Are you ready?

Before you start reading, scroll down and press play. You've got about 8 minutes.

Some minor issues may occur. Steemit may be down for a while or some accounts may have temporary image visibility or linking problems. Some apps may have trouble working correctly with Steemit. Your reputation score may show weird numbers. It may even be that some files are temporarily lost.

It may be that your wallet will for a while look a bit odd. Like someones been there. Taken some of your Steem with the intention of never returning it. But villains are always caught. Justice is served. Developers come to the rescue. Right?

Except if this is their plan. To take you money. To infiltrate to your account with a code. Code that takes 0.000000001 Steem every time currency exchanges wallets. And from a tiny drop becomes an ocean. Before you know it, they are in bed with your enemies!

There they are. Spooning instead of hardforking. Taking a wee bit of your electricity every millisecond. Putting that extra pare of socks in your washing machine. Just to save their own washer. Just to save the electricity. Just to save. And who pays. You do! YOU DO! It's your crops they are eating without paying!

They will start to wear your clothes and putting those once used clothes back in to your drawers and wardrobes. You only smell a faint odor of sweat when you take that "clean, unused" T-shirt from the shelve. And you're thinking, maybe vinegar will help to get this slight sent of sweat away. And you wash your clothes again and again never wearing them yourself. Just because they already have. But you don't know that yet.

You start noticing small things, your dog doesn't adore you anymore, your cats stare past you, like there's someone behind you, but when you turn and look, you see nothing. Your toothbrush isn't where you left it. Same thing happens to your coffee cup.

One day you come home and your keys don't fit your lock anymore. The developers. The coders. The witnesses. They are all out to get you. Take your money, house, family, job and your dignity. Those bastards!

You try to move to your parents house just to notice THEY got there before you. Your parents are now pod people. Your former parents offer you no shelter and you are forced to move to the nearby forest. Dig a hole to yourself. Rob the local electronics store. Just to get a TV in to your pathetic hole which you don't want to call a grave because your hole isn't dug vertical but more like horizontal. Or maybe a bit of both. Like hortical. Or verizontal.

As you are thinking about the essence of verizontal, you steal your neighbors electricity and hack in to their WiFi with your shear willpower. You try to access Netflix but notice that your account has been terminated. As your fingers start to squeeze in to fists and tears of anger begin to fill your eyes, you think that this was the final straw. The final nail to the coffin of your enemies. No longer will you stand this. They can take away your dog, your health, your family, your house and your car. But not Netflix. Nobody messes with your Netflix account!

You rampage through the city. You treat the people you encounter like dominoes. You hit one down and in perfect alignment ten more fall. Hundreds! Blood! Guts! Brainz! You tear their limbs of with your teeth, scalp them, wear their skin as an overcoat. You use your former two legged, now pathetically screaming one legged bosses thighbone to brake the glass in an army and rangers store, help yourself and get some firepower.

You drive a truck through the next city and throw hand grenades every time you see something move. And every time you don't. You are on a killing spree! You are in your element. First you kill everyone. And then the rest. You drag your enemies to your hole and make them suffer. You stick needles in to their eyes as you are watching Netflix from your former best friends account and scheming how to conquer the whole world. It will not be easy but you can handle it.

So the axis of evil is here. The end of the world. Wars! Hurricanes! Typhoons! Floods! Nuclear weapons fly in the air and drop in to the backyard of your hole. Have you underestimated your powers? Have you underestimated your enemies? Are you afraid of the future?

Spanish flu! Black death! Anthrax! Three eyed owls! Wolves develop sharklike teeth! Ancient alien race arise from the depths of the planets core! Ultimate destruction! Cold fires! Multiple universes collide! Stars explode! Santa Claus is fiction! Moomins have no ass holes! Elephants travel with submarines to the outer realms! These aren't the forks you were looking for! It's like ten thousand spoons when all you need is a knife!

There's no escaping!

There's no place like hole, there's no place like hole, there's no place like hole!

8 minutes 13 seconds mark.

I'm sure everything will go smoothly.

I mean, what in the world could go wrong?

Thanks! :)
Oh, Leonard Cohen Hallelujah!!!! There's nothing like a good apocalyptic ending. Thank you for the link. I've never heard of Frankie Boyle so I appreciate this very much. Looks like the rest of the day I will be surfing in YouTube devouring everything Frankie has there.

He also made some of his shows freely available ->https://www.frankieboyle.com/prometheus-vol-1/

Did you survive?
It seems a bit quiet at the moment.

I did survive! It's just the combination of HF, weekend and the fact that I wanted to save my posting ideas for this month because I really want to try that monthly author badge. HF ruined my try in September. So again today and this month. :)

Things look better now. It seems we are able to move around a little more than right after the hf

Yes. And with more than 50 SP I don't have to check my resources all the time and decide my moves according to that. I was only upvoting for one or two posts before I got my delegations back.
