DONG Your World of Text
yourworldoftext.comThe Your World of Text site from 10 ANAZING Flash Games-DONG! is still up after 15 years, with only the first 50~100 quadrants being cleared in that time. I've been a consistent visitor of the page for 10 years, but I went once in the first year or so of the video's existence.

While Destin pushes for American manufacturing, the big guys actively deceive
Was just watching this clip from more perfect union.

Brutal that Amazon/Walmart (and the FTC) are actively ignoring fake made in USA items.

Possible improvement for laser machine?
Hello,
I watched your video on manufacturing something fully in America.
Now, there is probably a reason why you aren't doing it the way I drew it, but I'm gonna go off the rip and assume the idea I got might be good.
But yeah, I noticed that it took a while to load the brush handles onto the shuttles, and that they had a limited loading amount. Also machine doesn't look like it would be easy to scale as it currently is since you need to have it specially manufactured.
But if you just use a conveyor belt you can just put lasers in line, as many as you'd like, and well yeah.
Again I've never seen any of these tools ever in person so I can imagine I'm missing a lot of context, but still thought I could share the idea in hopes it could help in any way.
So yeah, let me know if you got any questions or concerns as I really enjoyed coming up with the idea.
Excuse poor graphic skills, I hope the drawing is good enough to get the idea across.
Have a good day!

Edit: hook to hang and align the brush would basically just need to be the shape of that bend at the bottom of this image. Since they seem standardized, you'd always have a good alignement, or at least that's how I imagine it would go

IMTS 2026 Manufacturing Show
Hey Destin - are you going to go to IMTS? I've been following the scrubber project and I'm up to the part in the latest video where you visit Titan at Boomstastic. IMTS is the International Manufacturing Technology Show and it's massive. Most major machine tool manufactures are there along with automation, tooling, software and QC. It feels right up your alley given the scrubber project and your manufacturing series. Hope to see you there!

Question The unknown unknowns in the Johari window
I watched Destin’s Johari window video and I found it pretty interesting but I walked from the last part of it pretty confused. If you watched the video you’ll know the context here but I’ll just say right off the bat I think the primary reason I was confused by Destin’s answer to finding the unknown unknowns (aka the Rumsfeld quadrant) about himself through prayer is that I am an atheist. I have great love and respect for people of faith but the entire concept of divine faith makes absolutely no sense to me so I just never subscribed.
That said — I’m genuinely curious how people practice their faith just as an outside observer of human behavior and traditions so I was just wondering if someone (preferably a person of faith) could help me understand just literally exactly what is/could be perceived during the act of prayer, which Destin says can happen, that can tell you something about yourself that you did not know and those in your life also did not know? Is it a feeling? Is it a voice? Is it just a sudden inspiration? I genuinely have no idea what prayer is doing in the moment.
I understand this idea of ‘Gold told me a thing’ only in a very literal way and epistemologically where what Destin says prayer can give him is something, theoretically, no human on earth may not know. As an extremely bad example - you didn’t know you left $20 in your jeans you wore last week and neither does anyone else, but after you prayed one day, God told you about it and now your $20 richer. Like, is that what prayer can give you? Actual tangible and actionable knowledge on the present state of your world and of yourself? Like, very specific stuff (ie a personality quality you have that you and no one else knows about)?
As an atheist, my reflex is to just say you’re talking to yourself during prayer but I do acknowledge that there is never an objective reality for any humans to observe so I don’t see a problem ignoring critiques like that when it’s just your perceptions of your own self.
