PugJesus, to historyporn in Roman Dodecahedrons: A Mystifying Archaeological Find

Hi! While fascinating, I have to remove this, as it would go better in HistoryArtifacts@kbin.social

HistoryPorn is for historical photographs, rather than modern photographs of historical things

Those external nubs strongly suggest something that was used for winding fiber or knitting. Storing thread for sewing? Some kind of frame for a popular knitting pattern?

Pronell,

There have been several other articles about these in the past few weeks.

One of the most common suggestions is exactly that, used for knitting fingers for gloves.

Another I saw that made sense was for securing tent poles, with the nubs being used to secure the canvas to the ground.

SpaceNoodle,

The tent pole thing makes no sense.

Pronell,

Fair enough, I was just passing on what I’d read.

casmael,

Yeah I can’t really visualise that one tbh

phdepressed,

Don’t imagine it as a peg but like a thing to help knot around and hold a (small) rope in place.

But I think the sewing use is more likely.

I feel like a treadmill desk would have been way simpler. Unless you like sun glare and spotty wifi.

sbv,

Okay, now put the whole thing on wheels. I can finally go grocery shopping during my scrum.

SinTacks,

Wolfram uses a walking desk but it’s more of a laptop support like a baby bjorn. I kind of want one but looks like they need a bit of customizing.

There are also under-desk treadmills that you can use with an existing standing desk. You need to be able to raise it a bit higher though.

SinTacks,

The point would be to be outside. Were traveling right now and I can’t find the link but if you search for wolphrams life hacks type of thing there’s an article he wrote about it which was a fascinating read.

Personally I have an elliptical at home with a laptop stand on it and I love it.

Isn’t this bad for the Ethernet cables?

Hazzia,

Just get a wireless ethernet adapter (which exists and I loathe the fact that it does)

Valmond,

If they are straightened out they might not be able to mingle/mix-up.

The kind of walker I want for when I'm older.
