Yeah the grass to milk, meat and hide pipeline is a great one
Any chemistry we could perform to make it more viable? E.g. cook it with alcohol?

3·11 days agoBy modern standards, VHS has plenty of advantages too. A corrupt portion of a computer file often means it won’t play at all, while a tape will just play apart from that section. Audio and Video are always in sync with a tape - digital files are often out by up to a couple of seconds. A tape is often more robust than a hard disk or a DVD too.
The only downsides of VHS that immediately spring to mind are quality (not that that mattered at the time - it was and is still good enough) physical space (not that I ever ran out of room) and speed of skipping to particular times, and speed of backup. Oh… and lack of togglable subtitles too (not that digital always has those either)

It’s an unbroadcast outtake that someone in BBC production released on social media a few years back, and to everyone’s suprise went viral. There’s twitter/blusky bots dedicated to reposting it. Niche, but with a dedicated fanbase!
