PC LOAD LITTER

What thefuck does that mean?

It's a pun on PC LOAD LETTER, which is an old error message roughly meaning "load letter paper into the paper cartridge". The other person thought you replied to the other² person.

cat is the program that reads the contents of specific file

litter is the file

> means forward the output of the program to the file

/dev/lp0 is Line Printer 0 so just printer
