People aren't impressed by it?
- gamegoblin 12y agoOnly a certain kind of people really appreciate it. Generally, the same kind of people who are impressed by rubik's cube speedsolving (which I also thought would be amazingly cool) are impressed by this. But for a lot of people, they just assume there is some simple trick to it, say "cool" and move on. And then other people assume you must be some sort of autistic savant.

- allegory 12y agoMost people are impressed by what a person owns or looks like, not what they are capable of or what value they can add to the world. It saddens me. I'd sit with someone who did this and learn how it works! My party trick clears the room: eye socket farts.
