What I mean is like, what do you think is unironically awesome, even if people now think its cringe or stupid?

    Modern magic. We tricked crystals into thinking by drugging them and zapping them with electricity. Then we used those crystals to trick matricies into hallucinating by forcing them to guess the answer to math questions and smacking them when they get it wrong and kept doing that until they get it right. Ethics and hype aside, it’s pretty fucking wild.

      At first I thought you would talk about Magic the Gathering. My confusion increased with every sentence.

        They’re talking about computer chips. We dug up rocks, melted them down, and extracted the parts we wanted. Then we engraved arcane and imperceptible runes on and inside of them, using an extremely expensive and delicate process. Then we trapped lightning inside of them, and told them to show us videos of cats.

          You missed the bit before engraving them where we grow the rocks into crystals and “drug” (using the OP’s term) them by infusing them with the essence of different rocks, to turn them into slightly different kinds of rocks, which need to be very precisely combined for the engraving to produce the intended result.
