I love the last panel. He’s waiting for a miraculous bit flip.
Edit: Context and the cosmic bit flip is probalby not true: https://youtu.be/vj8DzA9y8ls
I don’t know dude. It sounds that this YTer is a bit angry about a possible explanation that sounds reasonable and has no proof to debunk it either.
has no proof to debunk it
Yeah, because you can’t prove a negative. He doesn’t need to debunk it, only to provide an alternative explanation which is more likely. Occam’s razor.
There’s inifinite examples of when occams razor doesn’t hold up though. It’s a useful tool, but by no means an end all be all.
Occam’s razor won’t get you to the correct conclusion for all possible combinations of truth values and evidence, but it is always the best process to follow. You might end up getting new evidence later that means you update your belief, even update it to believe in something which previous evidence meant Occam’s razor lead you to dismiss that conclusion. But it helps you arrive at the best conclusion based on current evidence.
So was it a cart slap? No. Was the device and or cart faulty? No. Was the constructions nearby the cause? No.
We only know that something flipped the bit. So why not spice this freak accident up by saying that cosmic rays were the culprit?
The device was faulty though.

I also bought into the bit flip theory but it was confirmed that the hardware was somewhat faulty which is an infinitely more likely cause than cosmic rays. There’s also the fact that there aren’t any bits that could be flipped which would perfectly reproduce the glitch.
Because assuming that is a way bigger assumption than something like “faulty hardware”, especially since this guy has stories about other things that we know are faulty hardware.
I would be angry too if I have already done lots of research trying to figure this out and the top videos and articles talking about it all say the least likely thing is what actually happened.
Not gunna get cosmic rays at night though.
Could be a neutrino strike.
(Or it could be an N64 memory expansion pack being flaky because damn they were flaky. It doesn’t matter that your game isn’t actually using the extended memory, it’s still shitting all over the RAMBUS).
At least not until that civilization ending gamma ray burst thats been traveling for millions of years lazers the fuck out of our atmosphere without warning.
And then Nintendo Ninjas break into his house for playing on an emulator.
Nope, he’s playing with original hardware, the screen shot is a reference to what was a speed running bounty. There was a streamer playing that part of Super Mario 64 and he glitched straight up, if it could be repeated it would be a great time save for speed running. After years of investigation the community decided that it was caused by a bit flip probably caused by cosmic radiation. You can’t get that bit flip on an emulator.
Hey so the cosmic ray thing was a really popular meme but the glitch was probably just a crooked cartidge. It’s funny to imagine a cosmic ray doing this but the odds are so low as to be functionally impossible, and this kind of glitch can happen with dirty or loose connections.

Someone else already linked this video so here is a link to their comment
True or not, this meme doesn’t make sense if you don’t know about it.
Oh absolutely.
You just seemed like you were trying to provide info, so I added the last bit to… Add more info.
Woah my question is how does these guys exist ? Like rent, food clothes, electricity, water, pc etc. ain’t exactly cheap even if he inherited the house that only takes care of the rent issue. If anyone here is like that do tell me your secrets.
The parents that live upstairs.
That dude look above 40 tho … like aren’t they really old by now to support him ?
Railroad pension
What ?
The parents are likely retired with a good pension and little debt, and so can support the kid indefinitely
Despite the common assumption that most of these types of people are living at home with Mommy and Daddy I’ve known several programmers or coders who work from home and basically live like this.
They only really leave the house for groceries or shit like that. Honestly outside of the hygiene aspects I’d kill to rarely need to leave my home.
But wouldn’t you mis your friends??? Also that shit ain’t healthy he looks like he’s made of 99%fat .
It’s also a cartoon. Vitamins, supplements, treadmills, stationary bikes, weights, and rowing machines exist.
You don’t say.
Event documented as a sidetrack in future Summoning Salt video transpiring as we speak.
Sidetrack over, queue HOME - We’re Finally LandingSteamour! The house is on fire!
Steamed hams except instead of Principal Seymour Skinner it’s Principal Steamour Skinner.
I get it.
Still waiting for someone to solve the TTC upwarp glitch.
spoiler
It’s almost certainly due to faulty hardware
I know. I’ve watched that video. It’s extra funny that the TASer(?) bought the N64 from the speedrunner just to investigate it

Skill issue
Yes
Alabama is so much farther south than northern California. How far south is it? Does Kansas fit in the range?
Fuck i’d watch aurora instead
And risk missing a solar bit flip bug?
I’ll record it with camera and have some bits flip there…
