@troubleMoney but wait.

A microSD card occupies a volume of 0.165 mL.

A 45' hi-cube intermodal container has an internal volume of 86020 L. This means that you can fit 521 million microSD cards in one such intermodal container.

This means you can fit 133.5 EB of data on the back of a large truck, substantially more than you could launch with a trebuchet.

- a microSD card weighs somewhere around 0.4g
- the highest capacity microSD that's easily available is 256GB
- a trebuchet can throw a 90kg projectile over 300m

90kg worth of microSD cards is 225,000 of them

Therefore a trebuchet can throw 57.6PB of data over 300m

This would have the highest throughput of any telecommunications network ever created

Fun fact: the can opener was invented over 4 decades after the idea of preserving food in cans

"Hey, I've come up with a revolutionary way of preserving food!"
"That sounds hella cool!"
"Yeah, you just put it in one of these cans!"
"How do you get it out again?"
"Uhh... shit"

Even if the new Gorillaz track wasn't meant as trans, it's trans now

Little bits and pieces that have remained in my usual parlance because of using various comms systems a while ago:

"CHECK CHECK CHECK" - SHUT THE FUCK UP ON COMMS YOU NEED TO HEAR THIS

"sorry, say again?" - could you repeat that please

"tak" - a dash
