People downvoting this either didn't read it or don't understand that this is mocking the original image.

My curfew was garden hose

I mean come on. This is clearly not meant to be taken seriously, and the fact that it is may be a testament to OP's editing skills or those of whoever OP got the post from.

What audiobooks are you currently listening

I just finished Project Hail Mary by Andy Weir. It's an awesome near future sci fi about an astronaut with amnesia trying to save Earth from impending doom.

I love how technical Weir gets. He really makes me excited about math and science because he shows the practical application of it all. And I especially love the element of discovery that is prominent throughout, but especially in the beginning of the book. It just keeps getting better and better as the main character continues making discoveries about himself and his environment.

The narrator, Ray Porter, did a fine job. He isn't my favorite narrator, but he certainly didn't get in the way, which is enough for me.

Finally, I purchased and listened to the book on Audible.

It might be real, but if it is, it is almost certainly satire. Or it's real and some people are actually that oblivious.

You can teleport someone to the modern day and only show them one gaming platform and one game

If I have time to have them play the whole game (or at least the main story) I would probably have them play Red Dead Redemption 2. It's a beautiful game with great mechanics, but most importantly I think it may be the most well told story in a video game ever.

The platform matters less to me in this case, but probably a really good PC so I can crank the textures and get some ray tracing going.

Was it beehaw? I was going to make an account there as well until I saw that down votes were disabled. They really do feel like a critical part of the experience.
