The Oregon for anyone interested https://xkcd.com/356/

P.S. I had to look at someone stretching their butthole open with both hands for this, your welcome.

I google xkcd nerd sniper and went to images. The very first fucking option was the comic where the last panel was just a pic of someone stretching their asshole open.

Same with mechanical keyboard nerds but they also have an effect of throwing switches at you at high speeds.

I'll never understand the fixation with keyboards

It's like audiophilia but for fingers.

Hey the sounds play a big part too! It benefits 4 senses: Visual, Auditory, Sensory and Pride

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago

And of those, pride is the biggest. I'm really proud of my keyboards.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago

I didn't get it either but I got a mechanical keyboard and I can say typing all my papers feels nicer. It makes sense for people that type a lot.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

Me neither. Though I do enjoy my mechanical keyboard. Got a fairly cheap Logitech one, MX browns and white only backlighting. Pretty dope

I don't want to ask but ... what does "ricer" even mean?

[–] [email protected] 23 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Ricing is the name for extensively customizing your environment. Usually your desktop environment or your window manager or both.

Ricers are people who spend unreasonable amounts of time tweaking their OS to create something somewhat pretty but very often wildly impractical for any actual real world usage of a computer. Anime girls and drawings of japanese landscapes are usually involved.

> Me on my Windows XP machine with Uxpatcher, Stardock, WMP skins and various widgets

> Me when I discovered Linux and did the same with Compiz Config 🥲🤡

practically over-engineering for styling.

[–] [email protected] 22 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Originated in car culture to describe people who take Japanese economy cars and make them look like they're from The Fast And The Furious while doing nothing to improve actual performance.

RICE = Rotary Internal Combustion Engine

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago

synonym for theming, iirc

Ah yes, XCFE, my favorite DE

I wonder if he left it in intentionally so that he could do the same to people who get an itch reading typos (myself included), or it was an honest typo.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago

Dont you mean ED?

Are arch linux ricers worth 3 or 5 points?

Inb4 someone asks how to do this

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 year ago

It's pretty simple!

first you find a group of people you want to have run over by a lorry.

Second you print out an interesting puzzle retaltes to their field.

Third you wait until they cross a road and present the puzzle

Fourth, ???

Fifth Profit.
