Rule 1: All post titles except for meta posts should be just plain "hmmm" and nothing else, no emotes, no capitalisation, no extending it to "hmmmm" etc.
I will introduce more rules later and when I finish doing that I will make an announcement post about that.
For overall temporary guide check out the rules here: https://www.reddit.com/r/hmmm/wiki/rules/
I won't be moving all of them here but I will keep most of them.

Reminds me of when I made a pc as a media center for my roommates out of old spare pc parts and the box that their xbox360 came in.
Had to turn it on by using a paper clip to short the right two pins, lol.
That's the core principle of how switches work. You have done everything right.
Legit badass. "Hotwire the PC so we can watch a movie!"
You know, you could have run down to the electronics store and bought an actual button for those pins. Still, that sounds like a fun build.
I test-"built" my first gaming pc with all the parts laying on my bed.
The only computer parts store within cycling distance just put returned parts back on the shelf, so there was about an 80% chance at least one part you bought was dead out of the box.
Later I remembered that that's possible, and built a gaming rig with all parts mounted openly on the wall behind my desk.
