Calls a static method on the OldMan class instead of the instance of oldMan that is actually dying.

WHY IS THE HEALTH INPUT PARAMETER A GODDAMN STRING?????????????

Why are you passing ‘%’ inside said goddamn string?!?! Not to mention the static reference instead of the actual instance.

Shame on you

Because the meme wasn't made by someone with a doctorate in CS or even a bachelor's.

sudo rm /heart/arteries/**/clot

[–] [email protected] 86 points 4 months ago (1 children)

Very important to not hit enter before clot.

I feel like if your body follows the Unix filesystem structure, you have a real problem.

[–] BleatingZombie 19 points 4 months ago (4 children)

Please forgive my ignorance. What does ** do?

[–] gaylord_fartmaster 23 points 4 months ago (2 children)

Acts as a wildcard for any directories that exist between arteries and clot.

It's a glob pattern (edit: tried to find a source that actually showed ** in use).

See that's the issue, he should have tried stopping the cardiac arrest process instead of just resetting the man to the beginning of it
