:q!

The first vim command anybody should memorize. Quit without saving.

I want something that’s basically like Windows 98.

Linux Mint (Cinnamon edition) and Kubuntu are, in my opinion, the two most windows-looking distros out of the box. They use the Cinnamon and KDE desktop environment respectively, you can do a little googling to see if those look like you expect your desktop to work.

Does everyone just always know what they’re doing at all times?

Fuck no, lol. I’ve done more stupid shit on Linux than windows would ever let me get away with. But Linux people tend to be a little more “tinkerers” than other computer users. Not everyone by any means, it’s really more of the other way around: if you want to tinker with your computer, Linux gives the most freedom to do so. And when you tinker enough and make enough mistakes learning experiences, you tend to pick up some knowledge along the journey.

But a lot of the modern distros are very plug-and-play, to where it’s not necessary to be a tinkerer to get going on Linux anymore.

Hmm, I think you’re right about sterilization vs gunk removal. Got those most up.

A note on alcohol as a cleaner:

Alcohol is actually a more potent solvent when in solution with water. 70% isopropyl alcohol is so prevalent because it’s actually more effective than higher concentrations.

The root of the thing is that Islamic teachings require practitioners to dress modestly.

Interpretations of this range from “cover your sex bits” to “don’t show an inch of skin to anybody except your husband”.

“Push here to open” on Mac and cheese boxes. I swear they don’t even bother perforating the boxes anymore.

Spherical isosceles triangle, in this particular example.

The lore is that the saarlac actually keeps you alive while digesting you. ~~Like, it puts roots in that act as life support so it has a constant source of protein or whatever. ~~ eh, that last but might not be accurate but there is some kind of enzyme in their stomach that keeps you alive? Whatever.

Residents of the suburbs be like:

Terminator 2 is in a weird spot since it’s a sequel to an 80s movie but is itself a 90s movie. But I’d nominate it for this award.

“Pele who can’t defend themselves physically”

Like Elon, who pulled out of a fight he tried to start with Zuck because he’d get his ass kicked?

“You guys are freaked out because I’m moving quickly and you don’t have visibility into my own internal process, that’s all.”

Uh, yeah?! Maybe add on “and you refuse to see why that’s a problem”

Alaska, Canada, Russia, a few on the -stans.

This is the longest straight-line all-water route on earth.

The short answer: fungus and algae work together and create a multi-organism structure.

The medium answer: [this meme]

The long answer: [years of graduate school]

I mean yeah, that’s funny, but I just like high quality pixel art and 2000 was the last generation before they ditched that (or I guess, the pixels got too small to see)

I prefer 2000, myself

Toilets with threatening auras, you say?

Is here a joke here? All I see is truth.

Alas, still depressed

It’s not that an individual pig will revert to a wild hog, but the genes we selected for in domesticated pigs are so recessive, that it only takes about 3 generations to get from domesticated to wild hog. And considering their gestational period is around 4 months, and it only takes about 6 months for them to be fully grown… 3 generations can happen pretty quickly.
