The Black Box of Doom refers to both an actual box, which might contain something horribly lethal, and it's a metaphor for how social media can swallow you up. The reddit "hive mind" features prominently, where people can cooperate to solve mysteries.

There are a couple odd things about how I'm using it. Maybe not a surprise for makers, but it's very natural to start printing things that help print things. That is, tools for 3D printing. But it is amazing how many little things didn't seem to have a solution without something like this.
