Elon wyd

I genuinely wish I could see inside Musk’s head or at least get an explanation for how he was thinking his plans would work out.

Like it’s clear now he is fantastically out of touch with reality but I still really wanna know like, to what degree. Did he think people would accept his ultimatum? Did he genuinely think it would only take like 300 people to keep Twitter running?

It’s not terribly mysterious why shit like the load-bearing coconut happens. Usually it goes something like this:

Goal: the programmers have a bunch of data they need to have access to in every scene  

Problem: the game engine they’re using does not support a global scope  

Solution: create an invisible game object that holds all of that data in its attributes, and make sure it’s the first thing that loads in every scene  

Additional problem: the game engine requires every object to have a texture assigned to it, even if it’s never rendered  

Additional solution: assign this random stock photo we just happened to have lying around as the texture for the fake global scope object  

Result: the resources folder now contains a random JPEG of a coconut that can’t be removed or else the whole game stops working

One might think that this understanding would make load-bearing coconuts less funny, but this is not in fact the case: it makes them much, much funnier.

On top of the obvious economic benefits, it would be visible throughout all of northern California and emanate an ominous hum!"
