I think I vomit
Submarines run Linux because you can't open Windows under water.
A version that made me crack up was “astronauts use Linux because there’s no sound in space”
Is this a reference to those ancient times when it was hard to get sound working in Linux?
Yes
I'd like to petition that more businesses just use their letterboard signage for dumb dad jokes
The one near me that does this had this gem recently:
“I studied dad jokes in college - I majored in sighence”
Thats beautiful, thank you 🥹🥲
What kind of business is this?
It’s a gas station in Seattle.
I thought I recognised it, the one in Wallingford right?
Yeah. Looks like it.
Appreciative
This looks pretty residential. Are they zoned to appreciate?
I think they'd appreciate you giving them the benefit of doubt.
🤤
I suppose you can actually open windows in space. It just sucks. Or blows depending on perspective.
