I'm right-handed when using one handed tools and "left-handed" when using two handed tools like axes and shovels. The hand closer to the tool bit (the left hand in my case) is only there to provide support and slide around as the other hand controls the orientation and motion of the tool.

I declare my way is truly right-handed while these right-hand-in-front-of-the-left-handers are just ambidextrous pretenders

Before pee, you HAVE to rub your hands. I don't have OCD, it's just a thing I have to do so you also have to as well.

Auto > Light/Dark mode

Smoking joints is now illegal. Everyone must use a battery-free vaporiser.

Car bad.

YYYY/MM/DD or riot. 24H time or public execution.

I use Arch btw

Pirate everything.

Pink lemonade is better than regular.

Ramen is made with the flavour packet first, then boiling the noodles in the already-made broth.

The confirm button on a controller goes on the right. Cancel is bottom. Nintendo layout supremacy, fuck you.

You will pet every dog you see without hesitation, even if they growl at you. The tax must be paid.

Trackpad > Mouse

Caffeine is now illegal. Force yourself to stay awake and make it everyone else's problem for enforcing stupid work hours.

I can get behind most of these, but:

Trackpad > Mouse

I think you have a typo, surely you meant "trackball > mouse". Obviouly trackpads are abomnations that have no place in polite company, so you couldn't have meant them.

Caffeine is now illegal. Force yourself to stay awake and make it everyone else's problem for enforcing stupid work hours.

You know not what you say, there are strict rules about not letting me interact with other humans before caffeine. That Geneva Convention has things to say about it.

All calculators are RPN.

Many of your major tech services are self-hosted.

Everything, but in too many small ways for me to list. You just keep going, and I'll let you know when you mess up.

[–] Twinklebreeze 4 points 2 days ago

I changed my mind actually. I'll just do it; it'll be easier for both of us.

Serving bacon with sweet things. No more bacon-honey-maple-cinnamon whatever. I have spoken.
