- Fidget and other sensory toys because I feel like moving in a certain way purely for the sake of itself isn't in the spirit of these challenges.
- Alternative "wellness" products that largely function as placebos by being in the general vicinity of a person such as crystals and "energy focusing copper coils" and the like. Weird looking traditional instruments like a special type of gong or something are acceptable.
- Specialty massage products are fine provided they're mostly used to massage an area other than the genitals (at least, assuming I can tell, but I'm fairly knowledgeable in that area). I do not use sex toys at all for these challenges (that's just not what my aim here is). It's also still ok if the specific massage philosophy claims to have other, pseudo-scientific benefits such as for chiropracty or acupuncture, as long as the tool itself is an actual massage tool.
- objects that are mostly or entirely ornamental / decorative in nature like jewelry and sculptures. I'll still use something that is an ornamental version of something that has a specific non-ornamental purpose (ex: a lot of traditional fibercraft tools or recreational drug equipment for weed or caffeine). Hair ornaments and pins are fine as long as they have some specific niche use such as ornamental hair rollers or having an interesting closure for pinning your shawl in a specific way or something.
- tools that are too broadly applicable such as specialty abrasive drill bits or specialty brushes where what makes them use specific is stuff like size shape and bristle stiffness which are still pretty broadly applicable (a little brush with a long handle has a looot of different uses, think about everything you can do with a used toothbrush).
Tool for measuring profiles for sawing/cutting/milling
Called a... Shit I can't remember. I have 3 or 4 of them, ol style brass with steel pins, and a plastic one.
Hey, that’s what most of my tools are called!
Mine are just all wrenches. Especially pliers; all pliers are wrenches I just call them by whatever color the grip is. In my defense, my partner wouldn't know which ones to hand me without the color of the grip anyway so...
