Don't give them any ideas. We'll all be in matrix pods powering AI data centers.

Somehow, in the future, it will have people who will honestly belive in a meme like this, seen how the things are going...

There's people that believe the COVID vaccine was injecting 5g microwave chips into them.

Pretty sure there's people that believe this now.

Too bad I'm really bad at mental arithmetic

Which Neal Stephenson involved a DNA-based compute penal colony orgy? Hopefully that doesn't describe more than one.

Ohh dear.. My bitcoin miner has a cpu built in 1964. It's gonna take a terribly long, long time to find anything.. ;)

I was gonna say, jokes on those viruses. I'm not an Olympic athlete. They just infected the human equivalent of a 1995 Compaq Presario. Also, good luck even getting the pennies that actually get mined. I've got a 56k modem and a family that keeps forgetting not to use the phone when I'm on the internet.

LOL!

Yeah, for me it's a IBM Sysyem/360 - 8-bits all the way, my dudes!!!

Good luck!

Finally found a way to make people think I'm hot!

This is actually kind of a good analogy.

In what way? It's not even the infection that's rising the temperature, it's your body, trying to get rid of it.

Plus, if "working harder" meant getting a fever, like a CPU getting warmer with a power virus, a gym session would be a death sentence.

Right? I was just thinking that my immune system's graphics card does not work that way.

Probably need to download some more ram.

[–] Remember_the_tooth@lemmy.world 3 points 1 hour ago (2 children)

Well, thanks for that! Now I have even more virus!

Ooh, a win-win scenario, noice! 😉

This is what we should all be aiming for. The Mr. Burns effect, where there's so many different ailments present at once that nothing can actually do anything.

Go inject with dirty needles, drink stagnant water, lick the hands of every child you encounter. Only by filling yourself to the brim with germs can you achieve immortality.

There's no way this happened to days in a row. Deleting my post lol
