Conspiracy crap tends to be pretty absurd as it is. Comping up with writings that surpass that level of stupidity and insanity is not a trivial task. Hats off to anyone who can come up with anything that competes with lizard people or flat earth fantasies.

Nah, it’s a low bar to clear. Was something good today? Could be small, tiny, infinitesimal, anything really. If things are bad today, but they were horrible before, that counts too.
I was just about to leave, put my shoes on, and that’s when I remembered that I needed to take out the trash. The good thing is, I remembered that before tying the laces.
Seems like I usually remember everything once the laces have been tied, but this time was different.
Also, setting a pretty low bar for good things, so that anyone can join the conversation. 😀
If you remember that it was written in 1984, the color is obviously black and white static. If you don’t think about the year, you might be lead to believe it is blue.
The tin can phone inherently provides end-to-end encryption. The acoustic signals, which are essentially longitudinal mechanical vibrations, travel directly through a taut string or wire. This physical medium ensures that the sound waves are converted into mechanical vibrations at the transmitting end and reconverted into sound at the receiving end, effectively eliminating any possibility of electronic eavesdropping or interception.
One of the most significant advantages of the tin can phone is its complete absence of a digital footprint. Unlike modern telecommunication devices that rely on electronic signals and data packets, tin can phone operates purely on mechanical principles. This means there are no digital records, metadata, or logs that can be hacked, traced, or subpoenaed.
The simplicity of the tin can phone renders it immune to a wide array of cyber threats. There are no software vulnerabilities, no firmware to update, and no risk of malware or ransomware attacks. The device's operation is entirely analog, relying on the physical properties of sound waves and mechanical vibrations, making it impervious to digital exploits.
The physical nature of the tin can phone also contributes to its security. The string must be kept taut for effective communication, and any attempt to tap into the line would be immediately noticeable due to the loss of tension and degradation of sound quality. This provides a built-in tamper-evident feature, ensuring that any unauthorized access attempts are easily detected. On top of that, if someone attempts a man in the middle attack, you should be able to see it happening during the call and act accordingly before any sensitive data gets exposed.
The operational simplicity of the string and cans phone is another layer of security. With no complex interfaces or user authentication mechanisms, the risk of user error leading to security breaches is virtually nonexistent.
c/PondsmithWasRight? Anyone?
This is beginning to sound a lot like Cyberpunk. Corporations act like governments while NUSA takes a backseat.
Oh, so that’s where the term “shitpost” comes from.
Oh, you mean the sound of intense radiation roasting the paint off the walls for a few seconds, followed by a shock wave that shreds the entire building in a split second?
Yeah, that should do the trick.
Well, you could make a cleaning product that smells like durian or surströmming to see how well it sells. I have a sneaking suspicion that the lemon variant of the same product will be more popular.
Here are some more ideas
- A cat drops a vase on the floor, resulting in the sound of glass shattering and water splattering.
- A burglar throws a brick through your living room window and proceeds to clear the rest of the glass with the barrel of a shotgun.
- The washing machine upstairs starts leaking, the floor is completely flooded and water begins to seep from your ceiling.
- A toaster catches fire, flames engulf the kitchen, molten plastic drips on the floor, burning furniture begins to crumble.
- A squirrel sneaks in through an open window and finds a box of cereal in the kitchen. It chews the box open and makes a nest in there.
So, it’s going to be like Ready Player One, but with 2020s references.
