Wanted to show how I use my niddy noddy for processing my handspun. This 2 yard niddy noddy is made from standard plumbing piping you can get from the hardware. It’s really easy & fast to wind off spindles using this tool providing you have the right technique of using your whole arm/shoulder to control the tools motion. Listen to the audio for a description of the winding pattern as I do it in real time.

This is a serious anthropologic diagram
it’s a redraw of cow tools
Use tools that make your life easier if you have access to them.
Doing things on hard mode on purpose is not noble or badass or something to punish yourself with. It means you have internalized some unfortunate shit: maybe ableism, maybe sexism, maybe capitalism, maybe the way other people have treated you. Life is hard enough as-is and you should be nicer to yourself.
I have always struggled with thinking I don't "deserve" things that make life easier for me, and whenever I start slipping back to that mentality, I just think of how any other tool using species would think my behavior was ludicrous.
Imagining a crow being really disappointed in me has been surprisingly effective. I don't want corvids to think I'm uncool.

A comment section on YouTube once again reminded me why us humans are so successful as organisms.
Evolution rewards being adapted to your ecological environment, and normally that happens through biological inheritance, mutation and selection. But instead of having advantageous biological traits, homo sapiens as a species is maximized for learning and incorporating taught behaviors. We don't have good protection like a shell or even thick fur, we don't have natural weapons like claws, and while we do have teeth, they kinda suck for defensive purposes. We're also not that fast in terms of top speed, so running away from predators isn't really an option either.
What we do have, though, is the fact that thanks to our ability to teach and learn so well, we essentially outsourced our evolution from biology to culture instead. And as we are all aware, culture evolves way faster than DNA ever could. So evolution rewards adaptation, and we just went and evolved not to adapt to a specific environment, but to be able to adapt really fast in general. Yeah we require tool use and community, if you set out a lone human infant in the wild they'll just straight up die. If you leave an adult without any tools or clothing, they will either attempt and succeed to make them, or die as well. But if we have both, we are the absolute champions of adapting to environments, by adapting our culture and tools to it, instead of needing to adapt our bodies.
The Cultural Foraging Techniques of Chimpanzees
The Remarkable Foraging Techniques of Chimpanzees It’s fascinating to observe the lengths to which chimpanzees will go to secure a tasty snack. In the lush rainforests of the Congo, these intelligent apes have been observed engaging in complex foraging behaviors. They skillfully poke holes into the ground using a sturdy stick and then select a long, flexible stem. With remarkable dexterity, they…
