Not Giving Up The Ghost (band)

"The doctor said I really need to gain weight so I went to the gym to work out really hard and almost fainted and died it's so hard I don't get how people do it ;___; I consume the same amount of calories per day as a newborn baby and have no intention to change that because I start feeling weird (describes the classic symptoms of refeeding syndrome) if I eat more than normal."

"I inhale as much food as 15 men five times my weight who do 16-hour days hauling oil rigs through solid land by dragging them on ropes and in a prehistoric era the clan would have stoned me to death out of fear that I'm possessed by some famine demon. If you tell me to eat more I will fucking eat you too."

everybody here's my tiny crochet coelacanth <3

Have you guys seen that clip

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.
