I believe “The Orb” is actually a concept that holds a lot of power on these forums.
It’s an idea that can easily spread and is enjoyed. If you look at memes on here right now, you’re constantly being forced to “ponder” (or think about) it, which isn’t even something I’m complaining about.
It can plant itself (at least temporarily) in your mind. Since it’s also associated with so many things (like wizards and fantasies), it can encourage you to think about things in a certain way.
2/10 Not a Orb! Would still ponder tho
I think it’s a perfect representation of an Orb you can ponder, and it has nothing seriously wrong with it. That image can perform all the mental functions of an Orb. Making a kind of 2D simulation in this Orb should be easy to imagine.
