That’s an interesting question to ponder.
I think I worked out most of why The Orb is so special. Mainly because it’s funny, but also largely because it introduces you to a certain type of belief system, which can appear again today if you build up logic and maths or even physics principles.
It’s an ancient belief system people don’t normally use anymore, but that still holds a lot of power. A lot of people would ponder their Orb to try to make informed decisions long in the past, though, before Science.
My dog’s name is Ponder*, but I don’t think he has a brain cell inside of his head ;)
*Named after a Terry Pratchett Discworld character

If he’s fat, you could call him Ponder, the orb.

Looks like somebody hasn’t been doing their pondering exercises
Do you mean the ambient electronica band or this:
Jesus, that’s the closest thing I’ve ever seen to a real-life supervillain group shot.
What isn’t the orb? That’s the real question.
The orb is nothing, the orb is all things.
Like a black hole or a star
The orb is love, the orb is life
The orb is.
Is orb the.
Yes. But also many. Every Orb has special but very similar properties.
You’ve created an Orb in your own mind. Try to shrink and control it. Don’t think about it too much or it’ll drive you crazy.
Don’t worry though, lots of famous people, like even “Tomska and Ashens”, have got Orbs, and they unknowingly spread them without ever going insane themselves.
The orb is.
Yeah. The Orb can do computer programming in Lisp/Lambda Calculus to make simulations as well, which it’s possible to do in your own mind.

The orb is a spherical object made of solid matter, possibly silicate or metal, that has been highly polished and subsequently enchanted using any of a variety of scrying and detection spells, such as clairvoyance and true seeing.
The spells can be represented by internal geometries that can encode data structures using maths.

Certain levels in Super Mario Bros. 3 and Super Mario World end with Mario collecting a ? orb rather than the usual goal. During speedruns, it’s customary to shout “Orb!” upon completing these levels.
Me speedrunning my Orb!
Orb is a bit like missingno, too.
It’s your bro Facing the other way!
(Please ignore that it would be dro, all hail dro.)
all hail orb
