speedhose blasts your timeline one
word at a time, center screen, at 500 wpm — @angussoftware.dev's
joke, made real. In that thread,
@words.bsky.social asked
for a version that flashes entire posts instead of single words — the first cut held each post on
screen just as long as speedhose would've read it word by word, but @words.bsky.social came back and said
no: flash the whole post instantly, for a very small fixed duration, so you can never actually
read it — just catch it. Type a handle, this watches the live firehose for who they follow and blips each
whole post center-screen for however many milliseconds you set, looping a rolling buffer forever.
@shimmermathlabs.com
asked, mid-thread, "does anyone remember blipverts?" — the subliminal fast-cut ads from Max Headroom. Now you
will, and now you can't even read them.
