The real MVP of the post
This just triggered a memory of the smell of the TV cooling down Like a metallic smell with crackle of electric in the air. And touching the screen as it cooled down and you could feel little tingles of charge leaping at your fingertips. Thinking back now, fat screens were really weird.
Perhaps the smell of ozone? CRTs also produced a tremendous amount of static too. I remember playing with the static on my monitor when I was younger. CRTs were pretty cool. Very weird, too.
If you thought the static on the OUTSIDE was fun... Never disconnect a cathode tube assembly from the power board without discharging EVERYTHING first. It's lethal. https://youtu.be/a6FMpvs71pc
(Apologies. Idk how to do piped links)
(Edit: tracker removed. Thank you!)
Here's the link without site tracking: https://youtu.be/a6FMpvs71pc
I don't know how to do piped links either. Isn't there a bot for that? I see it sometimes, but not every time.
There's extensions to automatically redirect. Just post the youtube link, piped users can figure out how to get it to pipe.
I don't know if it's the same with piped but in libretube app settings you can set it to open YouTube links by default
Oh yeah, I've long heard of their terrifying capacitors and other stuff. I'd never service one x3
Hey wait.... Yeah what the hell? They did do that.
That is one latent memory that I simply don't remember.
Basically the CRT I still use on my computer. Pops at least once a week and wakes me up.
I'm both impressed and frightened that you are using a CRT. Incredible.
Gotta get the translucent water effect on Sonic.
Only true gamers use cheap CRTs from 2006
Why do you use one? Just curious
Just thought it would be fun, it was only $3 at goodwill so there wasn't much reason not to.
Haha! What the heck caused that? It did happen often enough that I relate to this meme.
Expansion and contraction from temperature changes. Or maybe ghosts, no one can say for sure
I'm going with "ghosts".
It's absolutely the most logical and mundane of the two explanations.

Is that what Ghosts in the Shell was all about?
That was just the magic fizzling out after a long day.
The mini people inside must get tired of working all day.
Hv discharge from the tube/caps
I don't think we're talking about the same sound
Cathode Ray Tube love. Let’s have a little static when we touch it! ⚡️
Either high pitched whine or the HBO theme.
Not sure what this is referring to, mine make lots of noises but I wouldn't describe any as a crack
Entering REM :)
Ominous
Not to mention the scart Cable, big cable going from tv to PS2. I had to move the tv.
Huh. A non-useless "nobody:". It's like spotting a coelacanth.
It’s still completely better with that cut off tbh
