Dame Dame Dame yooo
I don’t remember if I ever did this in school, but in hindsight - it’s an obvious reaction to almost infinite boredom.
In the days before “fidget toys” were commonly known and/or accepted, before society understood what autism/ADHD looked like in girls, all my erasers suffered this brutality. It probably wouldn’t have had to happen if teachers didn’t keep confiscating my Silly Putty and these things, whatever you call them.
My grades were good, but my hands needed something to do. When you need to stim, you need to stim. Take away the appropriate outlets for it, and you’re left with stabbed erasers and obnoxious pencil-tapping.
Oh wow, that puts things into perspective… Pencil stabbing at elementary school evolved into Super Hexagon speed runs at the university lessons. I haven’t really seen the connection until now. Gotta stim I guess… Now, back to practice pad to practice rudiments.
When you’re watching a video and suddenly para-diddle-diddle para-diddle-diddle
I think I would eat it more times than doing this, but surely this also happened 😅
How deep can you leave a bite impression before it pops in 2 and becomes a choking hazard
why are we like this
We are but simple apes.
The sensation of sharp graphite piercing the soft, yet resilient eraser flesh is soothing for children forced to be still for hours on end while being Industrial Factory inculcated into the systematic destruction of creative thought and whimsy.
I love the media rhetoric about childhood obesity. “It’s those videogames and social media!!!”
Maybe its because we punsihed them when they followed their natural instinct to move their bodies.
Yeah but the obesity craze didn’t kick off until the 70s. We’ve been forcing kids to sit down at school for a lot longer than that.
They were more active outside of school before that, yes, but mostly they didn’t eat an ultra-high-processed diet rich in simple carbs. We know why it happened, we’re just so addicted to the problem that the solution is only now coming, in injectable form.
I say that as a thin person who takes a small GP1 dose because of the long-term sugar addiction I’ve had since before I can literally remember…
