I was watching a Factorio playthrough and thought that this part sounded a lot like a Korvo rant. Here's a link to the original stream: ua-cam.com/video/8hRJ-CcwvrI/v-deo.html (the clip starts about an hour in). I am not affiliated with the streamer or with solar opposites, but I'm fairly certain that this video constitutes fair use.

I wanted to share my area of research with a wide variety of math enthusiasts! Learn about chip-firing, sandpile groups, and the matrix-tree theorem in our quest to find a sandpile torsor! This is also my submission to the Summer of Math Exposition. Thanks Grant Sanderson for putting the event together and for all the inspiring work you do! Thanks also to Brilliant for sponsoring the contest. L...

    Nice video introducing a research topic to a wide audience! Coming from a physics background, would sandpile torsors have applications for optimization problems in systems with a conservation law? I noticed the number of chips in each graph is conserved.

    "It has more names than a sheet of paper with six names on it." 😀 (Well, now this video has more comments than a video with six comments.)

    Great video! Hope it gets more attention as people make their way through the 3B1B playlist.

    This is great! I was just starting to look into sandpiles on my own, and this gives me some intuition. Graph!
