Yatta Explains How Copy+Paste Was Invented
- yatta: i need to look up my old blog posts
- yatta: b/c i used to type them into my blog.
- yatta: a long time ago
- ellie: you would TYPE them?
- ellie: you're not that old before copy and paste was invented
- yatta: copy and paste was invented in 2005
- yatta: don't make fun. back then, all we had was 'copy'
- yatta: we would copy shit but not have anything we could do with it
- yatta: it'd take up all 256MB of our RAM
- yatta: we'd sit there and think, daymn. what am i gonna do with all of that shit I just copied.
- yatta: and then one day, a man by the name Lucious Paste invented a technique we all came to call 'Pasteogramy'
- yatta: or 'Paste' for short.
- yatta: thus, 'pasting' was born
- yatta: but it wasn't until a patent dispute between Marcielo Copy and Lucious Paste was settled for the sum of $500 and a chicken that 'copy' and 'paste' could be combined into a single action.
- yatta: Hence the 'copy and paste' we all take for granted.
- ellie: ....
- ellie: your kids are going to be really bored one day.
