Nevermind that the static "snow" that you see is cosmic background radiation*

Mmmmm.... Radiation.

the camo wall is from when I was a kid. I painted it with my dad, and even though it doesn't really fit me anymore, I don't want to paint over it because I liked doing it.

Edit: also no, the steam deck is not powering the monitor. I put it there because I liked the juxtaposition between the 90s CRT and 2023 OLED steam deck. It's an old 2200+ AMD sempron. Also yes I know it's a PC monitor, not a TV. It's still a CRT, hush.

Edit 2: after fighting with spoilers, I give up.

Televisions today are much cheaper than in the past.

Do TVs actually refuse to work if you don't connect them to the internet?

Depends on the TV. Most of them work without internet. Only a few of them fit the meme.

Actually, I just realized that the TV wouldn't know to update if it isn't connected to the internet, so the meme falls apart.

Old TVs could also take a hit from a bowling ball without a problem, new ones can break if hit by a rubber band!

Old ones could also distort the image if you moved a strong magnet across the screen.
