Ok wait we can go even further back. Cars is set in what Tolkien would call the Fifth Age, Sally is a short story showing a moment in time near the end of the forth age

ok i meant this as a joke but re-reading the ending now, i really do love the idea of this story being part of the Cars historical canon.

can anyone confirm if this is canon or just a fanfic origin story of the Cars universe? libgen.is/fiction/8D6406534B9F

people always talk shit about Takumi, saying it's not physically possible for him to race without spilling the water. what they fail to understand was that this was perfectly realistic, he was simply using a little-known technique called "input shaping"

question for people who experience brain zaps, hyper specific 

do you experience a persistent, high-frequency sort of hissing sound? too faint to be tinnitus, too high frequency to be spontaneous otoacoustic emissions (which apparently top out at 4.5 kHz, while mine seems somewhere upwards of 15kHz (my bluetooth headphones can't go much higher than 15kHz and that sounds too low, but i remember CRTs sounding similar, and in NTSC land that's 15.734kHz, although i think it's more of a noise band centered up in that range rather than a pure tone, but it's hard to think about frequencies that high because i feel like all my mental representations of sound fall apart up there)

anyways, do you experience something like this, and if so, when you get a brain zap, does the frequency sharply drop (like, sweeps downwards over maybe 100-200 ms) maybe an octave or so, sit at the lower sound for maybe 10 or 20 seconds, and then slowly fade away (no sweep, just a crossfade) back to the higher one? (it's hard to say what frequency it drops to, because it's much more obviously a frequency distribution at that point, it sounds like the sound you hear when you press your temple or forehead against a running faucet and hear the turbulence inside

oh you like music? you think music is cool? ok but have you heard of... cloth?

wow, the new CSB intro goes pretty hard! (re-posting because i did a bad job the first time)

that's also where the bats go too when they break, and that's why they're required to be wooden. talk about literally adding fuel to the fire!
