Earlier quoted context omitted.

People will also do all sorts of things for fun.

What percentage of these people do you think do this and then DON'T post an image / video of it somewhere to get views? I would guess it rounds down to 0%. It's pure attention seeking. And it also might be fun.

What, just because you haven't seen it? (But seriously, how would we know? You're talking about a group that, by definition, would leave us no evidence to discuss their existence)

Extreme coding, anyone?

Oh yeah, I actually do that. Coding while sitting on a high tree or on a steep rock, only reachable by climbing.

Why I do this?

Well, certainly not because of attention seeking, rather the opposite.

No one bothers my flow state there and the elements bring inspiration.

How is the iron powered when there are no electrical outlets at these places?

Smart contracts on the Blockchain

And a smart clothes iron with built in Wi-Fi and Bluetooth to control the temperature and steam setting with an Amazon Echo that hopefully you remembered to bring with you.

For those unfamiliar, irons were devices used to smooth clothes in historical times, when men's business casual at minimum required a dress shirt and collar.
