        You have to open with “Chugga Chugga Choo Choo, we’re all gonna run a train on you!” Or it’s just a plain ole gangbang.

            No, you’re thinking of an orgy. Trains and gangbangs are both many-to-one, with the difference between them being that the former is sequential while the latter is simultaneous.

            unzip && strip && touch && finger && grep && mount && fsck && more && yes && fsck && fsck && umount && clean && sleep

            Edit: and yes, this joke is older than the gods as evidenced by the presence of finger, and I’m not sure clean is a thing in modern UN*X distros. Not in FreeBSD at any rate

      Getting (CONSENTUALLY) gangbanged by A LOT of guys, like enough that it starts to involve logistics planning to accommodate that many people being in a single space at one time.

    I hate how the US has sexualized every random word or sentence. I’m here telling my American friend how funny it is that German’s call smart phones a “handy”, like “haha silly random word that makes sense tho haha :)”, but no, ma American bud breaks down laughing imagining German’s giving each other hand jobs.

    Also the constant stopping during any sentence to go “oh, I know what YOU’RE thinking, get your mind out of the gutter!”. No, I don’t, and now I have the privilege of trying to remember every single word that wa just said and trying to see what inside there could possibly be a penis. This from of “joke” never fails to annoy the shit out of me. Like please can we just continue, or do you really have to recite this copy pasta while I stare like an absolute dunce at you?

      To be fair it’s rather odd they call it that. Germans seem rather strange with English in general.

      They go to public viewings to watch on their beamers. Even when no one has died. Lothar Matthäus claims “I’m a German record player”. They carry stuff around in their body bags and listen to music from “boxen”.
      Merkel even told the english press about her shitstorm. Every day there is a cringe moment.

    But wait. Do most actual trains use the linux kernel? I thought most ones were those traditional cargo ones, without any kind of computing system.

      In the US I can comfirm both GE (freight and passenger) and siemens passenger locomotives run Linux. Some passenger trainsets/cars still run embedded XP.

      Pretty much all locomotives running out there today have a plethora of computers for managing fuel economy, brakes, and positive train control (rules compliance). Fun fact: the union pacific’s 4104 ‘big boy’ steam engine was fitted with wabtec’s I-ETMS PTC which is powered by Linux so there’s literally a steam powered locomotive running Linux.
