Kathmandu, April 1, 2025 — In a groundbreaking announcement, Nepal’s Ministry of Technology shocked the world by unveiling the “Yeti-9000,” a quantum computer allegedly powered by Himalayan snow and rhythmic chants from Sherpa monks. According to lead developer Dr. Pemba Sherpa, the machine harnesses the “mystical energy” of the elusive Yeti, a creature long rumored to roam the mountains, to achieve unprecedented processing speeds.
“We’ve cracked the code,” Dr. Sherpa boasted at a press conference held atop Mount Makalu. “Silicon chips are outdated. Frozen yeti footprints and high-altitude vibes are the future of computing.” The system reportedly runs on a custom OS called “SnowOS,” which requires operators to input commands by yodeling into a microphone carved from yak bone.
Early tests, conducted in a secret lab beneath Pashupatinath Temple, claim the Yeti-9000 solved a 1,024-bit encryption puzzle in under three seconds—faster than any existing supercomputer. IT experts worldwide expressed skepticism, with one Silicon Valley engineer quipping, “I’ll believe it when I see a Yeti debug the code.”
Nepal plans to export the technology globally, offering “Yeti-as-a-Service” subscriptions starting at $99/month. However, critics warn of potential glitches, citing rumors that the system crashes if the snow melts or if the monks miss a beat.
Happy April Fool 😉
