If thats actually from the smithsonian in Washington DC, its probably in the recently renovated american history museum. There is a section in the lower levels all about technology and products the changed regulations. So they have an old ipod and lawn darts… Its very odd seeing that stuff be called history.
This is an old pic from the Smithsonian Natural History museum. The geology wing, I think. It was supposed to be an example of gems refracting light or something.
On a side note, if you ever get the opportunity to go to a Smithsonian, fuckin do it. People, they had literal meteorites the size of sedans just sitting there with a sign on it encouraging you to touch it. I touched a fucking hunk of metal that had been careening through the void for a number of years my little monkey brain has trouble grappling with. Sorry. It left an impression. Go if you get the chance
Have you ever gotten one of these stuck around your weiner?
That was an expensive day.

It was a copy of The Sims: Hot Date.
Leisuresuit Larry magnum cum laude!!
There’s something written to it.
So, of course I went down a rabbit hole on this. So far I’m unsuccessful, but I did find out the Smithsonian Institute has a searchable database of all their junk, which is neat.
Anyone with Mastadon or Twitter wanna take a swing at getting their attention? The pic was taken August 31, 2019. Definitely the Natural History Museum in DC, pretty sure it was the geology wing? I’m gonna email them, see what I get.
Also, for posterity, I’m gonna say it’s either Doom or the White Album
Damn, good effort. Hopefully someone knows.
It’s the Baby Got Back CD single by Sir Mix-A-Lot.
I mean, when have you last seen someone use a CD? Exactly.
I often buy CDs from used media shops to rip the music in FLAC format to add to my digital collection!
That depends on if you work for the government
What is going on in the reflection? Is that thermostat headed to orbit?
Looks like the exhibit across is rocks. looks like quartz?
