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

[-] mifan@feddit.dk 54 points 2 years ago

Or you would have a firewire 🤷🏽‍♂️

[-] renormalizer@feddit.de 83 points 2 years ago

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

[-] xusontha@ls.buckodr.ink 22 points 2 years ago

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

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.

[-] SpaceNoodle@lemmy.world 37 points 2 years ago

Oh christ, DVI is old now.

[-] Ajen@sh.itjust.works 19 points 2 years ago

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

[-] rmuk@feddit.uk 8 points 2 years ago

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

[-] Rhaedas@kbin.social 27 points 2 years ago

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

[-] xusontha@ls.buckodr.ink 21 points 2 years ago

Shhhh it's just a different flavor of cereal

[-] ArbiterXero@lemmy.world 16 points 2 years ago

Mmmmmm fruity loops of wire

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@lemmy.world 13 points 2 years ago

Fair! Neat fact!

[-] Eufalconimorph@discuss.tchncs.de 9 points 2 years 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.

[-] captain_aggravated@sh.itjust.works 9 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

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

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

[-] rmuk@feddit.uk 9 points 2 years ago

You ever seen the microwaved tampon trick?

[-] xusontha@ls.buckodr.ink 9 points 2 years ago
[-] rmuk@feddit.uk 19 points 2 years ago

I may have oversold it, to be honest, which is fair given what we're talking about.

Soak a tampon in water and microwave it for a few seconds. It'll give off loads of whispy steam for a long time. Then, just pop it behind that lovely roast chicken (cooked yesterday) or warming bowl of macaroni soup (ice cold) to make it look piping hot for the photo shoot.

[-] Imgonnatrythis@sh.itjust.works 18 points 2 years ago

It really should go without saying, but please only do this with an unused tampon.

I remember being in like 4th grade and the teacher showing us a video about the tricks they use in advertising, how they carefully craft cheeseburgers, use spray deodorant on beverage glasses to make them look frosty. The thing that stuck in my mind was fake ice cream. Because ice cream would melt under the lights they actually use a substance similar to cookie dough, like shortening, flour, sugar etc. which is completely edible so you can film actors eating it, and I remember thinking "that doesn't sound half bad, actually."

[-] xusontha@ls.buckodr.ink 7 points 2 years ago

that's not oversold lol, thats interesting and cool (I think?)

[-] miss_brainfart@lemmy.ml 6 points 2 years ago

Liking photography as much as I do, I really should look into all these tricks, huh

[-] dawatt@lemmy.world 35 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

I think it is extremely controverserial.

[-] xusontha@ls.buckodr.ink 8 points 2 years ago

...I should've thought of that

The milk, the serial needs something to plug in

[-] xusontha@ls.buckodr.ink 8 points 2 years ago

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

[-] drew_belloc@programming.dev 11 points 2 years ago

It will never be too much milk

[-] xusontha@ls.buckodr.ink 9 points 2 years ago

This will be the result my friend:

Your house will overflow with milk!

[-] bjoern_tantau@swg-empire.de 22 points 2 years ago

Depends. Does the milk come from universal serial boobs?

[-] xusontha@ls.buckodr.ink 11 points 2 years ago
[-] GrammatonCleric@lemmy.world 20 points 2 years ago
[-] jayknight@lemmy.ml 14 points 2 years ago

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

[-] xusontha@ls.buckodr.ink 7 points 2 years ago

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

[-] DarkenLM@artemis.camp 18 points 2 years ago

Put them in whatever order you like.

The bowl goes last.

[-] xusontha@ls.buckodr.ink 5 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

...or does it?

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

[-] xusontha@ls.buckodr.ink 7 points 2 years ago

Good choice! I do the same

[-] sundrei@lemmy.sdf.org 11 points 2 years ago

RS-23ewwwww

[-] LastYearsPumpkin@feddit.ch 9 points 2 years ago
[-] xusontha@ls.buckodr.ink 6 points 2 years ago

Then it's a snack (I think?)

[-] troyunrau@lemmy.ca 7 points 2 years ago

What's the bitrate of the milk?

[-] eee@lemm.ee 7 points 2 years ago

Gotta take a waterfall approach
