It'd be nice if there were a topic summary. What is this about? I'm not going to devote part of my day reading/watching something about chainsaws to understand

  Tom7's relatively small oeuvre of videos are frequently re-posted here and just as frequently re-upvoted, and they deserve to be. Discovering what the video is about as it discursively unfolds is part of the joy. There comes a moment in every video (multiple moments, even) where you'll suddenly be like, "wait, I can't believe what you appear to be suggesting", only to find out that not only is he suggesting it, he actually implemented it. There are few video creators who are as attuned to the hacker mindset as Tom7; I decline to summarize and instead strongly recommend you watch it and find out for yourself. It's a video about the logistics of juggling a trillion chainsaws, in a manner of speaking.

    Your comment makes it sound even less appealing since I avoid getting nerd sniped by my hacker mindset and go on to topics that actually interest me

      I don’t think Tom7 videos will ‘nerd snipe’ you. Nobody has watched a Tom7 video and thought ‘wait, I need to implement something like that’. They will give you some things to think about, some new metaphors to use (you clearly like geeky creators who give you metaphors to employ since you are aware of XKCD’s ‘nerd sniping’), and they will entertain you.

  Throwing chainsaws in space is probably a more reasonable "juggle" that for example using blockchains as mass storage. It's also probably cheaper for the environment to boot.
