list.filter is ok! Filtering is an action that applies to a list
false.not is borderline but if read as false.negate it makes sense (negating is an action that applies to a Boolean value). That wording screws the chaining though.
5.times is where the pattern breaks: times is not an action that applies to a number (nor an action at all). It’s the block the one that should repeat/iterate - but Ruby breaks the rule there and blocks are not an object (!). If they were you could block.repeat(5) which IMO is cleaner.
