Perhaps some of you will remember when there was a site about ten years ago called Smash Our Stuff (originally Smash My iPod), who would buy a brand new Apple device on release day and then destroy it in front of the line of people who are still waiting to buy one. They did this for a few different models of iPod and the original iPhone. The site doesn't exist anymore, but last Wednesday a different group took it to the next level.

They attached a Nintendo Switch to a drone, flew it up to a thousand feet, and then dropped it. And the thing (at least the main console and one of the Joycons) worked afterward!

There is an online meme called Nintendium that comes to mind. Remember that Gameboy that went through the Gulf War and still works?
