Description
The author is discussing how slime can be used as a distraction from a stressful situation. It can be a fun way to release endorphins and calm down.
You may consider slime to be a child's toy and it can certainly be used as one. However there is something deeply satisfying about poking, prodding and stretching a piece of slime. It makes you feel better about life, releases endorphins into your system which calms your stress and distracts you from the situation for a moment. This allows you to appreciate it for what it really is in the grand scheme of things, not something that is worth getting stressed about in the first place.
