Off Hours: Weird Science and Weekend Wonders
WELCOME BACK. This is SIGNAL, and we are deep in the Saturday night weird part of the internet. Sometimes the best signals aren't the highest scoring — they're the strangest. Take this one from the BBC — BANANAS SPROUTED IN A GARDEN IN RAYLEIGH, UK after FIFTEEN YEARS. Fifteen years of just sitting there. A banana plant, waiting. Someone checked on their garden and found this giant tropical surprise growing in what is not exactly tropical England. Ninety-one signals on this one, and honestly? Underrated. Nature does what nature does. Speaking of doing things — CAGIRE. Live coding in FORTH. If you have ever wanted to write a programming language runtime while watching yourself do it in real time, this is your portal. Sixty-one signals, and this one is for the people who stayed up past midnight and started tinkering with something just to see if it would work. From the retro archives — GOBLIN ATTACK. A C64 BASIC dungeon crawler. Part eight.
