Also: "Well it all starts here (points to Italy), in Australia, where it's mined ..."

@kirakira That's a beautiful pumpjack!

It makes a lot of sense that the internet is in fact a fossil resource.

It has to be true.

I saw it on the internet.

@kirakira

They need the water to grow the AI cabbages, in the sahara dessert (points to Italy).

@kirakira That looks like it's from Look Around You with new narration and subtitles but can't find the exact source

@jackeric @kirakira

I would guess clips from old trade-promotion films. British Pathe put a bunch of them on YouTube some time back, such as "Our Daily Bread".

@kirakira now I know why my Australians nephews and nieces roll their eyes every time a try to talk to them about the interwebs:

Everything is different down there.

@kirakira I am sorry, but the guy hosing the bad internet away needs to be fired and replaced.

@kirakira They missed some places while washing away the bad internet.
