This began as a web animation, not as a video upload. Originally published on offtopic.com.
Where it came fromWhat we know
The original upload no longer exists. It has been identified, and nothing that survives is both legitimate and playable — so this page is the record, and the video is gone.
The original was identified by research and is no longer online. What is shown here is a surviving copy somebody else published, which is why this record makes no claim to be the first upload.
