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

Not sure why/how it came back but it did: https://knowyourmeme.com/memes/pondering-my-orb
Finally, the answer. Thanks.
It's part of the answer. You can do computer/logic programming on an imaginary Orb as well, like in Lisp.
In physics and advanced mathematical geometry, an Orb can store vast amounts of energy and mathematical information based on sets. Stars and black holes are examples of physical orbs you can ponder.

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 love, the orb is life
Ponder it.
THE ORB CLEANSES YOUR SIN
DOUSE THE OPPONENT'S PYRE BY LEAPING UNTO IT WITH THE ORB
That's for me to ponder, and you to find out.
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.
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!

all hail orb
It's your bro Facing the other way!

You might still see it in the desert.
Jerry had the orb once and that is enough to know about it.. I mean....Jerry!
Orb is a substitute shell for human soul after its separation from a body.

You have to collect them in each level to complete the game. You also need to collect gems as well since Moneybags charges you to learn new skills or open up pathways.
Any Marianne Williamson supporters in the chat?
โ The Orb! Archimedes himself began the construction with little more than a mirror alignment! da Vinci added the gearings. Newton the lenses. Galileo the prisms! And all of the great poets, painters, scientists, alchemists, and philosophers have had the Orb in their hands.โ
The history of pondering started in the era of Gorgamel, during the second dynasty of the luke warm giants. Teridius the meticulous was decorating his garden, when he spotted a round, reflective object.
As he sat down and started to stare at it he was spotted by a light catcher trying to steal the souls of the local faerie populace. This image was spread from mirrors to reflective ponds across the lands.
Old Teridius had suddenly spurred on a trend that would take the wizard college by storm, and have the local witches covens giggling over whose orb was most shiney.
And so ends this fake fantasy history lesson, largely because my team lead is banging on the stall door, telling me I'm not supposed to ponder the orb on company time. Screw you, Terry, it's a mental health provision and you're actively hindering it. Maybe you should ponder the orb - you creep.
There are a few and they have mysterious powers. https://brisco-county-jr.fandom.com/wiki/Orbs

It's the goal of the game. If you get it, and return it to the surface you win. But, it prevents you from teleporting, and once you have it Pandemonium lords will be after you, so the Orb run itself is a hard bit of gameplay.

It got out again. If it gets too far, either the world will go insane or there will start being loads of people who think like "wizards."
The Orb could start a new era of both innovation and insanity. Don't trust a conceptual Orb. Question spheres using Science.
Don't let the Music of the Spheres control you. I have seen it happen to real people. Scientists like Newton would agree.
The Orb is mostly described in Occult texts that many people try to keep very hidden.
Music of the Spheres is a unique logical system that can produce statements not corresponding with an accurate depiction of our physical reality or "plane of being". Some high level mathematicians know these concepts already, to describe unique logic systems.
