It was taking like a feature film and then cutting out all the highlights so that I could make like basically reels or like, you know, it wasn't Instagram, but basically like these little clips that people would search and find like a comm shot or like a cream pie or whatever search term they would use to find this specific little clip.
And so I would put together these little clips and then tag it with all the search terms somebody would use to find it.
And so it was all just like watch the whole film and pick out all the most disgusting moments you can find and turn that into a clip.
And then I started getting this thing called the Tetris effect.
So if you play Tetris for too long, you start seeing the shapes falling.
You hallucinate, basically.
So you'll just be making dinner or whatever, and you're just hallucinating the Tetris shapes.
But I was hallucinating gaping buttholes.
I only lasted two weeks.
But it was the best paying job.
Out of all of them that I had, because I got paid by how many clips I got done in a certain amount of time.
And so I was making like 30 bucks an hour, which is great for a high school dropout, you know.
And so it was good money.
But with the Tetris effect thing happening to me, there was like a light socket over my bed.
that I had taken the light bulb out of because it was too bright.
And every night when I fell asleep, I would like stare at that and see a gaping butthole.
I was just like, this is not healthy.
Like this can't be good for me to continue doing, you know?
