Don't do that! Milk is conductive. This could make you a serial killer!

[–] [email protected] 50 points 9 months ago

Or you would have a firewire πŸ€·πŸ½β€β™‚οΈ

Getting the order right is not an exact science. It's more of an UART.

I can't think of a pun good enough to respond with, good job

[–] [email protected] 5 points 9 months ago* (last edited 9 months ago)

You people need to stop bit with the puns.

I’m showing my age here, but that’s likely dvi, and not serial.

9pin is much smaller and 25pin is significantly larger.

But despite my pedantic statement, the joke still stands. Well played.

Oh christ, DVI is old now.

[–] [email protected] 19 points 9 months ago (1 children)

We're pretty much at the point where 2.5" SSDs are old...

Does that mean my stash of IBM MicroDrives are finally going to be worth something?

[–] [email protected] 27 points 9 months ago

Same here, although I thought VGA. Dealt with too many parallel cables in the past and that didn't look wide enough.

[–] [email protected] 20 points 9 months ago (2 children)

Shhhh it's just a different flavor of cereal

[–] ArbiterXero 16 points 9 months ago (1 children)

Mmmmmm fruity loops of wire

[–] [email protected] 5 points 9 months ago

My favorite...

[–] MrBakedBeansOnToast 4 points 9 months ago

Oh god, I needed to read this comment to actually understand the joke of the post.

DVI-D uses TMDS, which is a serial protocol. So if you want to be really pedantic you could call it a serial port even though it's not RS232.

DVI-A also transmits metadata over a serial connection, but the video signal is parallel analog.

[–] ArbiterXero 12 points 9 months ago

Fair! Neat fact!

[–] [email protected] 9 points 9 months ago* (last edited 9 months ago)

Yeah it's clearly a D-Sub connector, I'll allow the meme, the joke's funny.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 9 months ago

Looks a heck of a lot like the RS-485 serial cable I've got on my desk right now. Scale is hard to tell, not sure how big that bowl is.

Fun fact: That's not real milk. It's just Elmer's glue, they use it to stage the perfect shot.

Food marketing is fascinating

I think it is extremely controverserial.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 9 months ago

...I should've thought of that

The milk, the serial needs something to plug in

[–] [email protected] 8 points 9 months ago (1 children)

True, but what if there isn't enough milk to plug into? Or what if you have too much milk?

[–] [email protected] 11 points 9 months ago (1 children)

It will never be too much milk

[–] [email protected] 9 points 9 months ago (1 children)

This will be the result my friend:

Your house will overflow with milk!

[–] [email protected] 9 points 9 months ago (1 children)
[–] [email protected] 8 points 9 months ago

You seem to really like milk

[–] GrammatonCleric 22 points 9 months ago (2 children)
[–] [email protected] 14 points 9 months ago

I've upgraded all of my bowls to Universal Serial Bowls (the C connector is specifically for cereal).

[–] [email protected] 7 points 9 months ago

It's up to you for your choice of connector, though it would be drier than usual

[–] [email protected] 20 points 9 months ago (1 children)

Depends. Does the milk come from universal serial boobs?

[–] [email protected] 11 points 9 months ago
[–] [email protected] 17 points 9 months ago (1 children)

Put them in whatever order you like.

The bowl goes last.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 9 months ago* (last edited 9 months ago) (2 children)

...or does it?

Veritasium music starts playing

[–] [email protected] 2 points 9 months ago

Yes it does, and I will die fighting on this hill.

I generally put the Serial in first, as its very reliable.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 9 months ago

Good choice! I do the same

[–] [email protected] 11 points 9 months ago

RS-23ewwwww

[–] [email protected] 9 points 9 months ago (1 children)
[–] [email protected] 6 points 9 months ago

Then it's a snack (I think?)

[–] [email protected] 7 points 9 months ago (1 children)

What's the bitrate of the milk?

[–] [email protected] 7 points 9 months ago

Gotta take a waterfall approach

[–] [email protected] 3 points 9 months ago (1 children)

Excuse me but I'm married and feed both of us - I do it in parallel.
