I have to recommend a certain Star Trek: The Next Generation episode analysis by Ross Scott of Accursed Farms.

It analyses Symbiosis, a sorta forgettable (on first inspection) humanoid-culture-of-the-week episode. Ross Scott has a knack for looking at fantastic things with a pair of very realistic and practical eyes that I find very amusing. It was made during the first months of our SARS-CoV-2 apocalypse, so keep that in mind (see spoiler).

punchlineIt was a time when "supply chain disruption" was a very hot buzzword, and is the main point and the punchline of this video.

SYMBIOSIS: A STAR TREK APOCALYPSE

Is that a courtroom sketch artist at the bottom right? A sketch in a sketch.

And what's with the huge subble-y eyeball at the bottom?

I call Andy Weir's stuff Back-of-The-Envelope-Calculation-fic and Chipperfic, because both his The Martian and Project Hail Mary have a ton of back of the envelope calculations and a chipper protagonist. ~_~

I don't understand how the title relates to the comics, but here's a Limmy's Show sketch about EULAs: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=riUop8WLs60

This is potentially Surreal script, not just Surreal bunch of words.

I wrote a minor GNU Emacs mode for writing surreal texts, that is, stream of consciousness writing.

Ideal surreal writing happens when:

  1. One does not stop oneself from writing the words that come to one's mind.
  2. One does not deletes or replaces the text in part or in whole.

So this mode is designed to stop oneself from breaking rule number 2 - deleting or replacing already written text. It aims to disable movement, deletion, and replacement commands.

It is also incomplete. Anyone who knows how to complete it, please send patches.
