Imagine voyager would've been a HP printer...

Marv, pull up SCP-2669 please.

Corruption on computing technology is nothing new and will probably always exist.

There is nothing more eldritch than cosmic rays.

Ok... I don't care about spoilers, if we are getting "cosmic horror" in the future seasons of "planet earth 20**" just let me know now.

Literally a bad memory chip, something completely normal with PCs on earth too. Spooky.

Space horror enthusiasts offer an alternate theory...

It saw the Squamous Sun.

It lasted almost 50 years and you say "something completely normal"?

Yes, ram has little tiny switches that flip horizontal or vertical, to reflect a 1 or 0, and those can wear down over time. Crappy ram dies in a few years or less, some last for decades.

Nah dude, the void stared back, the void stared back. The probe got probed man. That Nichey guy prophesied all this.

See, the truth is, Voyager doesn't exist anymore, it hit the edge of our universe and it's the aliens responding, trying to learn our programming language. That's why it's garbled right now.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 6 months ago

That's false. Voyager ceased to exist the moment it was launched off god's beautiful green flat earth.

There are 50+ year old computers running on earth too

[–] [email protected] 3 points 6 months ago

Some of them in systems that may just shock and irradiate you.

Unprecedented yet normal 🤷🏻‍♀️

It gazed upon infinity and found it lacking

I would imagine there is enough cosmic radiation outside our heliosphere to easily fry silicon components from that time period

[–] [email protected] 8 points 6 months ago

when aliens, say it is noise

There is NO brain inside voyager 1 that will be turned back into a normal human by an alien race and then come up with a fairy tale that really is a coded message that surreptitiously describes advanced alien technology though symbolism.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 6 months ago

So not a fourth body problem. Got it.

[–] [email protected] 35 points 6 months ago (2 children)

just release the voyager technobabble to the internet, some space and comp sci nerd somewhere, or 300, because realistically, it's going to be a bunch of people will decode it and figure out exactly what the hardware problem is. Within a few months.

Conspiracy theory speedrun any%

[–] [email protected] 4 points 6 months ago

fuck yeah, here we come!

NASA figured it out recently. A particular piece of memory became corrupted for some reason. They're developing a workaround.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 6 months ago

of course nasa figures it out, i would venture to say it's probably the being in space for the period of about 50 years aspect of it, that had something to do with it.

It's funny how the 4chan wojak maymay have gained normie acceptance. As we say; kek.
