This is the kind of meticulous insanity that deserves applause. Translating a 4,000-year-old complaint into Vulcan calligraphy? That’s dedication bordering on art. The sheer effort to merge ancient Mesopotamian grievances with the fictional logic of Vulcan is both absurd and brilliant.
It’s a testament to human creativity—taking something mundane, like bad copper, and turning it into a tapestry of alien linguistics. Completely unnecessary? Yes. But that’s what makes it glorious.
This isn’t just a hobby; it’s a rebellion against utility. A middle finger to the idea that everything must have purpose. Sometimes, things exist simply because someone cared enough to make them real. And honestly, we need more of this kind of madness in the world. l
I never understood why people make comments like “wow, you have too much time on your hands,” as if they themselves don’t spend significant time watching shows and movies or reading - or just sitting on their ass.
“You spent time doing something quirky that you found rewarding or interesting? Well I wish I had some time off from my 24/7 job in the diamond mines!”
Anyway, the caligraphy looks great!

These are the people who spend hours a day scrolling through Facebook on their iPads looking for anything to be outraged at.
I did suggest I have too much time on my hands as well before I said anything else…
They’re just enforcing stupid societal norms. People who do this are literally holding society back. And possibly envious.
I got things like “Why don’t you do something useful with your time for a change?” From my mom and friends because I was always on the computer teaching myself html at age 13, and finally uploading my very own website online over ftp dialup 28.8kbps. The year was 1996.
Finally I listened to them and stopped wasting my time. If I had kept digging I could have been a coder today instead of a laborer.
It’s… beautiful!
And yet I can’t help but think if you’re going to translate something into Vulcan calligraphy, why a very emotional complaint about shitty copper?
Vulcans didn’t always suppress their emotions.
I’m pretty sure they also didn’t write cuneiform complaint tablets, but that’s another issue.
As too is this gif choice!
