Yeah, it sort of depends on the definition of the word file. “File” in the sense that it can be interacted with like a file versus “file” in the sense that it’s data on a disk. But then, if you’re really thinking about it, data on a disk isn’t a file, it’s data, and we can just interact with it like a file.

Nobody ignored it, we saw it, chuckled, and continued.
People do this shit all the time. In that infamous meme showing Ariana Grande getting darker skinned they did the same thing.
It makes more sense when you realize that it’s not that everything is files it’s that everything can be treated as a file. There are other APIs to interact with things, but everything can be interacted with as if it was a file. It doesn’t seem as bonkers like this.
Like a lot of memes, they exaggerate for humor. This meme was originally about math.

1·4 days agoThanks! It’s none of those, unfortunately. But you did get me closer. The character’s name is Martinez, I think. Based on one of these. It was very long, I remember that. Like you definitely had to scroll to see it all (and that was on a monitor too).

10·4 days agoDavid Hansson is absolutely a racist xenophobic piece of shit.
Yeah, that’s what a Nazi is. Acting like it’s not akin to Nazism is what’s actually pissing on the graves of people who died in the war. “Erm, actually someone is only a Nazi if they were a member of the National Socialist Party in Germany during WWII” is doing them a favor. Don’t let them hide.
Coming from someone who was raised in the southeast US, a huge part of the Lost Cause of the South movement wasn’t to erase what the Confederacy did, but to just paint them in a slightly more positive light. Rebranding, so to speak. Acting like some specific breed of ultranationalism isn’t technically “a Nazi” is just the same shit. In the minds of many people that live near me, there is absolutely nothing odd about celebrating under the world’s largest Confederate monument with fireworks. Despite the fact that it was finished in response to Brown v. Board of Education. Despite the fact that Stone Mountain has historically been and still is associated with the literal KKK. It’s the same shit.
Being pedantic about the terms helps them.
I’m not saying they didn’t have more air than chips then, I’m saying as a specific Internet meme it felt more like a 2017 thing.
I really like the pic you posted, wonder if I share it, would you mind? I know a couple people online who would like it, please reply.
I don’t specifically remember lays bags being empty a big joke in 2012, but I wouldn’t be surprised. I do remember the rest of these.

1·4 days agoThere’s probably a good inverse of this with the “nothing ever happens” meme now. A good duality of the two phrases.

How much experience do you have dating? You might need to pay her for the opportunity. Why should she date you instead of AI?
