What crazy pickup line worked on you? (or for you?)

  • I actually forgot to tell her my name when I asked for her number.
    I basically saved it and fled.

    • TIL ancient Romans used communal toilets—stone benches with keyhole-shaped holes—where people sat side by side without privacy, chatting while waste drained beneath them using flowing water.

  • She's smiling because of what the dog is doing with his tongue.

  • "Can I have your number? I'd understand if you give me a fake one"
    worked on my wife.

    • what's something from your job that could kill a horror movie monster/villain?

    Jump

  • The printing press. The monster's blood would be spread out over 70000 newspapers.

    • AI will replace programmers

    Jump

  • No, the customer wants a button that does a very specific thing.
    He can't tell you what that is, though. You're the expert!
    Also, can you put in more ads? And make it so the users can't close the tab until they bought something.

    • I tried Debian, I tried Fedora for my Lenovo Legion 5 Pro RTX3060: Framerate issues, stuttering in browsers, stuttering in simple 3D programs

  • Mark my words, X11 will still be around as an option 10 years from now.
    Linux Mint, probably the most popular distro, doesn't even support Wayland in its default configuration, yet.

  • Please advise, my landlord won't accept LinkedIn DMs as rent payment.

    • New Debian release on the horizon?

    Jump

  • Yeah, nowadays it's just every other year around June. Linux has become so boring ;)

    Jump

  • Afaik there's an original source that makes fun of a guy who hung out on the toilet all day, hoping to strike up a conversation that'll get him invited to dinner.
    That would imply it was a social thing.

    • This happened to me at least 3 times.

    Jump

  • No, that's the state of documentation on Linux.

    In OpenBSD, bad or lacking documentation is treated as a release-critical bug in the package.

    Jump

  • Current research doesn't support that.
    Most likely, the sponge sticks were used as a toilet brush, and pieces of cloth were used to wipe.

    • New Debian release on the horizon?

    Jump

  • Yeah, you don't want to have to explain that production went down cause you migrated it to the "Testing" branch.

  • This is a lot less impressive when you rotate the image to the right.

  • Dark matter is the computer running the simulation.
    They blacklisted all simulated forces from interacting with it, but one of the devs commented out gravitation for a test and forgot to put it back in.

    • The future of web development is AI. Get on or get left behind.

    Jump

  • This technology solves every development problem we have had. I can teach you how with my $5000 course.

    Yes, I would like to book the $5000 Silverlight course, please.

    • Germany's Merz falls short of majority in vote for chancellor

    Jump

  • The AfD could obliterate trust in him by voting for him, though.
    No one would believe he didn't make a deal with them, since he has leaned on them for a vote against the former government twice already, causing a huge scandal.

    • New Debian release on the horizon?

    Jump

  • I upgraded to Trixie last week.
    It already worked as flawlessly as I'd expect it when the release is official.
    It installed a bunch of new packages, removed the same number of obsolete ones, and upgraded everything else.
    On the next apt update, it asks to reformat sources.list and that's it.

    • Skype was shut down for good today

    Jump

  • Next iteration will be "Copilot for Teams".
    Whenever you get a message, Copilot will auto-send an answer unless you click "no" in a popup without window decorations, showing a timer.
    On Windows Pro, you can disable this with a registry key, but that resets with feature updates.
