Did anyone check on the Meta engineers in the goon cave?

I would not be surprised if Meta advertised such a thing to prospective employees as a legitimate benefit of the job. A built-in VR goon cave with 30 TB of material available. Limit 1 hour per person, bookings required 6 months in advance. Sessions subject to monitoring for security and training purposes. May contain trace amounts of Zuck.

Wouldn’t need any material. Hooks up to your fb and you can pick which of your pals to hook up to the milking table.

Then you should be less credulous. What is told to prospective employees is effectively public information.

I can only imagine the smell of dried cum and server stacks in an enclosed space

Nah, Zuck doesn't let a drop go to waste.

The Matagoon cave sounds like something from the Unix Surrealism universe.

Mandatory gooning during the dailies at meta.

You're joking but it was 2400 movies over 7 years downloaded individually and not in bulk like they blatantly did with books. Apparently over 60% of adults admit to have viewed porn at work so yeah... someone should probably check on the engineers in the goon cave.
