Look at these geeks!
« on: Wed, 05 March 2014, 11:12:50 »

A couple of geeks have decided to make a political point and live in a hamster wheel. Actually, one is living inside, one outside (on top of the wheel). The giant wheel is equipped with things like bed and kitchen and toilet bowl.

What amuses me greatly is, when you turn the wheel upside down, what's going to happen to the toilet water?

The toilet is articulated on the wheel side so it rotates and it is always horizontal.

I think we had a small group of people (half a dozen or so) living in a shop window for a few weeks a while back.

You could walk past and watch them eating, playing, sleeping etc.  The shower and toilet had frosted glass in front, but otherwise you'd get to see everything they were doing.

Weiiiiirrrrdddddddd.

In the same vein, PCs are consumable goods, while keyboards are important interfaces." - Eiiti Wada

It's not clear what kind of point they are trying to make. I have no particular interest in the daily lives of other human beings. After all, how much different can it be? They almost always sleep 6.5-9 hours a day, eat 2-4 meals a day, piss 4-20 times a day, **** 0.75-3 times a day, read the news or listen to radio or check email and messages. People are basically people with the same biological needs, not snails or deep sea fish.

Ok, that was a little disappointing.  I read "hamster wheel" and was expecting to see guys running on a giant plastic wheel  and drinking out of a giant water feeder bottle.
