Questions and Answers

It’s a new month, and you know what that means!

New search results, of course! Since it’s late and I’m not sleeping and when I do sleep they’re weird and scary dreams, I’m gonna make this quick. I’ve made good progress in Doom 3 and I’m now in Hell, so when I sleep I have nightmares that I’m in Hell.

What’s my personal hell look like? I’m chained to a desk in front of a computer, forced to write the code that maintains the entire universe. If I stop coding I get whipped by a demon. If I stop coding our galaxy disappears, and with it Altoids and Whack-A-Mole and bears that juggle chainsaws. Our very existence depends, quite literally, on the personal hell of myself and others, who are forced to code the entire universe for the rest of eternity.

Anyways. I’m tired and sleeping weirdly, so it’s time for a Q&A session with this month’s search terms! Search will provide the question, and I will provide the answer.
