Maybe I'm a dunce but I wouldn't even know how to keep all my books spread evenly at rest let alone like this

English was due for it tbh. Do I like that it's emojis – not particularly.

But it does fill that ambiguity gap, especially when it comes to written humour.

Side tangent but I felt like this one scene drastically (albeit not clear at the time) shifted the tone/direction for the rest of the MCU going forth - just for essentially a light chuckle and mild worldbuilding (illustrating the insignificance of the world/timelines ikik).

Looking back and seeing what's been (barely) done, I wonder if those writers would've gone with that same direction?

They asked me what my favourite cocktails were. I was midway talking about gin and tonic varietals (shiraz gin is sublime) and blacked out. I have no idea what I revealed afterwards and it still haunts me to this day

I never really thought of it as "low-demand" but that's a surpisingly practical way to phrase it, framing your decisions, lifestyle, and personal living spaces to be less mentally taxing and "economic" in that sense.

Broadly, it's resembles minimalism but a significant balance with practicality rather than aesthetics (it's a bonus). As other's have said "less decisions and a readily achieved default state". Some examples:

  • Limited number of clothes that mix and match with one another. If I get new clothes, I'll alway donate an equal amount to keep it limited.
  • Schedule in general to reduced decisions but most helpful was meals and meal prepping.
  • Bedroom and office have minimal furnishing/clutter so it's easy to clean up and incredibly easy to return to that default state and peace of mind.

Laundry, cleaning, and errands become less demanding (less clothes, easy to clean) in that sense which leaves mental room to explore new ideas one at a time.
