It reminds me of how musical artists would let people vote on their next venue, and 4chan would find ways to make it a school for the deaf, or the inception of Boaty McBoatface.

I can certainly relate. I remember disassembling mechanical things as a young kid and it always bugged me that there was this digital level of design that I couldn't physically investigate intuitively. Then once I started programming I remembered initially being disappointed by the concept of scripting/dynamic language. It felt like if I tried to imagine the twinkle of the 1s and 0s as they moved around the machine the patterns would more divorced from the physical hardware. Probably not an accurate or valid abstraction but it is the model that I mentally interact with at a high concept level. I've grown more partial to dynamic languages since then but only as I've come to terms with the underlying mechanisms. ADHD needs solid walls to bounce off of and having a interpreter that exists in this virtual environment doesn't naturally capture my trust. So in my hubris I doubt the veracity of the tools and learn that it requires a context change to dig in to the lower level of the issue which is demoralizing as an ADHD person. And now because I want to mitigate future context change I spend a lot of time forecasting potential context changes and quickly get overwhelmed by my own efforts.

  • To be or not to be
  • But that's not the question
  • How to be me
  • If I'm more than a profession
  • Won't leave me be
  • If only to form a question
  • While I try to want to be
  • So I cope with the trope
  • Choke on their smoke
  • And pretend I learned their lesson
  • Wait for a rift in the grift
  • And not drift into depression
  • Hard to try an ignore the lie
  • So they can worship their myth
  • To give their false confession

Lol it falls completely submerged to the bottom of the ocean.

One of the GIJoe movies ends with an underwater arctic base being crushed by ice that is dislodged from a bomb blast on the ice shelf above. Neat except ice doesn't sink. I'm sure there are all manner of inaccuracy in those movies but that one really stuck with me.

Looks more like a white pet onesie.
