They're all jacked because back then the keyboards were so stiff and the patch cables were so heavy that joining a network and typing in your login credentials burned more calories than a half marathon
That’s your idea of jacked?
Seems pretty jacked to me.
I'm not sure I've ever seen a concave bicep before
It's because of the shutter speed.
Noodle arms, and I would know
😂
To be fair, the more built guys in the scene are what jacked looked like before it was common for normal people to just take steroids. They certainly aren't what someone that devoted enough time to computer hacking to be the best at it looked like. Since it already takes at least 4 hours a day to look like that without steroids.
It's actually pretty funny to see a real power lifter next to a youtube-popular muscle builder, 1/4 the size, but can lift 4x as much. Steroids just make muscles that get in the way of utility. Rather than properly useful muscles.
Are we looking at the same picture? Zero Cool has the best physique of the bunch and he's only "fit". None of their bodies require 4 hrs of gym time a day, unless they're trying to burn through like 4k calories using only a flat treadmill.
The Rock is a good example of how the image of a jacked male body has changed to the extreme. In his old movies he looks skinny compared to his monstrous body he has today. Even though back then people thought he was quite buff. Though even back then people also had an unrealistic ideal of the male physique. Like people were calling Brad Pitt unhealthily skinny when he had his Fight Club body.

No that's not true. You could train 3 times a week with 1 hour workouts and get a similar result as long as you're consistent. 4 hours at the gym is too much time unless you take excessive rest periods and/or uses it as a social arena.

The strongest powerlifters are huge, and specify in only 3 movements. Take a powerlifter out of those 3 specific movements and bodybuilders doesn't look all that bad.

Strongmen are even bigger than bodybuilders and there's no loss in "functional strength"/utility.
Not a single part of you comment is accurate, are you into fitness/strength sports?
I'm sorry do you not see the biceps on that girl in the blue shirt
nvm somebody else said it already
Oh man, starting to feel old, Angeline Jolie referred to as blue shirt girl...
Uh, Mr. The Plague, uh, something weird's happening on the fediverse.
Never fear
I his here
What is it, you hapless techno weenie
One of the very few movies from 1995 that still holds
It was so out of touch then that it hasn't gone out of date
Before one can hack the planet, one must learn how to hack 1507 computers.
Shoulda stopped at 1,337.
Some people just want to be one better. 170 times.
Mess with the best, die like the rest
Governments and corporations need people like you and me.
We are Samurai. The Keyboard Cowboys.
And all those other people who have no idea what's going on are the cattle...
Moooo.
Uhh excuse me, Mr. The Plague?
Hack the planet!
Ain't shit compared to crowdsrike
Dammit, I wanted to make that reference!
Damn. Zero Cool must be getting pretty close to retirement by now.
Nah crowd strike took his record, so now he's back at work
The Crown tanked hard in last 2 seasons. Too much focus on Diana.
You underestimate the British obsession with her.
There's a whole portion of the gutter press that continues to trade based on continuing reporting regarding Diana.
And crowd strike is all like "hold my beer, watch this"
Later on he started Overriding Crashes.
Is this the Matrix?
(sigh) WHY is my only copy of this movie on a VHS tape buried deep in the closet?
And I don't even have a working VCR at hand.
Hackers is so unapologetically queer. :3
I think that was just the 90s.
Ye, this is just what the 90's were like haha
Zero Cool might have been lying lol

Clearly he hacked the archive to cover his tracks.
Cyberpunk is a science-fiction sub-genre dealing with the integration of society and technology in dystopian settings. Often referred to as “low-life and high tech,” Cyberpunk stories deal with outsiders (punks) who fight against the oppressors in society (usually mega corporations that control everything) via technological means (cyber). If the punks aren’t actively fighting against a megacorp, they’re still dealing with living in a world completely dependent on high technology.
