UH, HEY. CAN SOMEONE EXPLAIN THE SPOONS THING TO ME?

@brokenfingers People use "spoons" as like, a unit of measure for mental energy

Might hear someone saying they "don't have the spoons to do something right now"

I don't think there's a reason for it being spoons instead of anything else, it's just an explanation someone used once and it stuck

@brokenfingers (This is my best guess about what "spoons thing" you mean but it might be something completely different, whoops)
