god sure didn’t like care(?) about origami
If God wanted origami, he would have created an evolutionary process that would reault in creatures with opposable thumbs, who would also have the intelligence to invent language, then create ways of writing down that language, then create paper in order to more efficiently write and store that language and then create the art of folding that paper into cool shapes. Oh wait…
I don’t do origami much anymore, but I really liked it as a kid. In any case, I think the books are honestly nicer to use. You can look away without having to pause each time to make a fold, and you don’t have to wait for the person in the video to finish each step. Just have to get the hang of interpreting the different types of dashed lines and what they mean to do. It does help when the book is well written and includes a small amount of text under each step to help interpret ambiguous instructions though.
Ah memories. I used to steal school supplies to make origami fortune tellers and sell them to kids in grade school.
Then I realized becoming an unfeeling capitalist only concerned with profiting off of my fortune tellers was making me into a monster, and I haven’t looked back since. Now if I do origami, it is either for personal use or as gifts. The darkness tested me, I saw what that path would make of me, and I chose the light.
I may not be an origami mogul, but my humanity wasn’t worth discarding to become one.
I see you fellow anti capitalist.
I remember this asshole of a kid in middle school selling these neat looking pens for a dollar each.
I found a box of them at a flea market that weekend and had my mom buy them for me, they came out to like 10 cents each. I sold them to every kid in class for a quarter and shut his shitty grift right down.
Lol the origami section was the very first place I would check when I visited the library as a kid. I would always get so bummed if they were all checked out
