I know where you're going with this but presumably those shells are washed and painted, so they wouldn't smell. Like, millions of people clean and paint hollowed eggshells every year at Easter and keep them around sometimes for years as decorations. No comment on the practicality or taste of the lifehack wall art though.

Lifehack: wash and save eggshells for a year like a crazy person, then buy spraypaint and presumably some other kind of preservative coating, spray all of them, and mount them on a giant canvas... Screw it, just buy some "It's Always Time For Coffee" poster from Walmart instead of going through a pretty complicated art project to hang literal garbage on your wall

Lifehack: if your walls are barren, buy picture frames from the store and hang them on your walls with the stock photos still in them to regularly remind yourself that no one loves you and you will die alone.

Try that one out on your professor and see how they respond!
Like I said, I did do exactly this and got full credit because my profs would rather read what I had to say rather than force a word/page count. Sorry you had lovely robots for teachers! :)

You're assuming PTA-member Karen is going to take the time to wash, preserve, paint and protect those eggshells after she finds it on pinterest. No, no indeed.

The idea of a word count is not to force students to meet some arbitrary limit, it's to make students think more in-depth about a topic.

A different level of analysis is expected from a two-page paper than from a ten-page one. For ten pages you're expected to fit in more analysis, more evidence, and make a more persuasive case. This can be done in different ways--developing multiple points in depth, developing one point really well, using a wide variety of evidence, etc.--but the idea is to force you to come up with ten pages' worth of ideas and evidence. If the prof wants a level of analysis that would typically take ten pages, and you hand in two, or five, or seven, it's possible that you're a genius but it's more likely that you just didn't meet the level of rigour that the prof was looking for.

This is almost literally one of the activities at the preschool I went to. They had a big red phone box and you could "paint" it with water like that. Which I guess is actually fun to four-year-olds. :shrug:

Exploration is ill-advised.
It's pretty much the same idea as plastic kitchen playsets and toy cash registers, tiny kids love imitating what they see grown-ups do without having to worry about cleaning up. (well, the parents enjoy not having to worry about it anyway. I made some amazing messes as a kid)

There is a painting company in my area called Tom Sawyer Painting. Which annoys my husband, because when we pass one of their signs, I launch into the whole sequence. "I'll give you a dead rat on a string!"

Enjoy your guests false smiles and comments such as ‘that’s...interesting’. Enjoy shells raining down on your head whenever someone slams a door or there’s a slight breeze. Forget that the shells are behind you and rest your head on the wall, then spend hours trying to get eggshell shards out of your hair.

Weeks of fun!

Honestly the dog one seems pretty good too? I'm not a dog owner, but if it works, hey, sure.

The first one fits right in this thread though. What, no twist ties?
