I BUILT A FLY A FULL BREWERY AND IT STARTED MAKING BEER
It starts with a fly dragging a pallet jack loaded with seven bags of milled malt into an industrial brewing system.
Then it gets to work.
It opens the boiler valves, starts the transfer pump, moves mash between three massive tanks and climbs the metal stairs carrying a 33 kg bag of Pilsner malt like this is just another day at the brewery.
The entire process is being controlled step by step.
The fly decides when to open the steam, when to transfer the mash, when to start cooling and when to move on to the next stage. Every action appears in the log while a neural network with 393 nodes and 472 connections keeps track of the decisions happening behind the scenes.
Then comes the part I really didn't expect to see.
The fly adds its own hops.
FLYHOPS goes into the kettle, the wort starts moving through the system and the little brewer goes back to work.
A few moments later, it opens the cooling water and finally hovers over the last tank to add FLYMENTIS yeast.

Three giant tanks. One very determined fly.
I think I accidentally gave an insect everything it needs to start its own brewery
26 km to Chernobyl and the road already feels like it’s watching you.
Fog, wet pines, that chimney sitting there like it never left. Someone in the car goes “what game is this from?” and the other person just says “Stalker.” Then, yeah. Horror.
Then the shot flips and it’s her behind the wheel. White knuckles. That face. Not “this is cool cinematic.” More like she already knows the Zone doesn’t care if you were only passing through.
Would not take that right turn.
