[DATA EXPUNGED]
@NanoRaptor @nealjennings @PastaThief actual cats travel through these cables carrying disks on their backs @NanoRaptor @nealjennings @PastaThief don’t be fooled though, that’s not why they’re called cat cables. cats actually got their name from being the creatures that travel in the cables @zens @NanoRaptor @nealjennings @PastaThief Never underestimate the bandwidth of a load of cats carrying thumb drives. @PastaThief @NanoRaptor @zens @nealjennings I thought this was a pigeon IP extension where the air medium is embedded in the cat medium. The basic version lets the pigeon piggyback (sort of) with the cat packet. And there is a compression option that digests the air medium and allows faster transfer speeds in the cat-cable <fantasy overload/> @NanoRaptor This is where you plug in when you subscribe to one of those ‘firehose’ type deals, like Twitter used to have. @NanoRaptor @nealjennings @PastaThief @EdwinG @NanoRaptor @nealjennings @PastaThief yes! I came here to make the same RJ 12 comment 😁 @yakkoj @NanoRaptor @nealjennings @PastaThief they were removed after the neighbours complained about the blinkinlights keeping them awake at night. @NanoRaptor @nealjennings @PastaThief Thirty years later and I've finally found the building that Magic Cap should have used for their "Internet Center" @NanoRaptor @nealjennings @PastaThief can you show the other end of the cable where the cats exit? @NanoRaptor @nealjennings @PastaThief it’s unfortunate that the introduction of „big cat“ coincided with a global copper shortage shortly after its widespread adoption @stodarahodan @NanoRaptor @nealjennings @PastaThief Then the developers were all eaten by lions. @NanoRaptor @nealjennings @PastaThief fix the perspective, put an elephant on the other end of the cable (cable morphing into his trunk) and you have a massive network trunk! I'll show myself out... @NanoRaptor @nealjennings @PastaThief that would be some insane switching power... jokes aside, what if they actually made super massive internet switches like that? :3c @NanoRaptor @nealjennings @PastaThief I'm assuming that if you live in that apartment you can get to ground level using the big pink tube slide. Whee! @PastaThief Good to see the giant modem hookups next to it for older hardware :3c |
@PastaThief I genuinely cannot tell if this is a @NanoRaptor creation or not.
