Demo Core

2026-02-26 18:58:32.97292+01 by Dan Lyke 5 comments

I don't know why this particular image makes me giggle like it does, but ‪Pickl es!‬ ‪@misterpickleman.bsky.social‬:

Post a meme made by you.

A green cartoon ferret braced against a table edge trying to pull a screwdriver out of an assembly that references the 'Demon Core' plutonium–gallium alloy casting that was involved in two criticality incidents with resulting fatalities. The caption reads 'is it so hard to put the screwdrivers away when you're done, guys?'

I don't quite get, what is it pulling the screwdriver out of?

Actually I still have questions.

But first, this fixes one thing that is bugging me about that meme: https://imgur.com/a/CdKNvb1

What I don't understand is why is this post titled "Demo Core". Typo? Metal genre? Call to action?

I'm missing the fix.

And, yeah, typo, but I like the idea of a genre... Hardcore from the demo scene. https://thegoldendisk.demozoo.org/

I added something for his feet to press against.
