The Tubes
You know those fleeting moments of enlightenment? When, for the briefest of seconds, you understand, in a visceral way, the full significance of some topic or another, rather than simply engaging with it on a superficial (which is to say, practical) level, taking for granted the enormity of all of its implications?
I just read this strip from Penny Arcade and, for an indescribable instant, I understood the internet. The moment has passed, of course, but it was nonetheless profound for its brevity.
*EDIT, 5:01 am* Sweet fancy Moses. Kiirsti's alarm has gone off. My sleep schedule should be getting better as school approaches. This is doom.
I think this is the true meaning of the internet, not all that transcendexidentialist bullshit I was talking about earlier.
