Heyyo, not much of a post, just letting you know that I was trying something out today and managed to connect a laptop to an internet cable...
And one of the wires was broken, so I connected it via a potato.
I actually broke the wire. At the upcoming science fair (I participate in 'em or I write five pages of analyzing an analysis. Yuuuuugh.) I intend to have a laptop connected to the internet ENTIRELY by potatoes. And, if they have a good internet service, I JUST MIGHT briefly launch a Minecraft server...
Which would be called PotatoCraft. :biggrin.gif:

Things I wish I could do: Undo everything I ever did on the internet before the year... I dunno... 2013
Imma take a picture eeeeaaaarrrrllllyyyy tomorrow morning, since it's way late tonight, and I don't have the energy to actually do anything other than type forum posts.
Please note that I have no idea how well this works. I only know that I was able to get the laptop an internet connection, whether it was fast or slow.

What about the Russians? This is a much better use for potatoes than Vodka.
They are arguably just as good uses :3

He can use the internet through a potato. A POTATO.
Why aren't we funding this??
Maybe because fibre optic is a bajillion times faster :3c
I must admit connecting to the potatonet sounds like fun though :biggrin.gif:

Do not wallow do not stall
Time waits for none at all
Your allowance may crawl,
It may fly or even vanish
But none will seem more lavished
Than time lost to all.
I'm wondering what type of cord he patched with this though.
Most computer cables I know of have tons of little wires inside of them, and splicing all of them through a single potato would not end well for the connection.

You have just started
To read the haiku that you
Just finished reading
Fiber Optic also doesn't cure world hunger! You can't make vodka from fiber optics either!
Yeah but you can't make vodka with your potatowire or else your potatonet connection will go down D:

Ladies and gentlemenForum posters, MacGyver is among us.Not really, MacGyver could make the internet work with a spoon, a cantine, and a vacuum tube.
Actually, I think MacGuyver could make the internet OUT OF a spoon, cantine, and a vacuum tube. He might also need some duct-tape though.

Mac is too manly for that duct tape ****, he's all about forcing parts together.

If he made it himself because he absolutely cannot manhandle it, then it is acceptable. MacGuyver makes his own rules.

A POTATO.
