I liked it. It was strangely hypnotic viewing. Travis Himmel looked like he was stoned in it (his acting style?) and the plain weirdness of it reminded me of old Heavy Metal comics of the seventies. The nearest I have had to that was reading the Prophet series. Themes of religion and general human weirdness https://imagecomics.com/comics/series/prophet

An old Dilbert cartoon had the pointy haired boss declare monetary rewards for every fixed bug in their product. Wally went back to his desk murmuring "today I'm going to code me a minivan!"

Nope jumping spiders are the worst kind. So are big fuzzy spiders.
They're not insectlike, but in some weird uncanny valley between insect and mammal.
And they can JUMP onto you.
Nope nope nope.

Shout out to Milton Keynes Museum for their archive of handsets old and new as well as interactive examples of telephone exchanges:

Used to happen to me when I played a lot of tetris on the gameboy back in the day. When reading any books afterwards I would see the tetronimoes slotting in the spaces between the lines of sentences and words. Goldeneye (N64) had me eyeing security cameras in the real world and making silencer noises in my head for quite a while too.

All of them!
Great answer. However if this was 2014 I would have had the pleasure of proving you wrong:

So say X, FB and the company they keep.
What could make a streaming service "decent" ?
I don't know where you're based but I would offer the BBC
TV - take your pick of classic shows. Radio - 6 music for me. Education - provides resources for all school key stages in line with the UK curriculum. Sports - a bit sporadic but you can get everything except baseball at some point in the year. Arts - broadcasts the Glastonbury festival. Live shows you can attend and be in the audience.
All for £170 a year and no ads.
