Not OC
Don't do that! Milk is conductive. This could make you a serial killer!

Getting the order right is not an exact science. It's more of an UART.
I can't think of a pun good enough to respond with, good job

Iβm showing my age here, but thatβs likely dvi, and not serial.
9pin is much smaller and 25pin is significantly larger.
But despite my pedantic statement, the joke still stands. Well played.
Oh christ, DVI is old now.
We're pretty much at the point where 2.5" SSDs are old...
Does that mean my stash of IBM MicroDrives are finally going to be worth something?
Same here, although I thought VGA. Dealt with too many parallel cables in the past and that didn't look wide enough.
Shhhh it's just a different flavor of cereal
Mmmmmm fruity loops of wire
My favorite...

DVI-D uses TMDS, which is a serial protocol. So if you want to be really pedantic you could call it a serial port even though it's not RS232.
DVI-A also transmits metadata over a serial connection, but the video signal is parallel analog.
Fair! Neat fact!
Yeah it's clearly a D-Sub connector, I'll allow the meme, the joke's funny.
Looks a heck of a lot like the RS-485 serial cable I've got on my desk right now. Scale is hard to tell, not sure how big that bowl is.

Fun fact: That's not real milk. It's just Elmer's glue, they use it to stage the perfect shot.
Food marketing is fascinating
You ever seen the microwaved tampon trick?
...no?
I may have oversold it, to be honest, which is fair given what we're talking about.
Soak a tampon in water and microwave it for a few seconds. It'll give off loads of whispy steam for a long time. Then, just pop it behind that lovely roast chicken (cooked yesterday) or warming bowl of macaroni soup (ice cold) to make it look piping hot for the photo shoot.
It really should go without saying, but please only do this with an unused tampon.
I remember being in like 4th grade and the teacher showing us a video about the tricks they use in advertising, how they carefully craft cheeseburgers, use spray deodorant on beverage glasses to make them look frosty. The thing that stuck in my mind was fake ice cream. Because ice cream would melt under the lights they actually use a substance similar to cookie dough, like shortening, flour, sugar etc. which is completely edible so you can film actors eating it, and I remember thinking "that doesn't sound half bad, actually."

that's not oversold lol, thats interesting and cool (I think?)
Liking photography as much as I do, I really should look into all these tricks, huh
I think it is extremely controverserial.
...I should've thought of that

The milk, the serial needs something to plug in
True, but what if there isn't enough milk to plug into? Or what if you have too much milk?
It will never be too much milk
This will be the result my friend:
Your house will overflow with milk!
Depends. Does the milk come from universal serial boobs?
h u h
I prefer Parallel Puffs
I've upgraded all of my bowls to Universal Serial Bowls (the C connector is specifically for cereal).
It's up to you for your choice of connector, though it would be drier than usual
Put them in whatever order you like.
The bowl goes last.
I generally put the Serial in first, as its very reliable.
Good choice! I do the same
RS-23ewwwww
Then it's a snack (I think?)
Gotta take a waterfall approach
