I think that if OP were to use the approach Zizek mentioned, they would've said something along the lines of: "You don't have to take off your dirty shirt, but oh the bed would be so sad if you were to wear it, really you would be the most beautiful child if you were to take off your dirty shirt and put a clean new one".
I thought it was quite fun and relaxing, even meditative.
Later on, I was watching a video on online betting, particularly Polymarket. And I got an idea to create a simple app where we can use cursive writing as a form of meditation to overcome the urge of betting. That's when Urge Surfer was born.
The idea is that, for an urge that requires a screen and is something that you don't really want to do, you can use Urge Surfer to "surf" that wave. It seems that urges can sometimes be like waves: they get stronger, but in a short time period, they pass.
The sentences are self-compassionate, kind, gentle, and hopefully that helps people put themselves at ease while the urge passes.
The code is completely open source, and you can self-host: https://github.com/MartimChaves/urge-surfer
No data is stored except for the number of waves that have been surfed, and there's a seed used to randomize the sentences.
Thanks
In my experience, I had to start out with a very specific idea, which claude code/codex could one-shot, but then it took some playing around with the result and some back-and-forth to get something that made sense and felt nice to use. I guess we'll always have our humanity.
This is hosted on github pages, so it's "free" to host.

This post is really wholesome :)
Couldn't get the letter constellations working on my end.
Country quizzes is a weak spot of mine, loved that. Would be cool to move the globe! Also, kudos for the bus cataloging!
I'm not sure if it would fit the theme, but sometimes I end up searching what an expression means, or where does it come from. Maybe it would be cool to have a little info box after you discover what the word is. Just an idea! Not sure if it would clutter things, and you can always search it yourself, but something I've been thinking about. I still remember looking up peanut gallery and sand dollar!
