no spoiler tags so it’s in the alt text of this picture of gromit
The “Gromit Theory” is very possible. The season 2 opening sequence is (possibly) confirmation.
3 44Can we make self censoring on BlueSky via alt text a thing. I love this.
1 15I'm not sure that's a great idea for the visually impaired people, alt text is for, as you're not describing the images AND not allowing them to opt out....
1 5To be clear, OP does accurately describe the images of Gromet before running off on a tangent. Also, as BlueSky is primarily text driven, the pre-warning in the post that there would alt text appropriation is warning enough IMO.
1 3If you are set up to see alt text you just get it, I believe. Not a clicking thing.
1We have ROT-13 for this :)

ROT13 decoder: Decrypt and convert ROT13 to text
ROT13 (rotate by 13 places) replaces a letter with the letter 13 letters after it in the alphabet. It has been described as the "Usenet equivalent printing an answer to a quiz upside down" as it provi...

There should be a spoiler feature in Bsky, putting a black box over selected text, which is revealed when you click it. Other sites have it.
2 3I agree. Maybe the one feature from Mastadon I'd like ported over.
1Absolutely agree. But Alt-text is not that. :)
Fair enough, but these are television series speculations.
1 1And? Blind people watch television.
1That is not where I meant that reply to go. I just meant the stakes are low. I'm not blind i use the hell out of audio descriptions (which are usually amazingly done).
1I share this theory! I’ve thought this the whole time.
6So, the ending the latest episode adds some credentials to my theory.
I don't think this is the case at all given the innies physical injuries occurring and carrying through and the fact O&D are very explicitly producing and shipping off physical objects
I think it's just a kind of retro-futurism thing which would explain the PCs and stuff. Your theory might explain why their actual job is so weird/nonspecific
Had the same thought myself but also clones. And while this may be just coincidence I think Ms. Huang may be a child clone version of Ms. Casey.
1 5This is my theory too!

The season two updated title sequence does hint at <redacted> please see alt text in Gromit image
2 3Severance 1x1 was titled "Good news about Hell"
I don't think it's outside the scope of series but I doubt this is the case for the main cast, maybe Irving in the past but that's a stretch, there's just not really anything pointing to it. Though there's probably other means of memory fuckery that could've been employed
OH man, like the second the first ep of season 2 ended I was wildly speculating about everyone and everything being secretly severed and double severed. That guy? Secretly severed. Her? No idea that she’s really severed. That potted plant? Fucking severed
1I am a speculation menace
I'd actually wondered about that.
Mix it with some concepts from dark matter and techno feudalism.
I’ve only watched a few minutes of the first episode what seems like ages ago and I won’t claim credit for this theory myself but let’s just say I assumed this would be a plot point.
