| 00:00 - 00:05 | My sister had sent me a letter. Elaborately decorated and with explicit instructions on the back |
| 00:05 - 00:07 | to open it on camera, as is customary for us |
| 00:07 - 00:10 | So tonight, I was still up and she was on her lunch break |
| 00:11 - 00:16 | so we decided to zoom and open the letter... |
| 00:17 - 00:21 | and what did I find inside? |
| 00:21 - 00:24 | a single post-it, saying... |
| 00:29 - 00:31 | "A post-it? REALLY??" |
| 00:31 - 00:34 | I was laughing so hard I couldn't breathe, and I didn't stop laughing |
| 00:38 - 00:40 | for probably 20 minutes |
| 00:41 - 00:47 | so I don't even know why I'm still here |
| 00:47 - 00:50 | She sent an envelope with a single post-it note, |
| 00:50 - 00:56 | for almost $4 postage, around the globe, |
| 00:58 - 00:59 | during COVID |
| 00:59 - 01:01 | FOR A POST-IT |
| 01:04 - 01:06 | If I would have died |
| 01:06 - 01:08 | of a heart attack from laughing |
| 01:13 - 01:14 | it would have been worth it |
| 01:14 - 01:16 | I don't know how to explain this |
| 01:16 - 01:20 | you'll either think this is super funny or you won't |
| 01:21 - 01:27 | I kind of suspected that this might lead to a puzzle hunt |
| 01:35 - 01:36 | so after laughing (and crying) |
| 01:36 - 01:39 | for an appropriate amount of time |
| 01:41 - 01:44 | I liberated the post-it note from the envelope |
| 01:44 - 01:47 | to check the back |
| 01:47 - 01:49 | What was on the back? |
| 01:50 - 01:53 | NOTHING |
| 01:54 - 01:56 | and I laughed |
| 01:56 - 01:58 | for another 20 minutes |
| 01:58 - 02:02 | Anyway, in the end it turned out |
| 02:05 - 02:07 | there WAS something on the back |
| 02:10 - 02:11 | but it was tiny |
| 02:11 - 02:13 | and I didn't see it through the tears |
| 02:15 - 02:17 | also my eyes are combined 80 years old |
| 02:17 - 02:20 | which probably doesn't help with seeing tiny things |
| 02:21 - 02:28 | It was an URL leading my to a very sweet letter |
| 02:29 - 02:30 | encrypted |
| 02:30 - 02:32 | with the decryption hint in the form of music |
| 02:36 - 02:39 | that started playing |
| 02:40 - 02:42 | when I went to the website. |
| 02:50 - 02:55 | Good stuff! |
| 02:56 - 02:58 | So I mean I was also right |
| 02:58 - 03:04 | about the puzzle hunt |
| 03:04 - 03:09 | which is an amazing and fun gift |
| 03:09 - 03:11 | but the most amazing thing |
| 03:16 - 03:20 | was the 45 minutes I thought |
| 03:23 - 03:26 | I'd gotten a single, fucking sarcastic sticky note |
| 03:31 - 03:36 | from Australia for my birthday |
