    If only I knew how to crosspost. The world building and TTRPG communities would love this.

    The listed sources are from the 19th century… I wonder if anybody ever did this, or it’s just apocryphal.

      Binary takes up way more space when written out. Because binary translates to numbers, and those numbers will need to be translated into characters, the two people would need to settle on a common character set to ensure that messages can be properly decoded and not end up with the black diamond question mark symbol. Personally, I like UTF-8, but it might not be the best choice because some characters may take up much more space than others, resulting in a potential buffer overflow.

        I think we’re missing the obvious. No one can timely speak binary or other like that and the convenience is a selling point.

        A few different skin locations may make more sense then a meat keyboard. A stab above the left knee= danger

        I could also reason that a scam should use a preys language but I can’t imagine what a scammer would get out of selling this operation.

          That’s because you don’t have skin in the game

      I remember I was still young enough when Myspace came out, being in someone’s top 8 or whatever was a big deal… having your skin graft removed from someone’s arm would have been devastating.

    People today believe magic crystals can cure cancer or curse someone. There’s always been dipshits. 🤷

      If both of you start to experience rejection of the tissue, that just means pain projection is working as intended!
