A picture of the cover of a book titled Hyperion by Dan Simmons, depicting a humanoid creature made of bladed sections overlooking a sea of sorts, where a large sailing vessal makes its way to shore.

*dusts off the Hermes Rocket*

Let's do this.
A photograph of the Hermes Rocket typewriter on tinsmith's bookshelf. The typewriter features seafoam green keys on a very light greenish-grey housing, and the Hermes brand badge. Not pictured; the lid, which has the former owner's name and telephone number scrawled on it in permanent marker. Former owner served in the US Army, had many typewriters from different eras in his footlocker, all functional, but it is not clear if he was in a clerical role during his service.

The video thumbnail did you dirty, tho ;)
A zoomed in screenshot of the video thumbnail that happened to land C's profile pic almost perfectly on a chicken body, but you know what, he looks so happy and that's what counts.

Found a box of these in the back of a storage closet at work. Fellow #floppydisk fans, I have you covered!

A photo of an old cardboard mailer sleeve for a 5.25" floppy disk. It is mostly white, with a green border and green text that warns usera "DO NOT FOLD OR BEND" with simple drawings on inserting the floppy into the sleeve. A photo of the other side of a cardboard mailer used to send 5.25" floppy disks via the mail (or post). This side features a green border and green text that adds the warning "AVOID EXPOSURE TO ELECTRIC MOTORS AND OTHER MAGNETIC FIELDS" with some space for the address.
