I had just started getting comfortable with either big (waluigi) or baby (toadette) in kart 8 . Guess I'm going back to medium.

I'm sorry, bud. But our expiration date is 2039.

The first universe simulator will be built, and it'll crash our current simulation due to recursion.

/s

[–] [email protected] 8 points 1 week ago

It will just run real slow ,just like a vm in a vm

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 week ago

Maddie, please fix.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 week ago (1 children)

How are we running in a simulation if the first simulator hasn't been built?

[–] [email protected] 12 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago)

It has been built, out in the real world, just not within this simulation.

Do you have any 32 bit computers anymore? Any running important stuff that needs good dates?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 6 days ago (1 children)

It's not about having accurate dates, it's about how unix time is used in programming. For some systems that reference unix time for essential calculations, that value rolling over and overflowing would cause catastrophic problems

[–] [email protected] 1 points 6 days ago

Sure but that means a workaround for machines affected, but not needing correct dates could be to set their clocks to midnight Jan 1 1970 and have another 65 years to sort it out

Anyway, the biggest problem will be embedded systems, including many household and business smart devices. Several I have are definitely 32 bit machines and might use 32 bit time precise to the second. Some I don't know. I have no idea what processor my TV uses

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Lots of embedded systems and infrastructure. But yeah, nothing important like your porn watching device.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 1 week ago (1 children)

And as long as they get updated, it'll be fine. Probably cheaper than Y2K. Note that medical and industrial control stuff generally doesn't care about the date

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 week ago

As long as they can be updated.

[–] [email protected] 13 points 1 week ago (1 children)

The year after epoch overflows?

On 32 bit computers

If isnt my 23rd favorite rapist and future source of heating, Vince McMahon

That’s why I was one of the few to downvote.

This guy is no Luigi Sr.

[–] [email protected] 34 points 1 week ago (1 children)

I was already almost always picking Luigi. Recent events have only solidified my choice.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 week ago

Original MarioKart DS, Luigi in his vacuum go-kart was peak performance

Nice meme, unfortunate image choice (isn't that the wrestling billionaire CEO?).

[–] [email protected] 16 points 1 week ago

Not anymore lol

[–] [email protected] 26 points 1 week ago (1 children)

The fact that he used Luigi as his Steam avatar makes it even better.

[–] [email protected] 11 points 6 days ago (1 children)

Man's got good taste in games

[–] [email protected] 6 points 6 days ago

Ftl is a based game to have in your most played list

Within a few months, Nintendo will have renamed him to Leroy or something, and put out a press release that it had been in the planning for a few years, to refresh the franchise for a new generation of players and so on, and obviously had nothing to do with Luigi having become a symbol of insurrection.

From a documentary about the undertaker. Vince McMahon had a sex toy named after him if I remember his sex trafficking lawsuit correctly.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 6 days ago

I'm going to guess it's from the recent documentary on Netflix, "Mr. McMahon"

sad wrestling man

A movie called The Sandlot. I grew up watching this. It was pretty popular at the time but it's considered old now. 😞

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 week ago (1 children)

I chose Luigi before it was cool! I drove as him in Double Dash!
