This reminded me of a random HN submission. Someone was reading a terms of service agreement out loud. And I think that audio was like 20 minutes long, and only a minor joke in the background of a webpage that was an even bigger joke or parody. Does that sound familiar to anyone?



Ah I found it, I was combining two memories.

This is what I was thinking of: https://www.zzzuckerberg.com/


That was hilarious. Also kudos for paying a person instead of using AI to generate it.


ROFL

made my day


I just about lost it at the "may be very subtle" around 3:35...


Having listened now, I see what you wanted was to have David Cross read it in (almost any) one of his characters.

We can probably arrange a Cameo to achieve this!


I didn't know RFC 2119 by number, but it was the first one I ever read. What was your first RFC experience?


RFC 821, the original. I operated a mail relay some lifetimes ago and I knew this one by heart.


RFC1459, the IRC one. I wrote the QuakeNet channel services once upon a time.


POP, for which I implemented a client. A webapp to read your mail. In C. Awful to our modern ears, but the functionality was something of an achievement at the time.


RFC 1034 for me.


Everything's a spectacle
