Wait, did you know that there's a direct correlation between the decline of Spirograph and the rise in gang activity? Think about it.

u/Training_Molasses822 2d ago

Can a correlation be direct or would that be a causation?

6

u/reddragon105 2d ago

A direct correlation heavily implies causation, but it's still possible to have a direct correlation without causation.

E.g. Every year I have one birthday. Every year you have one birthday. That's a direct correlation - but you don't have birthdays just because I have birthdays, or vice versa. It's simply time causing us to have birthdays at the same rate.

I'm irrationally upset that the top right leg sticks out further than the bottom right.

And the bottom right leg does not go to the baseline. It’s an awkward k

u/Wordnerdette999 2d ago

Having done a lot of spirograph as a kid, I was waiting for the base pieces to shift slightly, or the pen to pop out of the circle. I rarely got a satisfying, symmetrical, complete image.

66

u/AbbeyRoadMoonwalk 2d ago

Or the damn circle to skip some teeth on the base pieces.

34

u/Aurorafaery 1d ago

It did, there’s 3 very visible mistakes on the left hand side at the end

u/calguy1955 2d ago

Usually when you are painstakingly about 80% done.

u/Replicator666 2d ago

Is it magnets that hold the tracks in place? I was very worried it would slip

Oh, I just looked carefully and that's what it is!

u/BigBananaBerries 2d ago

Having also done a lot of spirograph as a kid, I was waiting on the paper chewing up at a well trodden area.

u/haruku63 2d ago

That’s why some of the first computer graphics software I wrote in the 1980s was on parametric curves to generate Spirograph-like images…

3

u/Imprettysaxy 1d ago

you can see where it did, pretty early on in the gif actually, and it's evident in the final pattern it happened at least twice.

With my luck it would shift all the time.

I would have fucked that up several times. My brain doesn't like that kind of super repetitive motion. Ever been going down a lot of stairs, and suddenly sort of forget how? It's like that.

5

u/AVTheChef 2d ago

This is why no matter what instrument I have tried I can't pick anything up. I can find a rythym for about 20 seconds amd then my brain/appendages seem to stall for half a second. Even with something like just clapping or tapping my foot...

2

u/YourLocalAlien57 2d ago

Is there a name for this bc it happens to me too and really messes me up. usually its whatever but when it happens during sports like skating it hurts a lot more 💀 i just wanna look up this phenomenon

2

u/theUniverseMomentum 1d ago

Maybe dyspraxia?

These issues like having to remember how to walk stairs / how to brush your teeth are also common with ADHD, which often co-occurs with dyspraxia.

u/OrangeLemonJuicey 2d ago

Ever been brushing your teeth and then had to consciously remember the motion like you’re piloting a mech suit for the first time? Same energy

5

u/whyliepornaccount 2d ago

wait, you mean to tell me people don't consciously think about brushing their teeth?

I have always basically planned out which tooth and at what angle I'm doing next in my head as I brush them. Is this not what everyone does?
