Some of the stuff on 4chan is pure gold.

[–] [email protected] 46 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (1 children)

Unfortunately "some" is the operative word there lol

[–] [email protected] 58 points 1 year ago (1 children)

That's why I get my 4chan here.

[–] [email protected] 21 points 1 year ago

That was the beauty of Reddit. I could avoid all the sites like 4chan, Twitter, Tumblr, Tic Tok, Facebook, etc., and just get the best of everything from Reddit.

Now I get the best of Reddit on Lemmy instead.

Like, who's coming up with Scientist Salarian parodies for the Russian offensive? Crazy people and geniuses, often of a completely separated camp.

I get so many "damn I'm getting older" moments that it's good to realize I'm too YOUNG for something this time.

They're actually parodying the song from the end of season 3 of Reboot.

Have you seen what geniuses do when they not doing shit like discovering AC electricity? In that case, he dated a pigeon. There is not even a fine line between crazy and genius, it's merely that genius is just another flavor of crazy.

I’d just like to interject for a moment. What you’re refering to as Linux, is in fact, GNU/LInux, or as I’ve recently taken to calling it, GNU plus Linux. Linux is not an operating system unto itself, but rather another free component of a fully functioning GNU system made useful by the GNU corelibs, shell utilities and vital system components comprising a full OS as defined by POSIX.

Many computer users run a modified version of the GNU system every day, without realizing it. Through a peculiar turn of events, the version of GNU which is widely used today is often called “Linux”, and many of its users are not aware that it is basically the GNU system, developed by the GNU Project.

There really is a Linux, and these people are using it, but it is just a part of the system they use. Linux is the kernel: the program in the system that allocates the machine’s resources to the other programs that you run. The kernel is an essential part of an operating system, but useless by itself; it can only function in the context of a complete operating system. Linux is normally used in combination with the GNU operating system: the whole system is basically GNU with Linux added, or GNU/Linux. All the so-called “Linux” distributions are really distributions of GNU/Linux.

“I use Linux as my operating system,” I state proudly to the unkempt, bearded man. He swivels around in his desk chair with a devilish gleam in his eyes, ready to mansplain with extreme precision. “Actually”, he says with a grin, "Linux is just the kernel. You use GNU+Linux!’ I don’t miss a beat and reply with a smirk, “I use Alpine, a distro that doesn’t include the GNU coreutils, or any other GNU code. It’s Linux, but it’s not GNU+Linux.” The smile quickly drops from the man’s face. His body begins convulsing and he foams at the mouth and drops to the floor with a sickly thud. As he writhes around he screams “I-IT WAS COMPILED WITH GCC! THAT MEANS IT’S STILL GNU!” Coolly, I reply “If windows was compiled with gcc, would that make it GNU?” I interrupt his response with “-and work is being made on the kernel to make it more compiler-agnostic. Even you were correct, you wont be for long.” With a sickly wheeze, the last of the man’s life is ejected from his body. He lies on the floor, cold and limp. I’ve womansplained him to death.

That's fantastic! Even fits perfectly with the tune, I sang along.

That would be Tom Lehrer's Elements song.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

The actual song starts around 2:44 in the above video.
