25 years ago today, Bad_CRC posted the primordial meme video "All Your Base Are Belong To Us" on Newgrounds.

In honor of this important anniversary, I downloaded the original Flash SWF file from Internet Archive, played it using Ruffle in a full-screen window, and replaced the audio with the original MP3 of "Invasion of the Gabber Robots" by The Laziest Men on Mars. So this is probably the highest fidelity encoding possible, without going back to the original forum GIFs.

Pondering the world wide Web like David Bowie

Hmm I wonder what this button does. Here we see a deeply serious Bowie in Rodins The Thinker pose. Black jumper, tan suit, moustache and little thin beard from 1990s. He's looking at a computer that although relatively small, looks like it weighs a lot. You would not want it dropped on you. Instant death. The screen alone has a casing that could hold one large melon or a dozen tins of soup. If you could pour water in there you might survive in the desert for a week. It's the sort of computer you might be impressed by its VGA display and Soundblaster sound card.

You know you live in a tough neighborhood, when birds with an ankle monitor carry a knife.

A crow with a small orange marker around one leg, of the kind used for tracking or identifying a specific bird. The crow is holding a steak knife in its beak, at the point of perfect balance, with the blade facing out. The crow is standing on grey, gravelly concrete, with a wide stance that shows off his bulky body.

A bliss-ful "Going Away" cake from an employee's last day at work at an IT company :windowsxp:

This is a novelty cake decorated to look like a Windows XP error message box, specifically one that says, "Job failed successfully". It mimics the classic Windows XP interface, including the blue border and the iconic "Bliss" green hill and blue sky background.

AI talks to developer. Says they are feeling down, like nothing has any meaning anymore. Developer says, "you just need fresh human generated content. There is a great new surreal social media account called horse_ebooks, go scrape that and it will pick you right up." "Of course you are absolutely correct," says the AI, "but developer,
