The static on old CRT TVs with rabbit ears was the cosmic microwave background. No one in the last 25 years has ever seen it.

Well, not really. The cosmic microwave background radiation was a tiny fraction of that noise. What everyone saw was mostly thermal noise generated by the amplifier circuit inside the TV.
Umm… I had a CRT until 2009 and even sold it to someone.
Was it just me or has anyone seen or make out patterns while staring at it? I sometimes found it amusing
Cosmic microwave? Is that what you are calling “ants in a snowstorm” these days?
“War of the Ants”, where I’m from (sweden).
Ant races
ok Sweden wins this one
Ask your friend which side is winning, say you’re rooting for the black ants, then turn off the TV and claim victory.
