Rules (interactive)
Rule 1- All posts must begin with TIL. Linking to a source of info is optional, but highly recommended as it helps to spark discussion.

Your post subject cannot be illegal or NSFW material. You will be warned first, banned second.

Rule 4- No self promotion or upvote-farming of any kind.
That's it.
Rule 5- No baiting or sealioning or promoting an agenda.
Posts and comments which, instead of being of an innocuous nature, are specifically intended (based on reports and in the opinion of our crack moderation team) to bait users into ideological wars on charged political topics will be removed and the authors warned - or banned - depending on severity.
Rule 6- Regarding non-TIL posts.
Provided it is about the community itself, you may post non-TIL posts using the [META] tag on your post title.
Rule 7- You can't harass or disturb other members.
If you vocally harass or discriminate against any individual member, you will be removed.
Likewise, if you are a member, sympathiser or a resemblant of a movement that is known to largely hate, mock, discriminate against, and/or want to take lives of a group of people, and you were provably vocal about your hate, then you will be banned on sight.
For further explanation, clarification and feedback about this rule, you may follow this link.

Juggling is so much fun, if you never tried it you should start immediately. Bring a little bit of patience and you can master 3 balls quite fast. Plus point: it does really good things to your hand-eye-coordination and you will be surprised how much your reflexes can improve with a little bit of regular juggling. Highly recommended!
Yeah! If you work at a keyboard, it's great to keep a couple juggling balls nearby for a quick break.
Even better during long, boring conference calls...
lel one time was on a call on my laptop, and started throwing the juggling balls over the screen, with one hand on either side of the laptop (with the camera on). I had a good run going but then I dropped and I said: "damn." Unfortunately I forgot I had the mic on. They were like: "Did you say something, Sergio?" So I was like: "Sorry, I'm just mad we missed the deadline!" And they were impressed by my attitude.
I taught myself to juggle once, didn't practice for a couple of years and now, not only have I forgotten how to do it, I don't seem to be able to learn again. Do with that what you will.
My conclusion: never start juggling. Otherwise you get sad when you don't maintain it and can't relearn it :'(
I don't believe you. You just lack the patience. It's easier to sit back down and watch youtube than to try to juggle for 10 Minutes. I know, it can be a long time, but it will come back. Did you try with two for a few minutes? Patience, my friend, patience!
I tell people that I can teach anyone to juggle in 20 minutes. It's fun to get it going when you're otherwise just standing around, and practicing the fancier patterns is good for keeping yourself occupied.

This dude grinds 😏
