A time traveller from the 2000's visits a modern software company
traveller: all your laptops have 32 GB of RAM in them?! Your devs must be doing some really heavy stuff, what the hell do they need all that memory for?
guide: web browsing.
traveller: ...you fukken wat mate? -

Work in an office with a load of obnoxious iPhone fanboys?
Stop their phones from working (while not affecting android phones) by flooding the place with helium!

- a microSD card weighs somewhere around 0.4g
- the highest capacity microSD that's easily available is 256GB
- a trebuchet can throw a 90kg projectile over 300m90kg worth of microSD cards is 225,000 of them
Therefore a trebuchet can throw 57.6PB of data over 300m
This would have the highest throughput of any telecommunications network ever created

Hey, code people, if you haven't noticed we've got a lot more disk space now than when we did in the 80's, we can fit big words like "accessibility" and "internationalisation" without having to truncate them
Would probably help with readability, or as you fuckers would probably put it "r9y"

Double checking John Oliver's math
Facebook one-day losses: $119 Billion
Global cheese market (projected for 2019): $118 BillionYep. Facebook did indeed lose, in one day, more value than the entire concept of cheese

@cypnk find some woods with a lake in them, get building a wooden underwater vehicle then run fibre to it
you'll get to cross off "small submarine", "cabin in the woods", and "hacker bunker" all at once

the Furry Corner discord is apparently on the first page of google results for "lesbian furry discord"
SEO: we have it, somehow, no idea how that happened but it's pretty neat

another good one I've heard:
He's making a list
He's checking it twice
He's gonna find out who's naughty or nice
