    Rare esoteric wisdom that can only be gained by fucking around and finding out

    AKA my 20s. I fucked around a lot but I also learned from every “finding out”.

    Happy cake day!

        Truly, thanks for being one of the people keeping lemmy alive - im a bit of a lurker, mostly upvoting and curating - occasionally commenting and adding in my own way - but i probably wouldnt still be here if it wasnt for all your memes bringing some levity to all the serious news and discussion

        Thank you Picard Maneuver!

          You’re very welcome, and I’m happy to do it. I want to see federated social media succeed as a viable alternative to the corporate sites, and I figured this would be my way to contribute. I can’t believe it’s already been 3 years.

    You never graduate from the School of Learning Things the Hard Way, you just keep taking classes.

        Should have listened to all the things I was told

        But I was young and too proud at the time

        Now I look at myself to find

        I learn the hard way every time

    This how I discovered the cursed C syntax

    0[arr] fetches the head of an array. i[arr] gets the ith element.

    C is arithmetic all the way down.

    If you’re cooking with peppers remember to wash your hands BEFORE you touch your junk.

    Or, I am both proud and ashamed to say, you can douse that fire with heavy cream.

          If your sous chef has been cooking with peppers, make sure he washes his hands before touching your junk. Got it.

    I feel like a lot of people are fucking around but too stupid or indoctrinated to actually find out. As in, the effects are upon them but they fail to notice it’s the result of their own fucking around.

    This a Blender meme, due to The Cube.

    Where you know exactly what you want to do, but have no idea how start googling for it.

    If you hear the bombs falling, then you are safe.

        Dont know if this is real or not cause it’s some 40s knowledge from some family members and luckily, i have never been in any bombings myself. A bomb falling makes a sound when it breaks the sound barrier. If you are directly beneath it, you get the bomb experience before its sound… that is what they told me at least.

    Then you get to either watch as others do the same shit with potentially even worse results or become known as the buzzkill who wont let anyone have any fun
