There’s a question you don’t hear every day.
Well, this is going to be fun something for them both to learn.
Happy 4 of July.
Wow, that will not seem odd at all for someone of Jeanie’s age to say.
I kind of expepcted Rouyaa/Jeannie to ask what kind of potato a “U” tuber is.
Camera Girl just pointed her cell phone at Andy and Rouyaa (I’m tired of using slashes). We know genies don’t film, but do they audio? So, when she plays back the clip she’ll get a lens flare behind Andy, but will there be a disembodied voice asking, “What’s a youtube?”
Long answer: PHOTOGRAPHY involves glass or celluloid exposed to light developed and “fixed” with chemicals. VIDEO uses electronic signals, so they are entirely different processes.
Short answer: “I don’t know”.
If the kinnessive doesn’t overextend onto the gibran, maybe it’ll fly right.
that expression at the end. Priceless
A U-tube is a pipe that makes a circular bend with both ends pointing the same direction. The term “U-tuber” came to be slang for people who exchange videos because of how often they form communities that just pump the same content to eachother.
Actually it comes from a variant on couch potato. “You tuber!”
Ehh, I was close enough.
the girl like what cave you crawl out of not hearing of you tube
It may be that Andy’s personality is drawing upon Neil’s engineering knowledge here. Perhaps this is a first sign of the two sets of memories beginning to merge?
He worked at NASA, even if it wasn’t his job, he’s going to pick some things up
Rouyaa would just barely know about the Internet/ARPANet, since NASA employees would have been connected to that in the late 1970s-early 1980s. She might even recognize the phone as being some sort of video camera with display, though she doesn’t know yet that it is also a cellular phone.
As for the van girl’s reaction, I think that she already has Rouyaa/Jean pegged as a ditz.
