here are some of my thought-technologies, which you should adopt:
- referring to anything that is built without obvious screws or glue as being "held together by luck"
- referring to libertarians as "librarians"
- referring to Remy from the movie Ratatouille by the name "Ratatouille"
- referring to SSDs as "SD cards"
- referring to trains as "self-driving cars"
- referring to anything with a closed control-loop, for instance, a thermostat, as "artificial intelligence"
@jk woah [runs to thermostat, leans towards it, looking at it like it just fell from outer space, poking it] how does this work on it's own??? this must be some sorta...artifcial intelogence [stares off into distance]
@boots how does it KNOW WHAT TO DO????????
@jk how does it do what it do [face directly against the thermostat]
@boots the thermostat, silent, stoic, and beyond human comprehension, has no reply to give
@jk [removes face from thermostat, turns around but sees a refrigerator] Woah [runs off]
[source engine metal impact sound]
@boots an aside, but there's a "short, squeaky door opening sound" in HL2 which is one of those endlessly-reused stock sounds, which I hear at least a couple times per month, despite me not watching TV or movies very often
i think the sound may originate in the early-mid 90s maybe?? the last time I heard it was watching the Utena movie the other day, i'll probably hear it again by the end of the week!!
