Playing around with links, or maybe links about playing around. Something like that:

An amateur Belgian luthier builds a bass guitar for and with his 6-year-old daughter, who is very sass. Other builds (with occasional daughter commentary) on his channel. (via)

Paku Paku, a one-dimensional, one-button implementation of Pac-Man that is surprisingly addictive. (via)

Flipping a coin is not a 50/50 thing: coins have a 50.8% chance of landing on the same side they started. (via)

Needless to say, this last result is huge.

Paku-Paku *is* surprisingly addictive!

I'll have to read your link to find out why coins have that slight tendency to land on the side they started out on.

Spoiler: exactly why needs more study, but they have a working hypothesis that it has to do with coins rarely being flipped in an exactly symmetrical way.
