Aurora Borealis!? At this time of year, at this time of day, at this part of the country, localized entirely within maybe as far south as Alabama to northern California?

I love the last panel. He's waiting for a miraculous bit flip.
Edit: Context and the cosmic bit flip is probalby not true: https://youtu.be/vj8DzA9y8ls
I don't know dude. It sounds that this YTer is a bit angry about a possible explanation that sounds reasonable and has no proof to debunk it either.
I would be angry too if I have already done lots of research trying to figure this out and the top videos and articles talking about it all say the least likely thing is what actually happened.
Not gunna get cosmic rays at night though.
Could be a neutrino strike.
(Or it could be an N64 memory expansion pack being flaky because damn they were flaky. It doesn't matter that your game isn't actually using the extended memory, it's still shitting all over the RAMBUS).
At least not until that civilization ending gamma ray burst thats been traveling for millions of years lazers the fuck out of our atmosphere without warning.
I recognized that scene immediately but didn't know it was called the "cosmic bit flip"
And then Nintendo Ninjas break into his house for playing on an emulator.
Nope, he's playing with original hardware, the screen shot is a reference to what was a speed running bounty. There was a streamer playing that part of Super Mario 64 and he glitched straight up, if it could be repeated it would be a great time save for speed running. After years of investigation the community decided that it was caused by a bit flip probably caused by cosmic radiation. You can't get that bit flip on an emulator.
Hey so the cosmic ray thing was a really popular meme but the glitch was probably just a crooked cartidge. It's funny to imagine a cosmic ray doing this but the odds are so low as to be functionally impossible, and this kind of glitch can happen with dirty or loose connections.

Someone else already linked this video so here is a link to their comment
Woah my question is how does these guys exist ? Like rent, food clothes, electricity, water, pc etc. ain't exactly cheap even if he inherited the house that only takes care of the rent issue. If anyone here is like that do tell me your secrets.
Despite the common assumption that most of these types of people are living at home with Mommy and Daddy I've known several programmers or coders who work from home and basically live like this.
They only really leave the house for groceries or shit like that. Honestly outside of the hygiene aspects I'd kill to rarely need to leave my home.
Event documented as a sidetrack in future Summoning Salt video transpiring as we speak.
Sidetrack over, queue HOME - We're Finally LandingSteamour! The house is on fire!
Steamed hams except instead of Principal Seymour Skinner it’s Principal Steamour Skinner.
I get it.
Still waiting for someone to solve the TTC upwarp glitch.
spoiler
It's almost certainly due to faulty hardware
I know. I've watched that video. It's extra funny that the TASer(?) bought the N64 from the speedrunner just to investigate it

Yes
Fuck i'd watch aurora instead
And risk missing a solar bit flip bug?
I'll record it with camera and have some bits flip there...
Alabama is so much farther south than northern California. How far south is it? Does Kansas fit in the range?
