The Author, sitting at a desk by himself, lists the high-level layers of abstraction describing the inner-workings of his computer as he is using it to perform a task.
At this point, the Reader can barely contain his excitement over the large quantity of technical nomenclature being displayed before him. He is excited about the things he is aware of, and is opening new tabs in Firefox to look up those that he isn’t. As the Reader’s excitement is rising, the Author reveals that the task requiring this incredible amount of technology is the viewing of a humorous cat video. The Reader is now joyous. He too has seen videos of cats on the internet, and can now relate to the Author. The Author is just like him, they are best friends. The peak of excitement approaches.
In a triumphant finale, the Author elevates himself (and the Reader) to God-like status for commanding such a complex machine to carry out frivolous tasks. With this the Reader suddenly reaches an explosive climax with hot threads of excitement and joy spilling across his keyboard. He is now satisfied.
