This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.

Anyone else remember an eighties or nineties cartoon like batman or something that had an episode with a flying hand like this? IIRC it looked like a mouse cursor... I can't remember anything else about it.

Holy shit yes and Batman had to tear it open and rip out wires to... take control of how it flew? Was it in a Minotaur maze maybe and they cheated by flying on the hand instead of going through the maze properly?

Edit: found it maybe

"I linked it to my palm top computer"

There's even a scene where they show how he pulled out two leads and presumably connected over I2C or UART. A lot of detail for a kids cartoon

"In the Arab world, you always eat with your right hand."

Not to shit on Bats, even Bats of the "Times" as he strikes me as a dude willing to learn and change his views.

That shit just slapped me in the face a little. It slightly shallow racism right? Crazy to think the things we heard and watched when we were kids.

it's based on islamic values.... https://islamqa.info/en/answers/82120/the-reason-why-the-right-hand-is-preferred-over-the-left

maybe culturally simplistic, but I dunno if I'd go as far as racism. it certainly paints with a wide brush....
