just absolutely packed to the brim with fun, inventive stories. takes inspiration from general science theory or fact and spins them into gold. sometimes it plays with the medium, sometimes it just presents a magical moment and moves on, sometimes there's a three chapter love story about an asexually reproducing amoeba. qfwfq is an iconic asshole and the perfect narrator. maybe a little jargony for its own good at some points, but i still love it.
