I read in a book about an experiment during which people were given a square of their favorite chocolate and had to rate whether they wanted more after the last piece or if they didn't want any more. The more chocolate they had after a certain point, the less they wanted.

They were either eating the wrong chocolate (probably! milk chocolate is sugar) or were not real chocolate fans.

When I am eating my favorite dark chocolates (90% Lindt or 87% Laima, a Latvian chocolate), I have to hold myself back from eating ever more of it. Both of these chocolates are low in sugar, sugar being further on the list of ingredients compared to other chocolates. So it's more chocolate than anything else, though it isn't bitter like some of those chalky high-percentage chocolates that really don't understand the potential of chocolate at all.

So I guess if I were in that experiment, I would skew the results, and happily.

I say as I eat some dark chocolate accompanied by a mug of chocolate-and-orange rooibos.

Beekeeping experiment FAIL. Last year, attempted to use Rustoleum Never Wet over metal tape to create an ant-proof barrier. It does not work, it's not slick enough to keep ants crawling up it. Plus, the tape eventually peels off. You also see that dirt and mud sticks to the "Never Wet" surface. #beekeeping #experiment

You don’t feel like giving a lecture or holding a workshop? No problem, we also have other rooms for experimenting ;)

#WombTransplant: the mother of my children demands to know why the lives of two women were put at risk with three major operations, when exactly the same result could have been achieved with a surrogate pregnancy (using that uterus in its natural place). https://www.theguardian.com/society/2025/apr/07/grace-davidson-first-uk-womb-transplant-birth I would also argue that the baby didn't benefit from being carried by a mum on #immunosuppressants, so 3 humans were harmed in this #experiment. #science #medicine #ExperimentsOnHumans #MedicalEthics #DoNoHarm

Art experiment

A year ago I created a never-ending randomized piece of music; I recorded everything except the flute and I designed the rules and weights for each layer in order to make it sound 'coherent'. Then I used UE4 to make each of those layers control lights IRT to light up Jacob van Swanenburgh's wonderful and unsettling masterpiece 'The Last Judgement and the Seven Deadly Sins'.

Hope you like it.

Ever wanted to try out a talk or workshop? We provide you with the test environment in order to do so and would love to support you :) Queer feminist spaces want to focus on different things than only #Patriarchy . What get’s you excited and what do you think we should check out?

We are going to generate stills for a movie I am making entitled “Morning in Singapore”. It’s set in Singapore and the mood is gritty with muted colors ala 12 Storeys. Let’s start with a view from inside a HDB flat. We can see a dining table and we can see a window. It’s 6am so everything seems pretty dark.
