A great little read! I had no idea there was a term for the gap between people's anticipation of intelligence, as versus the actual intelligence behind the curtain. Even cooler to see the source of the instigating program, and also get to try it out myself.

This webpage just gives museum vibes in such a good way. Anyone know of any existing communities that collect these kinds of historical education pages? I'd love to have a backlog of pages to visit like this to spend my idle time.

    In terms of being a cup, a lightbulb seems like it would be one of the worst objects to choose. So why do I also think it'd be satisfying to take a little swig from these?

    I can second this. I once got 2nd and 4th gear back in my 1993 Saturn LS1 after getting some air time off a decent bump on a country road.

    Coincidentally, that same bump is how I lost 2nd and 4th. Life can be tricksy mistress.
