This was a nice little impulse question and led to a lot of fun little stories!
And I have a little more context as to why he likes YouTube now.

This explains why my dad is so handy and has so many woodworking tools.

This is how I learned my dad made his own toys. He would study the toys of the kids in the neighborhood (grandpa didn’t buy toys) and replicate them. He liked making spinning tips out of those thread bobbin thingies.

A few doors down from him was another house with a TV. Their son charged 5 rubber bands per person per night to watch.
He liked to link the rubber bands together to make a jump rope.

This is how I learned my dad knows who Charlie Chaplin is, and enjoyed cowboy movies.

Cambodia only had 3 hours of broadcast per day from 5-8pm
5-6pm: news
6-8pm: half hour increments of American movies (?!) in English

Dad said his dad would open up their front door so the neighbors could watch when they walked by. Also did that when he would borrow his boss’ film projector, and would play Chaplin films too.
If a neighbor kid came in halfway, grandpa would restart the film, even if it made them break curfew.

Understandable! Zooming through three highways or battling your way out of Pasadena is killer 😭

Basically, grumpy men saying “I love you” is my favorite thing.

AND THIS… the way Juggy’s “I love you” has haunted me since 2017 and sent me into a hyperfixation for a summer.

I might… find a way..

Seeing an animator’s fingerprint embedded in clay, if it’s clay. The use of poly-fil for smoke effects, the tiny little stitches in their tiny little clothes. Tiny replicas of food. Literal, physical smears. Biblically accurate puppets when they have duplicate limbs for an action.
It’s delicious.

We are given hordes of gold in the form of animation as children, and for that, we are so lucky.
But somewhere along the way to adulthood, we’re told to accept pyrite because it’s more mature.
Now, THAT’S a shame.

I feel sad that people (adults) have somehow been convinced that animation is childish. Anything that’s a cartoon is automatically attributed to only children.
Some of the most impactful pieces of media we ever consume comes in the form of animation.

“It’s just a question,” some might say.
But so is “What’s a movie you enjoy, that others might not?”
“What’s your comfort movie? What’s the funniest movie you’ve seen? What’s the last movie you watched that surprised you?”

I watched Little Einsteins all through college. I settle in with The Notebook when I want to cry. I unironically enjoy the Phantom of the Opera movie.
What about any of that should I feel guilty about?

It’s also worth noting that ChillyPig is single boarded, meaning the side your artwork is printed on will be exposed (the others will have another piece of acrylic to sandwich it), so it may chip over (a long) time.

I’ve seen Juno as one of the top companies to work with! The other companies, folks have had issues with.
ChillyPig charms is based in the US, and folks have said they’re great to work with for first timers, and will be who I go with when I’m ready!

Not sure if this would have impacted you to this scale, but Meta products are part of the economic black out today!

My spouse did this for me! In our bedroom... WHILE I was sleeping, so I woke up to a giant countdown timer on the TV and it was the most stressful morning I ever had lololol

Hopefully it’s nothing bad! Mine happen when I’m also tired, and am in a room with lighting with soft fall off.
But if you want something sweet: someone once told me that it’s the spirits of our pets coming to check on us.
