Ive been a hacker for quite some time now, I find myself watching cartoons occasionally when I get my hands on television. I find them a very effective way to relieve the mental pressure. The absurd activities take my mind off of the issues at hand for a little while, which to me is a great mental relief.<p>To my surprise, a lot of hackers around me also watch cartoons. Compared to non-hackers, most of whom consider cartoons a childish activity and waste of time.<p>So here is my question, do you still watch cartoons?
Hey, that's very interesting, because I currently am working on a startup idea of my own, and today just about 2 hrs back, I wanted to enter our database with some random content (this is to do with multimedia stuff). And I chose cartoons. Not sure why! I find them creative, amusing, absurd, logic(&physics)-defying, and of course funny! I could have chosen anything though ... I think there is a synergy between hackers, sci-fi and cartoons!
yes, although not necessarily for the same reason your stating. cartoons are a medium i enjoy in many different forms because what is depicted isn't restricted by what can or can't be done on film.<p>there are some great serious movies/shows in cartoon form that couldn't be done on film due to the restrictions of reality/cgi/etc..<p>and for that exact same reason, there are some great humor-based cartoons that are funny because of the absurdity introduced by removing the limitations of reality.
