The koala is not unintelligible, it's just reversed. It says "It is not your time Bradward Boimler!"
A reference to”Twin Peaks”?
Which might make it a Twin Peaks reference ...
@@fmitchell238a Yup - just like the backwards talk. We did a RUclips short on TexTrek that points it out! The room he was in was also Twin Peaks (the red room or waiting room it's been called both)
Plus the floor of the room had the Black Lodge zig zags on it, so I'm pretty sure it was a Twin Peaks reference.
@@JeaniusIsMe yes, that is called the red room or waiting room. The chair the lamp the floor are all a reference
What I loved was when they mention that the Betazed gift box repeats phrases it hears, then it suddenly swears, and they say, "I didn't know Dr. T'Ana comes down here."
That was the best line of the episode for me!
The thing is this isn't Boimler's first death. He drowned after releasing the last piece of the ship's hull and mentioned seeing the koala upon being resuscitated. He also died of dehydration on the holodeck while trying to find the meaning of life after learning that William Boimler "died" from a freak malfunction in the life support system in his room(which was actually Section 31 recruiting him).
Boimler's got a whole lot of dying still left.
He's the Rory Williams of Lower Decks!
Give him another dozen or two and he might match Ensign Kim's record.
That koala's gonna get real sick of him.. XD
@@waffuruyaki4954 Maybe. Or he may be a special case. The Koala has only shown itself before to those who have ascended beyond the physical realm. Taking time to show itself to Boimler at least TWICE tells me there's something BIG in store for him.
@@Chiscringle already blown his shot at the ensign one.
I love love love how you can really feel how "out of control" T'lyn is by Vulcan standards. She smiles when she's made a friend, she concerns when she thinks Boimler has died, she is sarcastic and dry and annoyed when Boimler rephrases her point in the worst way possible.
I've said it before but T'Lyn is a Vulcan Extrovert whilst Tendi is a Orion Introvert.
@@andrewh5568 Interesting, or should I say 'Fascinating' observation.
You can just imagine the performance reports from her old captain. "Dangerously unstable." "Driven to the edge of madness by grief." "Appeared to scowl -- *twice.*" 😁
The thing so many people get wrong about them is, Vulcans DO have feelings and emotions, they just control them... a lot of actors playing minor-character Vulcans mistranslate this as "flat affect and snobbishly aloof." But Spock, T'Pol, Tuvok, and now T'Lyn, you can see the controlled feelings being expressed.
@@erikkeever3504 tbf T'Pol was pre-reformation. Personally, I don't necessarily think it's a mistake or error. For most characters that is how Vulcans would come across unless you have a lot of experience with them (Spock's outburst for example). I think it just comes down to how often we see a particular Vulcan, that makes it easier to pick up on, and well they all tend to be hanging out with humans. But I fully agree that people do mischaracterise Vulcans as having no emotions, when it's pretty clearly stated that they have to work to control it.
I love how whilst on the vulcan ship T'Lynn is seen as a dangerous, barely in control maverick, by ceretos standards she is the very voice of calm reason and control.
T'Pol was like that, too. She would have been so proud of T'Lyn !
@@lalywindland5764 T'Pol was also brain damaged. :p Yes, really, don't drink Trellium-k. It's not food.
@@marhawkman303 She was more emotional than most Vulcans even before injecting herself with Trellium D. I read that it was because she was half Romulan, half Vulcan. Anyway, during the Xindi mission, they were all so desperate and under so much stress that Tripp was addicted to sleeping pills, Archer turned dark and T'Pol did dangerous experiments, including the Trellium one. By the time she realized she was addicted, it was too late, and she messed up Trip in the process, too.
@@lalywindland5764 True, IIRC t'Pol was chosen because her superiors thought she would "fit in" better than most Vulcans.
So Vulcans view star fleet like an insane asylum? But more productive?
Boimler having to learn to delegate is SUPER relatable for anyone who has moved up from a frontline or base level working position and suddenly finds themself in a position where while they still need to do actual work and help their team, but absolutely NEED to delegate to them. It's learning a new skill and mindset, especially when you're super used to living the grind and taking orders from above and mainly focused on the task in front of you and not a number of people who are now your responsibility on top of that.
I remember in college we had a group assignment where we had to build a website, and I got so excited, I had a vision and wanted to execute it. So I had to remember to delegate to the other team member, because I ended up doing 80% of the work. We were nearly done before I realized I had to let him do something.
T'Lyn killed it this episode, definitely glad she's on the show finally. 🙂
"Oh my god, T'Lyn killed Boimler! You bastard!"
She's such an ungined, emotional Vulcan maverick! Clearly only Starfleet can handle her chaotic nature.
Shout out to the artist who immediately starts sketching when the clouds almost crush her
Loved the fjords reference. Vexilon obviously was inspired by a certain custom-built planet designer from Magrathea.
But what's his name? It's not important..
@@abigailmurray5897 (in an incredulous tone) "Slartibardfast!??"
@@samsignorelli Sounds like some kind of Danish chopped sausage
He got a prize for his fjords…don’t you know😊. Oh please, let me say his name…Slartibartfast…there I said it.
It would explain where the dolphin crew members of the Ceritos came from as well
I liked that when explosion happens you see what looks like genuine concern in *T'lyn's eyes, showing that even as a Vulkan she felt something there.
Vulcans are not incapable of emotion, just in extreme control of their emotions…
Don’t forget that Tallin is completely out of control by Vulcan standards.
i mean, she smiles earlier in the episode so
@@Lord_Sunday Which makes it extra funny that even she considers working with humans to be a punishment.
All of your spellings are very creative.
Hopefully T'Lyn will keep getting more screen time this season! It's such a Trek tradition to have a Vulcan as a principal cast member.
I also gotta say, I liked how they gave Freeman time to shine. Solid charactering.
She has expiriance with archaeology, so takes command. When she's out of her depth, she calls for help, but instead of being treated like a failure, keeps a level head and maintains control of the situation.
She didn't shine, she was shown as incompetent and out of her depth. This was a poorly written episode for her and it's a shame they're going this way with her while the other characters are improving.
Star Trek meets Warehouse 13. This premise has potential, but all these artifacts on the Cerritos? Yeah, no. That Vexilon seems to be running on what amounts to Microsoft Windows is priceless.
WAREHOUSE THIRTEEEEEEEEN! TAKE AN UUUP!
Meanwhile the SCP Foundation agents watching this: "THAT IS NOT HOW YOU STORE A BUNCH OF EUCLID-CLASS OBJECTS YOU IDIOTS! Do you want massive hybridized threat entities? Because that's how you get massive hybridized threat entities!"
@ Then they throw a bunch of D-classes in to the room to die and flood the whole deck with concrete. Yeah, yeah. 😆
My favorite joke was actually Art critic Ransom complaining about the "lack of focus", while he completely loses his focus for the mission...
Such a great joke, yet you will totally miss it, if you blink for a second.
I like too that Ransom is an artist of his own body and can't see non-figurative art as "good".
We get new Boimler for every season. Bold Boimler was fun. I can't wait to see what Boss Boimler is going to do.
Is he now Brown Boimler?
Boss Boimler died. Now we have Undead Boimler.
Can't wait for the return of William Boimler.
This wasn't my favorite episode, but by god, when T'Lyn says "It is a Volcano," I guffawed so hard. Best line delivery so far this year by far.
I just am filled with so much happiness that this show exists. It feels like it is shockingly rising up the ranks to be one of my favorite Star Trek shows. It is so unabashedly silly and over the top like it belongs on Adult Swim, but there is such an honest earnestness for the love of what Star Trek is. What could be just a dumb show with jokes for the sake of jokes, has instead had honest character development, explorations of themes that have defined Star Trek for decades, distinctive story arcs that stand up with some of the big stories of Star Trek shows of the past, and gives us that Star Trek ship family of a rich crew with great chemistry that all of the great Star Trek shows have. Long live the Lower Decks!
I’m so glad to see T'lyn is apart of the main cast. I think it’s a Katan probe. Love the science officer notebook
T’Lyn really shined in this episode…more of our new favorite Vulcan Science Officer please! 😅😁
The power generators that Boiler was working on were rather remencient of the warp 5 warp reactor on Archer's NX-01
I think we should give a Latinum Up to Seán and the TrekCulture team. You keep giving us awesome content and I'm grateful for these Ups and Downs episodes!
The afterlife look I loved, black mountain, Twin Peaks flooring and seat as well as the Koala speaking backwards was a great nod to the red room from Team Peaks. Great episode.
Why I came here. The chevron floor pattern. The backwards line of the Great Koala. Much black coffee shot out of my nose last Thursday morning.
THE KOALA SMILES UPON YOU.
🐨🧎♀️
WHY IS HE THERE?! WHAT DOES HE KNOW?!
Moopsie loves the koala...'s bones.
Closed captioning said (Speaks Koala) 😂
GET IT OFF ME! GET IT OFF ME! 😂
Boimler strongly reminded me of Harry Kim in the 7th season Voyager episode "Nightingale", where he kept micromanaging everything to the transport's detriment, with T'Lyn stepping into the Seven of Nine role from that episode. Lot of fun in this episode though. 🙂
Yeah, I'm surprised it wasn't mentioned...possibly even given a down. We've seen this story already.
It's a common enough situation with newly-promoted junior leaders. The "stepping back" from doing the task into a leadership role can be a tough adjustment.
@@williambell3304but it is different. Harry's not Lt. jnr grade...... But Paris is.
@@andrewmurray1550 But Paris has previous service. And anyway Kim is still shown to be both uncomfortable with and inexperienced in leading people in that way. The show treats him as "The new kid," and it doesn't seem like anyone actually reports to him typically.
T'Lyn is fast becoming my favorite character on this show now.
What this episode reminded me of was the episode of Next Gen entitled "When the bough breaks". In that episode this utopian planet has a computer that controls everything and the people are all artist and musicians. They are not able to have children so they kidnap the enterprise children. Turns out the caretaker is malfunctioning leading to low level radiation poisoning which sterilizes them.
According to another site, if you play it backwards the koala is saying “it’s not your time yet, Brad Boimler”
I believe this is officially the 3rd (and then I guess 4th) time Bradward Boimler has died. 1. Season 2 episode 10 when he almost drowned and Tendi resuscitated him, afterward he said “I saw a koala!” 2. Season 3 episode 8 when he passes out in the holodeck and sees a vision of Sulu, when he wakes up Dr T’ana tells him to hydrate and that he was “clinically dead.”
I haven't even got past the first up and I'm liking this if only because Sean referenced Treasure Planet.
EDIT: Just the idea of that Betazoid box living an entire life, frollicking with his wife, just makes me laugh so hard, but then I realize that that box will never experience such a life in reality and how depressed it must be knowing what it's missing. Real fridge horror stuff.
Great video! I am genuinely surprised that Twin Peaks didn't get a shout out for the white/black lodge flooring and backwards talking. Keep it up we love you.
Yeah, I haven't seen anyone get it yet. And... doesn't it mean that Twin Peaks and Trek officially share the same universe, now? :P
Why I came here. The chevron floor pattern. The backwards line of the Great Koala. Much black coffee shot out of my nose last Thursday morning.
T'Lyn saying that the Lt. Jr. Grade mortality rate was accurate didn't hit me till I watched this, but clearly she meant that many Lt. Jr. Grades die on their first mission
Lower Decks Season 5 needs a Sliders reference!
Also, floppy disks solved every single problem in the cartoons of our childhood. Also, I was an assistant manager for Blockbuster...in my early 20's.
I think we all could use a emotional support Vulan, Kirk had one, Janeway, and now Bomler they seem rather handy.
And our triumvirate is complete…Boimler (Kirk), Mariner (McCoy) and now T’Lyn (Spock)…😁
Yes! Star Trek II Saavik, please.
T'Lyn is kind of a floating ESV-she was Tendi's sidekick in the season premiere.
I'll take Archer's emotional support Vulcan! I guess maybe Trip's.
@@christopheralthouse6378 and Archer (T'Pol)....?
Season 4, so far, has been fantastic!
I LOVE Larry Niven's "Ringworld!" I've read it at least five times.
As for those floppy disks, I go back to the days of paper tape.
What about when Boimler dies the second time "get me 30CCs of whatever worked a f**king minute ago" 🤣🤣
Seriously though, imagine being stuck in an alien escape room puzzle for a month! You would definitely need therapy after that!
Or, you just be like Rutherford and speed run the whole thing! 😅😂🤣🤣🤣🤣
@@christopheralthouse6378not everyone gets the briefing on the devices.
Ya he totally owned it!
My favorite was the audio feedback between the two combadges. Good to hear they use VHF in the future
Which two comm badges?
@@Brasswatchman Boimler's and T'Lyn's
15:05 you might even say risk isn’t just part of their job, risk is their business.
Definitely loved the Fjords as a nod to hitchhiker’s guide
He won an award for Norway.
Seán, you're an absolute joy. You and the rest of the team have become an integral part of my Trek experience, and I don't consider an episode "watched" until I've seen the Ups and Downs. Thanks for all your work!
I'm disappointed that the ringworld isn't codefied as a Niven class megastructure.
That may not have been a NOMAD style probe in the room. It could have just been the central piece of the Romulus cloaking device that was sitting behind it. In the original series they used the NOMAD prop for that, you even showed a picture of it during the video.
Only the top of Nomad was used for the cloaking device. THAT device in the room was NOMAD.
@@ulphil08 knowing Lower Decks, it was probably a reference to both separately and combined, and no accident that they were both visible in shot right near each other
Lower Decks has been awesome season 4 is off to a great start.
It’s probably not, but as a Stargate fan I like how vexillon states that his creators ascended to another dimensional state cause it gives me the same vibes as the ancients in Stargate. Particularly how they leave ancient artefacts and sites (especially ring like objects) across the galaxy for others to find and use, whilst they as a majority ascend to a higher state of existence.
Also vexillon himself is similar in nature to a monitor of a halo, from halo except much less violent.
When i first saw the ring I thought supergate? Then seeing the world inside the ring I thought Halo
At least these ascended creators left an instruction manual behind, unlike the Ancients. Like seriously, not even a "avoid the front area of the gate when activating" sign much less more complex instructions on things like not wormholing through a star.
@@AdmiralBlackstar Even the time portal had text saying "This is a Time Portal". How hard would it to have included "This is a Stargate" somewhere on the device?
Now I'm really annoyed the Ancients never built a Ringworld. Seems that kind of project would be 100% their vibe. And if not them, the Asgard would've been a close second.
All of Vexilon's older Windows OS references cracked me up, including the black "Safe Mode" window superimposed on a blank Blue Screen (of Death). And the scroll in the ancient junk drawer - whoever read the paper manuals that came with the Windows boot disk(s)? I want a program to tell me it's "Initiating Fjords."
"His neurosis got a bit of a promotion as well." I laughed so hard. This is just so human.
Loved when the gift box started cursing and Tendi says Oh I didn't know Dr T'Ana came in here.
You included a photo with dear Margot Rose! I miss my wife! Bless wonderful Margot and having The Inner Light included in this episode!
This season has been great so far
"Getting the fjords right" is a reference to The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy. Slartibartfast was a fjord designer for the great computer Deep Thought's greater computer project, which was the "genesis" of the Earth.
I also think you were a little harsh on them not using Armin Shimmerman's voice... you're assuming that every Betazoid Gift Box has the same voice.
Not gonna lie...seeing Boimler's body bouncing towards the others was a shocker.
Yeah.... The "Waiting Room" is a reference to Twin Peaks, right down to the koala speaking backwards. Come on, Guys!! It was practically right in front of you!!
If you watch the episode with the subtitles on, it says that Koala "speaks in Koala language"
Another person commented saying that the Koala is saying “It not your time Bomlier” backwards. Not sure if this is true or not.
Wait this is actually Boimlers SECOND Death! Season 2 Finale he brings up the Koala which hints at visiting the waiting room before. Also how could you not up, or even reference, the Koala Room being a reference to the Red Room from Twin Peaks?
That's what I thought, he died in First First Contact
Why I came here. The chevron floor pattern. The backwards line of the Great Koala. Much black coffee shot out of my nose last Thursday morning.
Shaks has never said just what kind of bear the bear pack is, has he?
100% agree about the down for the anomaly room 😬
3 seasons and we FINALLY get a Freeman A plot. 3 seasons and we get not 1 but 2 officers named officially. Once again Tendi is a badass.....and THAT F*CKIN KOALA 😂😂😂
And now Boimler has seen what few officers below Bridge crew have ever seen…the Black Mountain!
I mean...the show IS called Lower Decks.
I'm surprised you've not done an actual "Starfield" video seeing as Armin Shimmerman,
Tim Russ,
Nana Visitor,
Tony Amendola are all in it as voice actors. I'm sure Armin could pop a few lines out with the many he did in this 😂😂
The Ringworld blew my mind too. Makes me want to go back and read the novel!
Did it remind you of the Star Wars space ring though?
You missed one Cessation Observation: The headquarters building is a clear reference to the Hall of Justice in the 1970s “Super Friends” cartoon. It’s not an exact duplicate, but it’s clearly meant to remind us of it.
Of the first three episodes this season, this is the first one I truly liked. It was funny, but also felt like a true Star Trek episode in the classic sense.
So I'm not the only one to see the resemblance Phew. But it's not really a cetacean observation (which are aimed at being Star Trek references across the franchise, in this, and each of the Ups & Downs reviews of the new Trek series shows). And the real inspiration of the "Hall of Justice" is Queen City's Union Terminal in Cinccinati.
@@andrewmurray1550 - All true, although he was mentioned references outside of Star Trek quite a number of times. What would be hilarious is if he HAD mentioned, “Hey, that looks a lot like the old Queen City Union Terminal in Cincinnati!” and never mention the Super Friends. 🤣
Dr T'Ana: "Holy shit, I can't believe that worked". That almost killed me. I missed most of the dialogue following that line because I was laughing so much. That is the Dilithium Up for me.
So about that Black Mountain waiting room. That was obviously the red room in Twin Peaks, but in black and white for some reason...
Curtains must be in the wash.
I don't think the probe was supposed to be "the" Kataan probe, as that probe shut down once it had beamed memories into Picard and fulfilled its purpose. I think it was just supposed to be a probe from another extinct civilisation with a similar mission and function, so therefore designed to look Kataan-like so fans would recognise the callback to The Inner Light.
Starfleet might have fixed the probe to replay the experience. I like the idea of the probe standing in an archeological exhibition for everyone to use, so everybody who wants it can experience the everyday life of that ancient civilization for a whole lifetime.
@anlumo1 maybe they even made duplicates
I came here to say that. Well stated!
@@QBCPerdition When you get right down to it, no one ever said that the probe Picard encountered was the only one.
@@icon_uk624 true. The "life" Picard lives implied it, but who's to say they didn't take some creative license when making their story?
I had no idea about Ringworld...as soon as I saw the Ringworld I was like "Are they visiting Halo?!?!"
I've seen other reactors and comment say the same.
@@andycooper6085 younguns don't know the classics
TOS and the kirk films show why having the logical straight man to the other crew's quirks is so damn good. Boimler was KIND of that straight man, but having T'Lynn is perfection. Every ship needs a vulcan.
Took a while, but i am SO happy to have T'Lin in the cast on the regular.
I loved that Freeman had rolled up her sleeves, like Mariner.
Did anyone else think the pattern on the floor in the Koala room was supposed to be a reference to the Black Lodge in Twin Peaks? That was the first thing that popped into my head the moment I saw it.
Well, what else would you find on a Black Mountain? I think the backwards-talking koala clinches it.
THANKS for this!!!! I don't know if I've gotten used to "Lower Decks" or that the show has gotten damn good since Season 3!!!!
Oh god, the whole Vexilon gag itself got me... The failed update, the safe mode and everything... The fact that it started to REFORMAT THE RINGWORLD as part of what was effectively a factory reset...? Absolutely _killed!_ 😂 I think the idea behind the probe was not for it to be a direct reference to the one from The Inner Light, but instead to suggest that there's just all sorts of probes like that floating around out there waiting to beam a lifetime of experiences into someone's head. (Which honestly is pretty damned funny. Spare a thought for Picard, who lived an entire other life in half an hour, had basically written off reality as a dream and upon returning to said 'dream' had to take a moment to even remember who he was, yet _still_ had to be back at work the next day! Starfleet, man...I tell ya!) Also, yeah... "Ah. It is a volcano then." The deadpan delivery _slays_ every time. 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Love that Ransom wanted the engineers to have a first look before the captain.
He had learned his lesson when he and Mariner struggled to repair that orbital lift/ space elevator after he had sent the engineers to have fun on the planet... 😁
I have only been to a Star Trek convention once in my life. It was in 1993. Terry Farrell and Alexander Siddig spoke and, at one point, started laughing and hopping. I didn't understand the reference because for some reason I can't recall, I hadn't seen Move Along Home. I was (and continue to be) a huge fan of DS9, but for some reason, I missed seeing some of the season 1 episodes. The really sad thing is that 30 years later, I still haven't watched that episode. I'm a bad Trekkie.... 😞But I promise you all this. I will watch that episode sometime before 2053 or I will be dead. Or both, I suppose.
The ending with Lieutenant Dirk ruined it all for me. It's not a prank war if one side manipulates the other into believing they're innocent from the very beginning and it seemed out of character for Ransom to go along with that. Especially stealing Billups' pet for this, something we see Billups obviously not aware of. Since he managed to weasel his way out (no pun intended) of getting what was coming to him this episode, I hope that there's a future episode where Billups finds out, and we get to see his dark side as he tells the lieutenants "let's give him the O'Brien treatment."
Some of my favorite Star Trek episodes are the mission ones. It just feels Star Trek to me.
I love that you said Niven;s kzinti!!
A bit before giving the latinum up, I couldn’t believe you didn’t quote Kirk when he told Captain Harriman, “Risk is part of the business if you want to sit in that chair”.
Am I the only one who got very Twin-Peaks vibes from the waiting room scene?
Nope, but I give it a thumbs for not using Michael Anderson as the voice of the koala,
So happy that my first up of this episode was Seán's first up too. Bring on the Puppeteers!
I LOVE Lower Decks! I thought the waiting room was rather like something from the Red Lodge in Twin Peaks, and that the koala was talking backwards.
When the Ring World's computer wanted to reboot the Ring and spoke of the fjords, my first thought was of Slartybartfast from Hitch-Hiker's Guide to the Galaxy who worked on creating custom built worlds and personaly loved doing fjords on coastline.
And in the HHGTTG series, the Earth was a custom built world that was actually a giant computer, built for 'Pan Dimensional Beings' rather than 5th Dimentional Beings.
I love T'Lyn's sarcastic sense of humor.
Sean: “I’m just going to go to Cetacean Observation before stuff gets weird.”
Us: “Too late.”
Captain Freeman rolling up her sleeves in the way we've only ever seen Mariner do is a lovely mother/daughter nod
Hiya Sean, well done! I just wanted to chime in and say how much I loved how you outro’d this video. You and all the gang at TrekCulture are a genuine delight and very much do entertain, as well as offer a welcome (and positive) diversion from heavier matters. Can’t imagine Star Trek without ya!
I think I live for this as much as the show. Keep up the good work
I'm shipping Boimler and T'Lin.
Boimler and the Space Koala scene is an homage to Twin Peaks and the waiting room dream sequence. If you reverse the audio of that scene the koala says, the time backwards when here. And even Boimler's "oh hi" becomes "uh yeah" when reversed. The entire waiting room scene for Twin Peaks was performed in reverse and then played in reverse for the episode.
Also I should add that I appreciated seeing different character dynamics with the teams mixed. Mariner, Tendi and Rutherford were able to hold a storyline and Boimler and T'Lyn worked well together, fun seeing the role reversal with T'Lyn playing straight man to Boimler wackiness. And cool finally seeing a Ringworld in Star Trek, can't believe Star Wars actually got their Ringworld first. On a scale of one to ten I would rate this episode an 8.08. Thank you.
when Boimleer is in that room with the Koala two words came to my mind TWIN PEAKS
I love it! A great season! I hope they do many more!
Thanks TC team!!
Sean, sure wish you would give Mastodon the love it deserves. There is a HUGE StarTrek fanbase there.
After your first down, i (mentally) screamed "Nerd!!!!"
Easter eggs are there for a reason boys
Vulcans have the best sense of humor in Star Trek 😂
It's adorable that his first thought was Disney's treasure planet and his editor's first choice is Halo.
And he put the picture up!
And I'm yelling at him to just say Halo😂😂😊
"I miss my wife" better be a damn running joke for the season. I laughed SO DAMN HARD i had to pause the episode.
I suspect the references to Fjords has part of rebooting the system was a shout out to The Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy
Came here to say this, too! 🤪👍
Slartibartfast was particularly of his Fjords.
We need more Trek Docs like that! Still amazed by the medical miracles that exist in universe.
Thank you for geeking out so hard about the floppy disks!
Laughed at the floppy disks remembrance. My first computer job was booting it by flipping switches and backing up the disks, which looked a bit like a horizontal car tire. It was a whole 256K… 😂
