Ooohhh, so that's what "vibe coding" is.

[–] truthfultemporarily@feddit.org 31 points 1 month ago

Yeah you use buttplug.io and hook it up to your CI/CD pipeline.

[–] Sunsofold@lemmings.world 55 points 1 month ago (3 children)

Wait, why?

Don't you get it? The lack of body hair allows for more efficient air/skin contact to keep you cool. It also reduces itchiness from the socks, which in turn, compress the legs and focus oxygenated blood flow on the brain and vital organs, promoting better code, like a fighter pilot's compression suit. And all of that is necessary to help counter the cognitive losses incurred by the continuous arousal of wearing the buttplug.

Couldn't you just not wear the buttplug?

Not...? I don't understand. What do you mean?

To be fair, I have seen people with ADHD claim, Wearing a butt plug while doing mundane tasks somehow helps. I’m convinced they’re all trolls or in the pocket of big butt plug.

Ah, good old Santa Claus. Also known as Kabouter Buttplug (Buttplug Gnome) for mysterious reasons.

[–] Akasazh@lemmy.world 3 points 1 month ago

Yeah how did they come up with that name?

[–] Valmond@lemmy.world 3 points 1 month ago

This must be scientifically tested!

[–] zarkanian@sh.itjust.works 2 points 1 month ago (1 children)

in the pocket of big butt plug.

That isn't a pocket

[–] CPMSP@midwest.social 1 points 1 month ago

Prison pocket.

[–] lessthanluigi@lemmy.sdf.org 1 points 1 month ago

Another reason to get a butt plug

to be fair i feel like cooling should be on the head and torso instead of the feet, seems more effective (and necessary) that way

[–] ZILtoid1991@lemmy.world 2 points 1 month ago

I'm autistic and way too much into anal, it feels stimmy (in a sexy way), although I'm not into the tight high socks. Body hair only works somewhat as a swamp cooler, which is dependent on sweat and external wetness with the former barely working, so even if I'm a cis men, I would rather not have this much hair on me (sensory nightmare, clothes pull it out from my skin, etc.).

And here I am trying to maintain a BAC in the 0.129-0.138% range like a chump.

Respect the Ballmer curve...

[–] xxce2AAb 28 points 1 month ago (2 children)

I usually hit the bottle, but I'm not about to criticize whatever works for you. If rubber duck debugging has been scientifically proven to work, I don't see any valid argument against coding socks or smooth legs. Besides, those two things go together like insurance companies and arson or AI server farms and power supply cable cutting.

A match made in heaven, in other words.

Nonsense, goatse has been a beloved activity for the whole family for decades. Gather the kids and grandparents together for your first viewing.

Enhance your calm Satan.

I've googled it a few times in my life and honestly have failed to find it. I feel like it's been scrubbed from the internet, but that simply cannot be true. I refuse to have seen all of those fucking shock sites and still be left with a white whale. I need goatse.

[–] Katzimir@lemmy.dbzer0.com 3 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago) (1 children)

Soooo... you sure? if you wish to find it, just find an archive.org ed copy of goatse.cx butt seriosly. You should reconsider.

[–] rayquetzalcoatl@lemmy.world 3 points 1 month ago

Good fucking lord. I'll say one thing, I didn't realise just what an air of determination that picture gave off. He is really pulling that thing apart, isn't he?

[–] IsoKiero@sopuli.xyz 2 points 1 month ago (1 children)

I need goatse.

It's in wayback machine under original URL. Just scroll to oldest copy of the site.

[–] rayquetzalcoatl@lemmy.world 1 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Haha yeah found it, definitely got an eyeful.

[–] Valmond@lemmy.world 1 points 1 month ago (1 children)

So what is it? I'm not gonna look it up 😱

[–] rayquetzalcoatl@lemmy.world 1 points 1 month ago (1 children)

It's not that bad! It's just fleshy. You'll be fine, just maybe not when you're eating... Especially not any kind of red jelly. 😂

[–] Valmond@lemmy.world 1 points 1 month ago

Hah cheated you by checking Wikipedia:

goatse.cx, often referred to simply as "Goatse", was originally an Internet shock site. Its front page featured a picture, entitled hello.jpg, showing a naked man widely stretching his anus with both hands

[–] ZILtoid1991@lemmy.world 1 points 1 month ago (1 children)

It's just not for you. For me, who is into the more extreme anal stuff, it's just normal. Please learn that not everything is made for you!

[–] tomcatt360@lemmy.zip 1 points 1 month ago

Whether it's for me or not, the people still need to be warned. Thank you for your input

[–] shiroininja@lemmy.world 21 points 1 month ago (2 children)

It vibrates when you have a bug

[–] Valmond@lemmy.world 12 points 1 month ago

Tries to compile windows, dies of sexual exhaustion.

[–] lessthanluigi@lemmy.sdf.org 12 points 1 month ago

Or when cargo-mommy decides you have been a good programmer and needs to give you a reward

[–] Panties@lemmy.ca 16 points 1 month ago (1 children)

I don't understand this on so many levels...

[–] markovs_gun@lemmy.world 40 points 1 month ago

It started as a joke about trans/cross dressing coders claiming that their feminine knee high socks were "programming socks" to assist in coding when found by roommates and then somehow it became the idea that all of this stuff was necessary for programming

[–] ZILtoid1991@lemmy.world 9 points 1 month ago

So that's why a lot of genAI company logo looks like buttholes...

[–] SugarCatDestroyer@lemmy.world 9 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago) (1 children)

Yeah, sure, but what about the guy who sits around in his underwear and shirt, sometimes without, wearing glasses, drinking tea or even water because he prefers not to drink soda or energy drinks, and spends his days programming, looking like some kind of scruffy maniac? Just like a character from South Park.

This is a real man.

[–] Boakes@lemmy.world 6 points 1 month ago

Alright now let’s all be careful about who we’re describing. I just haven’t gotten a haircut in a while…

[–] fibojoly@sh.itjust.works 3 points 1 month ago

Ugh, sounds like a Monday morning :(

[–] goatinspace@feddit.org 3 points 1 month ago

That's how kde, mozilla, gnome, librewolf, matrix, etc devs are working and proud of it.
