This is more #Cyberpunk than I bargained for

talking about something "at scale" has weird effects to it. if i say something "at scale", you might think i mean largest % of population, but in doing so i sort of gloss over the fact that <10th percentile is the most expensive to address.
eg, "if i can serve 8 out of 10 requests, who cares about the other 2", but i ignore the content of those requests.
idk, my innate capacity to apply stupid linear interpolation and false equivalence to these things seem dangerous. all populations deviate.
- a microSD card weighs somewhere around 0.4g
- the highest capacity microSD that's easily available is 256GB
- a trebuchet can throw a 90kg projectile over 300m
90kg worth of microSD cards is 225,000 of them
Therefore a trebuchet can throw 57.6PB of data over 300m
This would have the highest throughput of any telecommunications network ever created

We have been convinced by BK marketing to imagine a kind of human King Of The Burgers figure, a smiling bipedal monarch.
Look past the propaganda. A burger king is a hive creature, a group mind, an indifferentiable teeming mass of thousands of once-individual burgers now tethered together into a superorganism.
A burger king is a rat king, but for burgers.

SCENE: The camera pans out, displaying Jerry, entrenched in a fort constructed of his home's furnishings, wielding a hunting rifle. Mounds of instances of Kramer, each subtly different and each dead, litter the room.
