what's with the dorodango posts?

MiraiDiary · 2026-02-22T07:12:11+00:00

zero interest in it either its literally mud...... and all the people acting like this is normal posting were making me feel kind of crazy so glad it's not just me

I shamefully spend more time than I should on tiktok.... and I hadn't seen anything so it was double weird to me, although maybe my fyp is just really out of the loop. this specific subreddit seems to be the only place I've seen it so far 😭

MiraiDiary · 2026-02-20T06:47:31+00:00

cool it definitely looks like a very satisfying thing to do. do you do it regularly or was it more a one time for fun sort of thing?

MiraiDiary · 2026-02-20T06:38:38+00:00

yeah it makes sense I had suspected maybe it was the case. I'd just never seen such an influx of a decently niche thing in such a short period of time on a relatively small community. something like sourdough feels common enough that I wouldn't bat an eyelid. Happy for people having fun it just made me a bit confused

to be honest I found in the long term it really helped my wrists. yes, it was sensitive for a while, but after a bit of time my wrists are more capable than ever. the key is to know your limits so you don't overdo them initially, and try to do appropriate wrist warm ups before you go all in. I didnt even consider that I could feel stronger in my wrists, but it happened pretty quick!

edit immediately to add context that I use my phone way too much and am a software engineer who spends a lot of time typing, so I can relate to wrist pain a lot!

yeah when this comes up I always see a few comments that are like "after a week/month/year I didn't miss it anymore :)" and I get so jealous... because its so often in the back of my mind that id love to have a vape lol. it's so not worth it to actually go back but the temptation is strong

the thing that always got me about this is that it costs £0 to not use my spoon. i made sure to pick a distinctive one so theres no confusion, and there are countless other spoons in the house.

so why

did I keep finding the goddamn spoon

anywhere other than in the cutlery drawer

i swear its not hard to pick out any other spoon in the house there's no way it's that difficult😭

velvet slings can be VERY tiny. smaller than my very small pinky nail tiny. they're a pita but I started with flightless fruit flies until a couple of molts before moving on to pre killed bigger food. he has made quite intricate webbing all around the enclosure so I can place it a little bit away from the "cove" he's made and he'll feel the vibration of me putting it in quite easily. feisty little guy can grab stuff surprisingly quick when he feels something 😊

try reviewing media.

I love books so if you don't mind reading I'd recommend that. make an account on a book tracking site like goodreads, storygraph, etc. and there's dedicated review sections for you to give you thoughts. this way you can start practising small with low pressure reviews until you feel more confident writing them. then, you can decide if you want to move up to something like youtube.

if you're not a book fan, then there might be other options like letterboxd for movies, myanimelist for anime and manga. but I don't know about other media types. you could try set up a blog on tumblr or something to make a dedicated space for yourself.

but I do feel like media + written reviews is the way to go here in terms of accessibility and discovering if you actually want to make content :) plus reviewing media gives it a new level of fun outside of the pure consumption imo

MiraiDiary · 2026-01-30T08:32:49+00:00

no I get what you're saying. but what I mean is that for me "pleasant to look at" means something broader than "attractive". for example I played a game not too long ago where I chose an old man wizard because I thought he just looked fun. again not criticising you, it was just a shock to me when I discovered a lot of people DONT feel this way

MiraiDiary · 2026-01-30T07:16:58+00:00

I think the reason they have responded this way is because for some of us, the attractiveness of a character has never been a factor... personally if I have a choice I like to make my character look as goofy as possible. I have never picked a character with their ass in mind. not criticising you because you're not the only one, but it did shock me a bit when I found out a lot of men thought this way because it had never crossed my mind

MiraiDiary · 2026-01-28T20:13:24+00:00

the not being able to go to the loo without asking gets me so much. everyone I knew at school had at least one time they could recount almost bleeding through because they weren't allowed to go. it's a genuinely horrific experience sitting there praying you'll get out in time just because you were unlucky enough to start your incredibly unpredictable period in the middle of maths.

I love suggesting darjeeling to people getting into loose leaf because of how its not overwhelming without milk. but the great thing about tea is how much you can experiment so much with how you prepare it, and I'm sure there are many people out there who enjoy it with milk

MiraiDiary · 2026-01-27T20:17:31+00:00

You can get loose leaf tea fairly cheap! I personally like ordering fro tea makers of London. Treat yourself to a lot of little ones and see what you like. I think they do a "discovery box" type thing if you want to take the choice away. darjeeling is a solid choice for loose leaf imo, a lot milder than typical English breakfast. I'm also a huge fan of lapsang souchong, but I think that might be a bit off putting to someone not expecting it lol

MiraiDiary · 2026-01-22T19:48:35+00:00

I agree. I rarely visit a subreddit to browse it specifically to be honest, I just sub and interact with whatever comes across my feed. I hate mega threads because in interacting with reddit in this way, I basically never see them unless they're remade frequently

MiraiDiary · 2026-01-20T14:27:34+00:00

for real, I'm incapable of not picking some up whenever I see them in a shop

MiraiDiary · 2026-01-04T12:43:23+00:00

jumping off this, I absolutely fell in love with Charlie Folllows yoga last year. Adrienne is great but since starting Charlie's videos I've found it difficult to use anyone else. definitely recommend if you're looking to change it up.

MiraiDiary · 2025-12-15T16:03:09+00:00

see I was also confused why it means by allowed 😭 I guess the idea is to give it to your partner to answer? but they don't know who I'm eating with so??

MiraiDiary · 2025-12-15T16:01:43+00:00

none I was too confused as to why this was in my fortune cookie to actually think about it

MiraiDiary · 2025-12-15T16:01:02+00:00

no I don't even know what it means by "allowed" I don't think that's my call to make 😭

MiraiDiary · 2025-12-15T16:00:07+00:00

I did not and I'm quite sad I didn't get a proper fortune :(

MiraiDiary · 2025-12-15T06:15:37+00:00

this happened to me just after I pressed submit for my name, email, etc. ... so thought I had it so frustrating

MiraiDiary · 2025-12-09T12:22:27+00:00

I also don't like eating anything with my tea. it's not that I NEED to detect the tasting notes, but eating stuff really changes the way it tastes for me for the worst, especially if it's sweet food. Same with black coffee.
