Every thousand years this metal sphere ten times the size of Jupiter floats just a few yards past the Earth. You climb on your roof and take a swipe at it with a single feather. Hit it once every thousand years til you've worn it down to the size of a pea.

Same thing but start with the biggest vim config you can find.

I have no idea where it started...I've been pasting those into my .vimrc for perhaps 20 years now, or more. I'm pretty sure I copied it from someone else.

Specifically, I can't tolerate the tab key actually putting a tab character in. And I like four spaces per tab.
