The retro hobby that can help boost your happiness
- latexr 2y agoClickbait title. It’s about “speedcubing”, i.e. competitions to solve Rubik’s Cubes fast. The conclusions sound like pop science. It’s ridiculous to think speedcubing is “unique” (article’s words) in offering a “combination of cognitive challenge, [alongside] social connection, and personal achievement that contributes to happiness”. It’s also laughable to mention the state of “flow” in this context, since it lasts for literally less than ten seconds.
