A demo of Deldo, an Emacs package that lets Emacs hooks trigger vibration events on computer-controllable sex toys. It is an absurd teledildonics project that is half performance art.
HN mostly links it as a joke in Emacs threads, though one commenter calls the video the most interesting part of the Deldo project.

Honestly the video is the most interesting part: this video I can't quite figure out if it's performance art or enthusiasm. Probably a bit of both.
The Beats Whoopie Pill functions both as an bluetooth microphone input and speaker output device, with an ultra-low-frequency-high-power woofer. But it's a real pain in the ass to install and uninstall. Fortunately, Kyle Machulis has written an Emacs mode that supports it. this video [LINK]
Kyle Machulis sure loves Emacs. He wrote "Deldo - The Sex Toy and Teledildonics Mode for Emacs": [LINK] It's well worth freeze framing and reading the text in the list of all the different programming languages that Emacs supports. this video
I think this video this video Explains what languages correspond to which fetishes better. You can see the author is very subtle and only say it at 0:55 while discussing some languages. And plus it is Emacs! Edit: NSFW
