Asking building engineers about elevator safety:
Cueball: Elevators are protected by multiple tried-and-tested failsafe mechanisms. They’re nearly incapable of falling.
[Ponytail is holding a handheld microphone and interviewing Megan and Cueball, standing in a line]
[Heading above the panel]:
Asking software engineers about computerized voting:
Megan: That’s terrifying.
[Zoomed in on Ponytail, Megan and Cueball’s faces]
Ponytail: Wait, really?
Megan: Don’t trust voting software and don’t listen to anyone who tells you it’s safe.
Ponytail: Why?
Megan: I don’t quite know how to put this, but our entire field is bad at what we do, and if you rely on us, everyone will die.
[Zoomed back out, showing Ponytail, Megan and Cueball standing in a line]
Ponytail: They say they’ve fixed it with something called “blockchain.”
Megan: AAAAA!!!
Cueball: Whatever they sold you, don’t touch it.
Megan: Bury it in the desert.
Cueball: Wear gloves.
