If three astronauts are flying over the Gobi desert in a canoe and they crash, then how many pancakes does it take to shingle a doghouse?

The answer is purple, because ice cream has no bones.

Therefore, my answer is 42.

Nice feet!

I'd add the feet holding a globe, but okay..

[–] over_clox@lemmy.world 3 points 6 months ago (5 children)

Obviously. But it looks like he's looking at the imaginary globe, looking like he just discovered New Zealand really exists.

If someone doesn't add a globe to this meme by tomorrow, I just might LOL!

Gets eaten by bear from spamming the word from god command

Turns out God was trying to use the word from god command to warn me about the bear

If I was lost, Windows. More likely to get back to civilization by finding well adjusted users. Instead of one old graybeard that hasn't seen other people for days.

(I use Arch, btw)

[–] aphlamingphoenix@lemm.ee 3 points 6 months ago

The graybeard would send you /home with a quick one liner.

[–] Hugh_Jeggs@lemm.ee 20 points 6 months ago

Windows, definitely

Then if it gets too hot I could open them

[–] I_Has_A_Hat@lemmy.world 18 points 6 months ago

Windows. It would show me the way out while blasting me with Ads.

Linux, however, would do nothing but scream about how I should use it, and how it really is the best, all while giving confusing, complicated, and unhelpful info about its numerous distros. Then, when I say that's all too much and I'm just going to go talk to Windows, it spits on me.

[–] BaroqueInMind@lemmy.one 9 points 6 months ago

iOS so I can use the premium metal build Apple likes to use and sharpen against a stone and use it to slit my own throat.

[–] son_named_bort@lemmy.world 8 points 6 months ago

Windows. That would mean there's a building there, which means I might be closer to getting out of the woods.

[–] oo1@kbin.social 7 points 6 months ago

Either way, assuming I can find a large stick or rock, I'd have enough patience to do a manual physical uninstall and get back to my solitude. So I think I'd be pretty ambivalent.
I guess smashing the shit out of windows would be slightly more satisfying - but that's not really the main reason I'm alone in the woods.

And yes - before you ask the obvious follow-up - I have smashed the shit out of a thinkpad in the past, they're not as tough as people say they are; it's mostly false bravado. Don't be afraid to stand up to the bully (ymmv).

[–] zakobjoa@lemmy.world 7 points 6 months ago

How do you know a person is running Arch?

[–] thanks_shakey_snake@lemmy.ca 7 points 6 months ago (1 children)

I don't understand the question.

Linux.

But I don't understand the question.

[–] blargerer@kbin.social 5 points 6 months ago

Its a meme reference to the Bear vs Man question going around.

please don't say windows ME please don't say windows ME

[–] lost_faith@lemmy.ca 3 points 6 months ago

I had a solid version of ME, so long as I didn't defrag... ever lol. 2k couldn't come fast enuf

[–] hal_5700X@sh.itjust.works 5 points 6 months ago

Windows. Because I don't hear how Systemd is the most evil thing in the history of computation...again.

Neither of these are physical entities, making the question pointless

[–] victorz@lemmy.world 2 points 6 months ago (1 children)

They are when you install them?

[–] stoy@lemmy.zip 2 points 6 months ago (1 children)

No, the only time software actually becomes physical is if you print the source code:

[–] victorz@lemmy.world 3 points 6 months ago* (last edited 6 months ago) (1 children)

But the software is stored on physical drives as ones and zeroes? What's the difference compared to printing it on paper? It's a different representation of it, on a different physical medium. But physical all the same.

What are the rules, here? What's your personal definition of physical that I don't know about?

[–] stoy@lemmy.zip 2 points 6 months ago (1 children)

The difference is that they are stored magneticly/electronicly on a drive, that means that it is just a change of property of a physical material that change, not any addition of material as ink or toner

[–] victorz@lemmy.world 4 points 6 months ago (2 children)

So there's an addition of charge? Physical addition/change!

I just feel like you're nitpicking this in absurdum. That's my honest take. ✋

On a computer? A disc? Or a physical embodiment?

[–] krowbear@lemmy.world 4 points 6 months ago

Windows. It's been too long since I used Linux so don't remember all the things anymore

[–] HubertManne@kbin.social 4 points 6 months ago

I guess linux as its more likely to be a phone.

[–] Naminreb@kbin.social 3 points 6 months ago

Linux.

Who knows how long that computer has been there, but if it’s been a while and still has something less than Windows 10, nothing will work.

[–] lvxferre@mander.xyz 2 points 6 months ago* (last edited 6 months ago)

Linux if I'm using the machine.

I can maintain Windows. But I don't remember how to use it for everyday tasks.

[–] NeoNachtwaechter@lemmy.world 2 points 6 months ago

Linux, very obviously.

It runs inside so many wildlife cameras.
