there's a bit in dad's army (generally light-hearted sitcom about that period) where they're convinced that the germans have invaded, and are setting up a machine gun post out of chintz throw pillows in a little cottage and amiably accepting the fact that they (three old men and a stupid boy) are definitely going to be killed by the germans but they might succeed in delaying them a bit, and it genuinely brings tears to my eyes

oh man that watch. before watching the video I was thinking "well perhaps if you used a scanning setup with a laser diode and cocked you hand at a crazy uncomfortable angle but it would like like poo poo" because if you are just forming largish numbers you can get away with that sort of lovely resolution and quality. then the video started with zero non-rendered photos and they kept adding poo poo like that base station that lets you change the color and phone notifications.

this is like the nigerian scams where they only want the dumbest of the dumb so they can keep stringing them along for money, isn't it?

the oatmeal is basically the collective unconsciousness of the self-identifying nerd world, and fellating tesla as the good guy who would've revolutionized the world if not for the evil thomas edison is more or less the baseline requirement for someone like that
