The amount of mental gymnastics to come up with (and justify) this is insane (sh.itjust.works)

D'oh, why can't I have no kids, and 3

I dunno, I don't think he meant "three."

The :3 emoticon sometimes means "a dog" (if the eyes are on top), and sometimes means "a guy wearing a chef's hat" (if the eyes are on the bottom).

So, time delta :3 could mean "the time you'd rather spend playing with a dog," or it could mean "the time it takes to make a nice meal." It's more than three either way. And not worth installing Windows when you could use that time petting a dog.

3 minutes. Clicking the ‘show more’ button before taking a screenshot was too hard for op apparently.

This pisses me off. If the text ends with "minutes", "minutes" is shorter than "show more" and thus the interface should have just shown the fucking remaining text instead.

decades wasted on windows

I'd say that's an undercount but 1995 seems a reasonable start date.
