dank memes

Rules:

  1. All posts must be memes and follow a general meme setup.

  2. No unedited webcomics.

  3. Someone saying something funny or cringe on twitter/tumblr/reddit/etc. is not a meme. Post that stuff in !the_dunk_tank@www.hexbear.net, it's a great comm.

  4. Va*sh posting is haram and will be removed.

  5. Follow the code of conduct.

  6. Tag OC at the end of your title and we'll probably pin it for a while if we see it.

  7. Recent reposts might be removed.

  8. Tagging OC with the hexbear watermark is praxis.

  9. No anti-natalism memes. See: Eco-fascism Primer

Look I just found some instructions on github and been copypasting shit and seeing what works.

[–] Doubledee@hexbear.net 19 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Are cissies "work/government issue" or "copied a friend's"?

[–] EmmaGoldman@hexbear.net 26 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I think that would be factory default.

[–] Rx_Hawk@hexbear.net 10 points 1 year ago

Nah malware

[–] wtypstanaccount04@hexbear.net 21 points 1 year ago

Honestly "copied a friend's" is more accurate to how genders are socialized

[–] AntiOutsideAktion@hexbear.net 19 points 1 year ago

Dynamically assigned on boot

[–] davel@hexbear.net 17 points 1 year ago

No user serviceable parts

[–] dannoffs@hexbear.net 16 points 1 year ago

Bloat ware for me as well. But like the kind of uninstallable bloatware that's always there but you never use it.

[–] the_itsb@hexbear.net 16 points 1 year ago

I used to think it was factory default, but I've been wondering if it is perhaps actually malware.

To be continued!

DIY contraption assembled in garage

copied a legal binary and patched it to bypass DRM

I tried to download/pirate a bear. Next thing I know there's something about wrong boot partition and recovery mode shenanigans. I get tired and go to bed, fire up the gender machine the next morning to see if I can fix it, sip some coffee, little WD-40 on some squeaky parts, normal gender stuff. Suddenly, gay.

I just kept Googling more and more obscure questions about Microsoft Excel, and copy-pasting code snippets from Quora posts, and here we are.

Every time I run ps with the G option (gender) to see which one is running on my system this happens:

Bad system call (core dumped)

What does this mean?

[–] Mindfury@hexbear.net 12 points 1 year ago (1 children)

"Found it on a random disk" surely covers stealing a random unplugged and unlabelled usb stick at the library

[–] corgiwithalaptop@hexbear.net 10 points 1 year ago

I would certainly say so

[–] Zuzak@hexbear.net 10 points 1 year ago

Malware that I hacked/repurposed

[–] EmmaGoldman@hexbear.net 9 points 1 year ago

I got data corruption.

[–] Findom_DeLuise@hexbear.net 9 points 1 year ago

Got it with a Fallout: New Vegas mod pack

[–] RedQuestionAsker2@hexbear.net 9 points 1 year ago

Data corruption, so I'm writing my own

Government issued

[–] Infamousblt@hexbear.net 7 points 1 year ago

I pirated mine even though I already owned a copy because I wanted the DRM free version

[–] EelBolshevikism@hexbear.net 7 points 1 year ago

Definitely pirated it

Disabled or deleted original because I mistakenly thought it was bloat/malware, so copied off of friends for a while. But that hasn't worked out well, so either need to write my own to try to figure out out to restore the original, whatever that might have been.

Factory default, yes I am boring deeper-sadness

[–] ProfessorOwl_PhD@hexbear.net 5 points 1 year ago

Well I've got like 10 I stole from the bins behind the local supermarket, a couple were gifted by people I know, and there's 1 I found on the pavement while on the way to work and was like "wow cool gender, mine now"

[–] volcel_olive_oil@hexbear.net 4 points 1 year ago

factory default like a Commodore 64 but also like a Commodore 64 I have to load it from a cassette tape any time I want to use it

[–] Dessa@hexbear.net 4 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

Please report to the Sexual Reassignment facility to receive your government-issued gender.

[–] SSJ2Marx@hexbear.net 4 points 1 year ago

I got my gender in the 90s when they were sending out millions of CDs of that shit.

[–] Moss@hexbear.net 3 points 1 year ago

Mine was never installed and I never figured out how to get it

[–] Tomorrow_Farewell@hexbear.net 2 points 1 year ago

Uninstalled bloat.

[–] Alisu@hexbear.net 2 points 1 year ago

I lost mine because of a ransomware

[–] kristina@hexbear.net 2 points 1 year ago

found it on a usb in a parking lot outside a government building putin-wink

[–] infuziSporg@hexbear.net 1 points 1 year ago

School-issued

[–] glans@hexbear.net 1 points 1 year ago

downloaded a car, found it in the glove compartment

[–] mayo_cider@hexbear.net 1 points 1 year ago

Data corruption, my gender is glitch art
