OP, I had a floppy chain like yours, but I fidgeted too hard and broke it 😂 I liked to try to squeeze my finger in between the rubber bands and over time it didn’t like me doing that lol
My favorite is my Ono Roller. It’s metal and has a delightful weight to it. I got the youth size for my small hands lol. I like that it’s completely silent and occupies my entire hand
I also like the Nee Doh squishies. My mini cube is my 2nd favorite fidget at the moment. The ones filled with gel are superior to the ones with white goo. The ones with more varied shape (mushroom/animal) are more likely to make fart noises when squished. (I also have to resist fidgeting too aggressively and breaking these lol. One night the intrusive thoughts won and I was biting a cube while stretching it. It was a really good bite feel, but a bunch of air got in the cube and solidified the goo and now it’s extremely hard and won’t squish unless you sit on it and warm it up for half an hour first lmao 😂)
For my in-office keyboard I have Gazzew Boba U4 silent tactile switches. I’m very happy with them. I saw some advice that said not to lube them, which I gladly took to save myself the effort lol. I’ve been using them at work for 2.5 years now. And my coworker who (politely) complained about my keyboard being too loud before has not complained about this one 🙂
I use them on a Keychron K-series keyboard that originally came with brown switches. I did also upgrade the stabilizers on this one, my space bar was too loud.
I will say that I prefer my Keychron Q5 that I have at home. It was more expensive than the K-series, but it has better build quality. I haven’t had to do any mods (the stabilizers it shipped with haven’t bothered me) and I prefer the metal body of the keyboard.
Never see the hawks target them either, they fight back and mob predators.
Ooh cool! So just the other day, my husband saw a hawk grab a grey squirrel. And a squirrel buddy came over and attacked the hawk and rescued the first squirrel!! We’ve never seen or heard of anything like that before. These were grey squirrels.
Maybe squirrels are a lot more roughty toughty than I’ve been giving them credit for! 😁
Well I’m not sure about that, but that’s a good point…
Polar bears have translucent hair that looks white, and black skin. Looks like black squirrels have black skin. So maybe it depends if this white squirrel still has black skin underneath 🤷♀️ I’m going to tell myself that the lil guy will be fine because that’s a happier ending 😅
Hey, you/your sister should submit a report of this squirrel spotting!

There’s an effort to map where white squirrels are showing up in North America. We did some research after seeing one in our neighborhood a few years back - like this one, ours wasn’t albino, which you can differentiate because squirrels with albinism have red eyes.
