In Russia, a couple years ago, a dude was holding a banner on the street saying "хуйло" (huilo) and nothing else. The police arrested him and when he complained that he doesn't have any names on the banner the policeman responded with "it’s perfectly obvious to everyone who huilo is".

But these are all clearly right side up...

Is this an illusion post or a troll post? Genuine question.

It's not even subtle, House literally lives at 221B Baker Street.

This applies to pretty much all "Linux good, Win/MacOS bad" memes. I just assume that people either aren't really serious about them and it's just tongue in cheek, or they don't have any contact with regular people.

I used to work as a(n assistant to the) sysadmin and the things I got called over never stopped to amaze. For instance, there was a case when software was updated on the work machines and I got called because some lady couldn't use Adobe Acrobat. "It is asking me something, I don't know what". I come over and it's just a TOS Accept/Decline window.

Some people do not understand computers to an extent that they can lock up in a state of confusion when a button has been moved 100px in any direction from its usual position.

The light bird had it coming. I voted for dark bird because it won't eat MY babies.

"E Ink" is a company, producing displays with a very specific proprietary technology. I think you mean to say more "e-paper", which is a generic term for "paper-like" displays. And unfortunately, right now the only real competition is RLCD (reflective LCD), which is arguably not paper-like enough to qualify. Yes, it's reflective, but other than that, it's just a higher density Game Boy screen. Which is great and all, but it can't compete with E Ink in a lot of aspects. It doesn't have retention, you gotta power the screen, so no signage and stuff. It has LCD-grade bad viewing angles.

RLCDs are cool for certain uses though. For example, I sometimes choose to play on my AGS-001 over my Analogue Pocket if I'm outside in bright daylight.

He's not illiterate, he's just too cool to care about that nerd stuff.

At the risk of sounding pedantic (which I am), beaming up doesn't physically move you up, just molecularly deconstructs you on the spot.

Side note, do transporters purge poop when transporting? Cause why not, they filter stuff out anyway, might as well de-poop and de-pee.

I wanted to say "seed facial", but if you think about it, all facials are seed facials.

Guys, you gotta cut these relatable memes. I'm starting to think I have autism.
