На экране прокручивается статья о пулемёте Максима: сначала указано, что он состоит на вооружении с 1886 года, а затем длинный список войн и конфликтов, вплоть до российско-украинской войны и вторжения России в Украину. Под эпическую тему из «Звёздных войн» Джона Уильямса обычный старый пулемёт превращается в комически бессмертного ветерана, который будто бы участвовал во всех войнах подряд. Такой ролик отправляют как реакцию на чрезмерно долгую службу, неубиваемость или абсурдную универсальность чего-либо. EN: The screen scrolls through an article about the Maxim gun: it first says that the weapon has been in service since 1886, followed by a huge list of wars and conflicts extending to the Russo-Ukrainian War and the Russian invasion of Ukraine. Set to John Williams’s epic Star Wars theme, the ordinary old machine gun becomes a comically immortal veteran that seems to have fought in every war ever. People send this as a reaction to something with an absurdly long service life, indestructibility, or universal usefulness. The audio is John Williams & the London Symphony Orchestra performing “Main Title,” an orchestral film-score theme whose grand, heroic mood makes the escalating list and punchline funnier.
