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

    Learning from the mistakes of others saves you from having to enroll in some of the courses yourself.

    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.

    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.

    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.
