This is for strictly mildly interesting material. If it's too interesting, it doesn't belong. If it's not interesting, it doesn't belong.

This is obviously an objective criteria, so the mods are always right. Or maybe mildly right? Ahh.. what do we know?

Just post some stuff and don't spam.

Flatpack World Championship

WTF is this? Is she some world leading package manager?

and broken her personal best assembly time in the process.

I guess it must be, did she overclock her computer?

building a bedside table in eight minutes 20 seconds.

Goddammit! What does that have to do with "flatpack"?

I came here to make the joke you already made and you made it better so I'll just show myself out.

I'm guessing bedside table is slang for a small table, and to be honest taking more than 8 minutes to build a small table isn't very impressive for any app.

Ahh, so there's a fork? Hadn't heard of it

Flatpack furniture is furniture that comes packed flat.
The most well-known producer is Ikea.

I did a flatpak list but it didn't show much about her. Guess I'll never know.
