Monday rolls around, they’ve finished like four of them. “Why won’t this kernel work?! NO, for the last time I’m not using genkernel! It’ll be a bloated mess.”
An old ASMR video - not a particularly good one, but one I enjoyed anyway. It was about a futuristic themed space travel agency. The woman in it described various planets as viable options, and at one point offered a tour guide whose name was something like “Loop Hole”. I remember that because it was such an odd name. At some point in the video she receives a Facebook message (not part of the video, likely a mistake, but the notification sound is there anyway). The background was wood paneling, kinda looked like it was filmed in a trailer.
It was made private on YouTube years and years ago.
Not my current job but my last one, I was a developer for a major web app used by every employee in the company. I was working on a toast notification system so I had an icon of toast. You clicked it, and it just showed a notification that said “Toast.” This was on our dev system that people had access to if they wanted to try new upcoming features.
People loved this for some reason, but naturally once I ironed out the bugs the icon went away. But if you entered the Konami code on the main page it faded in a giant version of the toast icon with a dramatic “dun-dun-DUNNNNNNN”. This Easter egg persisted into production.
Is there anywhere else? I swear they look for carpet when they need to puke. If you have a single carpeted room in a house full of laminate, they’re running to that damn carpeted room to blow their gut’s airlock.
Where does the sound come from? Your headphones, speakers, etc. Does it ever happen when your machine is off? You mentioned you only have wired audio peripherals - perhaps someone is playing a prank on you and has connected some kind of device inline.
Gamify the process. Get into Pokemon Go, Ingress, or some other game that requires travel. During each installation, leave behind a little Easter egg. Not for the customer, but for the next tech who has to service the meter. Change it up.
Most of the time my gf does the cooking. I’m the primary breadwinner, plus she loves to cook. I do too, but she does more. I do other stuff around the house - clean up after the cats, clean floors, take out garbage - but cooking is her deal.
Breath of Fire 3. Spoilers but you’ve had decades to play.
The first boss, the nue chimera, you’re supposed to kill it because it’s terrorizing the town. You then find out as it’s dying (because it uses its final breath to jump in front of a cave to block it) that it was just trying to find food for its cubs that have already been dead for a long time. It also played some somber music during this discovery.
