How do you people even keep your sex boulders clean?

I'm hairy enough that I could gently caress and scrub at the same time.

That's......not likely. But I'm sure a pipe was leaking.

All joking aside, I kind of assumed that the big rock shower was an environmental piece for atmosphere, like the waterfall wall things, rather than an actually being intended to use as a bathing shower.
But then there’s that bottle of product on the log, and the rack with towels.

I stayed at a hotel in Stockholm where the sinks were like that. Just a big ol' plastic rock in the middle. None of us could figure out what the point was.

When I see videos like that, I can't help but imagine some future digital archaeologist will be delighted to unearth such a realistic view into a typical early-21st century family home.

Not that that's likely to happen, we're so overdocumented they will either know absolutely everything about us or everything will be lost and they have to try and piece it together from the fire damaged ruins they uncover.

They won't know poo poo unless they can figure out how to get a computer to work and whatever "alternating current" was. And hope this video is on the HD.

Alternating current will always be around, but the bits on the storage device will decay to nothing in a matter of decades. Hard disk platters lose their magnetism. Flash cells lose their electric charge.

In the non-catastrophic future I'm envisioning, all sorts of garbage like the entire archives of YouTube get carried along on live storage, like some overgrown hybrid of the internet archive, a hoarder house, and those "toss it over the wall" code dumps you get from companies that are open-source against their will. The difficulty isn't that the hardware holding the bits has decayed, it's in finding out what's actually archived in this increasingly unmanageable, un-indexed, mess that was meant to be parsed by software it would take a mid-sized public project to get running again.

It's not even just languages. A lot of functionality in important business software is performed by code that was never commented and is extremely hard for humans to trace through and therefore troubleshoot or modify.

But that's nothing compared to evolutionary algorithms. Machine learning can produce code that is so dense and completely devoid of human sensibility that it's often entirely incomprehensible even with tracing.

Haha "deep learning", ie gpu-accelerated neural networks of various kinds, has a problem with not even being deterministic, even with the same trained model, due to being so asynchronous and parallel.
