You're just pondering pondering orbs. It's orb pondering all the way down

Please help! My pondering orb has ceased pondering!

You're pondering what's happened to it tho

In January of 2023 an image of a wizard with a glass ball appeared (I think on a MtG card). It was adopted into a wizardposting community and ever since it's been the go-to image for those pondering orbs.

It's from a guide book of a LOTR role playing game

So why has it come into vogue suddenly?

Yeah I thought getting all touchy feely with creepy glowing orbs went out of fashion a while ago...

I think someone just wanted to bring it back so they made a few new joke images based on it, and then other people jumped back on orb. I mean on board.

Devouring my orb

You're right to be afraid. It's too late to ask, sorry.

[–] [email protected] 27 points 3 months ago (2 children)

I fully agree. Sometimes knowledge can be too dangerous if you aren't prepared. Honestly, OP should focus on wizarding basics, or maybe find another calling.

[–] [email protected] 16 points 3 months ago (1 children)

Alright, I will. Thanks for keeping me safe 🙏

Ah, so that's why I never really fell in love with flat-screens. Nowhere to place my wizardly decorations!

Speaking of wizards. I tapped your text to upvote and a whole fucking image macro popped up

Edit: ignore me, the image finally loaded on my shitty phone

You should ponder your orb about it.

Spammers being spammers, the content is irrelevant.

Now that's something I can get behind

I asked, but I still don't know 🔮

[–] [email protected] 3 points 3 months ago

Try pondering your orb for an answer 🔮

It's happy! It's fun! It's Happy Fun Orb!

Do not taunt Happy Fun Orb.

well maybe you'd figure it out if you pondered your own orb for a while?

GOD apprentices are so lazy these days, these newfangled linked tables are rotting their minds
