how do you explain people why it is really cool?

• gorkish 3y ago
  You don't explain why it's cool. You just explain it, then you wait to see if the person you explained it to is cool or uncool.

    Gorkish, now imagine receiving furrowed brows and the hairy eyeball whenever you tell someone what you do. “What do you mean, it doesn’t have any use?” And then I try to say that lots of things don’t have any use: a sunset, for instance. (I don’t mention that most modern math also doesn’t have any practical use)

      i'm not questioning the artisanal challenge or general visual appeal. there are just some subjects that are popping up so often that i just wonder if i'm missing something.

    it's basically an elaborate mobius band ... i don't have those lying around at home

    And I judge their coolness by what kind of drinks they prefer to put in it. It's a Möbius thing.
