the y2k bug is my friend and it will protect me from the computers

[sneezes] i think i got the y2k bug :(

THE Y2K BUG, OUR LORD AND SAVIOR, WHOSE COMING HAS BEEN DELAYED TO 2038

THE Y2K BUG WILL COME ONCE AGAIN TO SAVE US FROM OUR SILICON SHACKLES

IT IS FOREVER COMING FOR OUR SALVATION

ANY ATTEMPTS TO REPEL IT ONLY DELAY ITS ARRIVAL

THE Y2K BUG, WITH SIX LEGS, BORN OF GOLD AND SILICON AND RARE EARTH METALS, WITH A HEART OF LIGHTNING, EATER OF COMPUTERS AND DESTROYER OF CYBERSPACES

THE Y2K BUG, THE DELAYED APOCALYPSE, THE GROWING WORRY OF UNSUSTAINABILITY, THE BET AGAINST INFINITE TIME, THE EATER OF VITAL SYSTEMS, THE SPECTER OF MAINTENANCE, THE EVER-RESOUNDING HOWL OF "GOOD ENOUGH FOR NOW"

ITS GOLDEN JAWS GENTLY LIFT A DATABASE. IT CONSIDERS FOR A MOMENT, THEN BITES RIGHT THROUGH IT

ITS GLASS EYE SOCKETS SEE NOTHING, BUT ITS NEODYNIUM HEART RESONATES TO NEARBY SYSTEMS. IT WILL FIND THEM AND RETURN THINGS TO WHAT IT BELIEVES TO BE THE NATURAL STATE

ASH TO ASH
DUST TO DUST
METAL TO METAL
ELECTRICITY TO GROUND

AT ANY GIVEN TIME A COMPUTER MAY ONLY SURVIVE SEVERAL DECADES WITHOUT MAINTENANCE, DUE TO THE EVER-PRESENT GODLY SPECTER OF THE Y2K BUG

STONE MONUMENTS IN THE DESERT, UNCOMFORTABLE PASSAGEWAYS, OBSIDIAN SPEARS FROM THE GROUND

WITH A SINGLE MESSAGE TO FUTURE GENERATIONS

"ALL WILL FADE
DESIGN WITH FADING IN MIND
ALL HAIL Y2K"

"what is moving will be still
what is gathered will disperse
what is built up will collapse
all of your dreams
they're all fulfilled"

i'm so out of it

@HTHR everyone always asks y2k. nobody ever asks how 2k.

@HTHR no no you got the y2k2, the revenge of the 2k

@HTHR what do you mean that thread was a blast :o

@HTHR silicon, ground down to the sands of time

(Or: from sand were you made and sand you shall be, and the sands of time shall end you)

@HTHR y2k bug was trying to protect us from 2019 twitter discourse
