Nigerian Pride 🏳️‍🌈🇳🇬

Details: a lesbian couple hold hands and laugh. A gay couple have their hands over each others shoulders. 2 trans people dance together, bumping hips. A non binary person stands confidently holding a cane. 2 asexuals sit on the ground together, one has vitiligo. 2 bisexuals dance funkily together. 2 pansexuals are having fun, 1 has climbed up on the others shoulders. They are holding two drinks and they are spilling both of them. Lastly, an older lady poses alone with rainbow fabric draped over her.

i have a file or folder on my pc that i want to share with other people. let's call it gayshit.mp3

unfortunately gayshit.mp3 is 750mb and im not paying for discord nitro so i need another way to send it

i put it into qbittorrent and it makes a torrent file. this is essentially a very small file that points to gayshit.mp3 so other computers can find it. kinda like a treasure map

i send this tiny file to my friend, who loads it into qbittorrent. their computer takes a moment to find mine over the vast expanse of cyberspace and then (as long as my pc is running and the file is still where it should be), it gets copied from my hard drive to theirs

this is the cool part: if somebody else loads that tiny file, they can download it from both of us. if i'm offline but my friend is on, the third person can still get it. this also means that if two people have separate halves of the file, they can download the other half from each other. as long as some combination of people have the pieces between them, they can all have the whole thing.

crucially this does not require a server!!! you can just upload the file to a few people and as long as they keep it, it's still accessible. as long as somebody, somewhere is still connected, it's available forever. the only way it goes away is if everybody disconnects from it.

For @blupjeansweek with the prompt of "meal", I took the cloning pod / "man I forgot how good I look ... I'm going to smooch fucking your brains out, babe" scene from the podcast, and made it LONGER!!!
