that’s like the opposite of ADHD. I worked a pretty long day today and had… idk, 10 cups of coffee? I’m not gonna have trouble falling asleep in a couple hours.

Edit: this me joking about the situation. Caffeine is 100% extra stims, and I use it that way.

[-] MonkderVierte@lemmy.ml 2 points 3 weeks ago* (last edited 3 weeks ago)

The neat thing is, if you glue the 12 outermost tips together, you get a nice q-tip stand.
