    When I used to have to go to church as a kid, I’d imagine I was starting a new save file of Zelda Ocarina of Time. By the time mass was over I’d usually be up to one of the first rooms in the Great Deku Tree, in my head. It was only decades later I learned I was also autistic, but that’s a story for another day!

    That did not solve my boredom.

    I made the cow walk upright, gave the cow a bardiche, made 665 more cows like that, and made them raid a village.

    That was entertaining.

    Is the mind cow merely rotating in air, or must I imagine myself picking it up and rotating it physically? If I’m imagining physically rotating the cow, am I imagining exertion, or should I be imagining that I have super human strength?

    In what plane should I rotate it?

    Is the cow in a field or in a barn? Or is it in an empty void?

    If I’m physically rotating the cow, how am I dressed? Am I wearing my normal attire, or am I dressed like a dairy farmer? How does a dairy farmer dress? Is the cow wearing any clothing?

    Can I choose what season I imagine the cow rotating in, or must it be the current season?

    I have so many questions and now I’m even more bored than I was before!

    If you imagine a brown cow and then imagine shaking it you can have even more fun thoughts about fresh chocolate milkshakes!

    …That is how it works, right?
