There was a post on that other site a few years back where someone found a locked safe and posted about it. I wanna say they were asking for advice about how to open it (I’m fuzzy there), but it turned into this whole thing where it felt the whole internet was hanging on a cliff edge, waiting to see what was in it. People were guessing, making bets, giving advice, promising first born etc.
Nothing. There was nothing in it. It was empty the whole time. A little piece of me died that day.
Yeah that makes sense. I used to work in a position where I had to testify in court regularly about the results of independent findings the court requested. There were often lines of questioning that were about establishing details. The questions seemed silly, but it wasn’t about the specific pieces of information it was about establishing that “Thing A” was absolutely true (or false) as of a specific point on a timeline. I never had any fun exchanges like this though lol.
