@Gargron you don't have to insist on that term, you just have to know that if it ever gets changed all of us will yell at you

even more than we usually do

@maple I'm going to be very generous and suggest that they were trying to make a distinction between rubber dome over membrane and buckling spring over membrane

Oh who am I kidding, they obviously didn't know shit

@maple I'm pretty sure that the Model M just grows in relation to how much desk space you have

@noelle I was expecting this to be a shitpost from the first few words but it checks out

A classic story that bears reposting:

"We're having a problem sending email out of the department."

"What's the problem?" I asked.

"We can't send mail more than 500 miles," the chairman explained.

I choked on my latte. "Come again?"

"We can't send mail farther than 500 miles from here," he repeated. "A little bit more, actually. Call it 520 miles. But no farther."

@Siphonay@octodon.social mostly I'm disappointed that the sides aren't chocolate bars despite really looking like they are

@noelle hey we don't... well not everything... eh, it's a fair cop

I love it when USAians say that English food sucks

Because then I can make them question everything they ever knew by pointing out that we were the ones that invented the apple pie

@hfrazey yep, 4 wild hedgehogs that we're pampering far too much with houses and lots of food and water

@hfrazey in this case, they sniff around the bowl as if to say "what's this crap? where's the good stuff gone?"

they are now quite unhappy that they're getting given the cheaper ones because we're out of the pricey stuff
