    Reminds me, back in like, 2007, Nine Inch Nails did a promotion for their new album where they left “mystery” USB drives with media from the “future”, themed from album, in public areas at their shows. People couldn’t wait to find them and jam them into their computers to piece the story all together.

        Once some guy on the street gave me a dvd. I stuck it into my computer and it was a documentary about how nfc payment microchips in the hand are the mark of the beast. Freaked me out.

          Although I formatted the hard drive and sold the PC to a secondhand electronic shop, that PC is still part of the 5G Vax botnet today.

      At some point there was a trend where people were putting usb sticks into walls and encouraging people to plug in to them.
