COMMIT TO THE BIT

Get your pizzamas floor rug (?!?!?!) and so much else only during pizzamas: pizzamas.com
In which John celebrates bit commitment, and explores how the quality of the bit can sometimes matter less than the quality of the commitment to that bit.

    An odd thought, but I'd love to see you interviewing random Nerdfighters about what's important to them and what they're passionate about Almost like the Nerdfighter Anthropocene Reviewed... Nerd scene reviewed? I truly think this community is astonishingly brilliant and commits to many various bits that create such a beautiful puzzle. With the lovely message cemented lately from you and Hank about working hard on one or two parts of the massive problems humanity is working on and collectively making a difference, I'd love to hear what the community specifically is working on.

    My favorite example of committing to the bit is the piece "As slow as possible" by John Cage. It is being played on an organ in Germany right now: They started playing it in 2001 and it won't be finished until 2640. The next note will be played in 2024. It's both hilarious and strangely hopeful/comforting.

One day at a bar after a few drinks we decided that if we ever run into each other in the street we should walk up to each other, hug, and walk away with no words exchanged. For the next few years everytime we'd see each other we did just that. It was always fun when someone was with us and we had to explain it after the fact.

    You putting the rug in random rooms reminds me of my art high school dorms where we had a random cardboard cutout of a generic butler, and it was tradition to put him in random places just to make people go '!!!' Whoever got pranked by him was then the person whose responsibility it was to put him in the next hiding place. Truly a good school-wide bit.

It's easy some mornings for me to start thinking that's become impossible for us. But seeing Nerdfighters commit to the Pizza John thing for this long is why I truly believe that we can also commit to the work in Sierra Leone long-term, too.

    This is not entirely what you were talking about but as someone who recently accidentally admitted to their English professor that they write Kirk/Spock slash fanfiction in their spare time, (and has since spent their days alternately cringing and wishing they could turn back time) it is reassuring to me to know other people place value on earnestness and honesty, so thank you for that. Even if I can't change things now, I can still let go of the shame knowing that being true to myself and committing to who I am is better than presenting a false version to other people, even if that would be easier.

    bit commitment is an essential tool (I find), for parenting. For example I committed to the bit that I had "Dad vision" with my younger kids, who for many years believed I had superhuman powers of observation when in reality I was usually just using logical reasoning and context clues to determine what was going on out of my sight.

    Speaking of committing to a bit, that fact that Community just announced that the Six Seasons And A Movie movie is finally happening, all because of one throwaway scene 10+ years ago that snowballed into memes for years. If your commitment to a bit doesn’t turn into an entire reunion film, you didn’t commit hard enough

    In a smaller way I try to commit to my husband's bits on a daily basis. He has some cognitive differences that make for some great creativity and improve seens, not so much great for staying on topic or understanding what someone says to him but GREAT for random acts of awesome. I used to just be like what is even happening? But now I join in, usually in song and we are both much happier about it.

    I LOVE committing to the bit. One of my favorite bit commitments is when I want to say one thing, realize it’s wrong and/or stupid midway through saying it, and say it anyway with more confidence than I would have before. Running gags are also just really satisfying (although that’s not exactly bit commitment, more bit commitment adjacent), especially when they’re done consistently across multiple installments of a given thing. I felt really sad when last night’s Scott the Woz episode didn’t open with a “Hey All, Scott Here” because it felt like a breach of the running gag.

    My current bit is playing recorder for ten minutes a day. Currently about grade 3 level after a few weeks - the aim is grade 8 in two years (or less). It's very satisfying (I do also play flute though so that background helps a lot). It's amazing how much you can achieve by dedicating just a little time everyday. 😊

    My girlfriend and I did EXACTLY THAT many years ago. She looked at me and said, “Hey, let’s go to Graceland!” And I said, “Sure! Let’s go!” Nine hours later, we were at the Graceland Days Inn. The next morning, we signed up for the super-duper, dee-luxe Platinum Tour, quietly mocking the Jungle Room and the gold plated bathroom fixtures in the airplanes. On the way out of town we happened to drive by the Lorraine Motel, which had been converted into a civil rights museum. We remember that totally spontaneous trip as “The Weekend of the Kings.”

Watching that playlist was such a nice thing for my brain on a day when I just wanted to curl up and not feel (chemo sucks, everybody). Thank you. And also thank you for reminding me to gratitude journal. It's good for me, even and especially when I don't want to do it.
