I found the Cunt Coloring Book from the 1970’s. Yes, scanned in as PDF. Yes, a few pages were already colored in, mostly psychedelic colors though.
And yes, it’s exactly what it sounds like, a bunch of hand drawn lady parts to be colored in.
Ah I didn’t think to look into that part of my downloads for PDFs
The Death report for Kurt Cobain. Mostly from morbid curiosity and a love for Nirvana. I don’t do that for everyone or anything like that. That’s the weirdest one. 😅
Let’s see, The CIA’s Simple Sabotage Field Manual, some paper on MKultra, some paper about The Hum, Some scientific paper on the longevity of recordable optical media, and a paper about crows.
Mine is this report by the central bank where they tested the insurance sector at-large for resillience to financial shocks. ^(Although after reading some books by nassim nicholas taleb, I realize that testing using the worst imaginable shocks isn’t sufficient as black swan events are by their nature unpredictable)
CIA sabotage handbook.
Should add the poor man’s James bond. The anarchist cookbook. The army survival manual. There is an old army improvised munitions manual.
There are lots of fun reads that should probably be held onto.
Ooh could you link me to the above?
The Airplane Flying Handbook, I guess.
I think if i dig through my records I can find a federal subpoena from 2016. A LEO had to formally come to my door to confirm I received it but the prosecutor sent it to me via email.
I’ve got the Pokemon Quartz pokedex. It’s pretty cursed.
260 pages!??
Nothing too weird. Multiple manuals of objects that I own, probably the weirdest of which is a German manual for my Canon EOS 300 (I’m not German). And some machine learning papers, among which a paper from 1987, by Quinlan & Rivest, about decision trees (which is older than I am).
EDIT: Oh and another document older than me, a manual for the Minolta XG-9 that I’m lending from my dad.
I agree it feels weird to come across files that’ve been around for longer than you have.
An older text, reinterpreted by Meaty McMeat.
Boringly, the only thing in there currently is the guide from the dmv (mvc, sorry) for nj to review cause I’m feeling old and need a refresher.
(1984) Reflections of Trusting Trust by Ken Thompson
It’s a really short PDF and it’s not as technical as it seems, but gives a good lesson on how programs evolve, and what exactly trust means in the software world
