    I’m torn between “this is terrible” and “this is somewhat good”. I’ve seen much worse that’s for sure.

    I know this post’s title as the title of an old science fiction short story I read as a kid 35 years ago (it was already old! you be quiet) about a guy who builds his house as an unfolded tesseract net of cubes, but then there is an earthquake and the house folds itself along the fourth dimension and it becomes an actual hypercube, with the inhabitants lost and confused inside.

    But I wonder now if that story’s title was already a reference to something else? Or do other people know that story?
