So tempted to send this to my gf but I'm going to get roasted alive. 🏳️🌈
Consider it a moment for light hearted constructive criticism
I never thought to use my tongue to move the mouse
You forgot to add the hover text.
Centrally Located Input Tool
I am the C.L.I.T. Commander!
I MAKE THAT SHIT WORK!
You just point and clit.
I call it the clicktorus
So other than clit-mouse, what's the actual name of the nubbin thingy?
We always called them mouse nipples.
It's the click-toris.
Apparently wiki identifies it as a "pointing stick".

...also, I find it amusing that the article does use the term clitmouse.
Lenovo calls it the TrackPoint but most people call it the "nipple"
it's true, lesbian confirmed
The joke is that programmers actually have sex.
Some of them move to marketing and become sexual predators
“Who do all these cute thigh socks belong to?”
Nobody mentioned Archlinux
Unix socks are for more than just Arch
Now I want to know how different distros measure up in unix socks per 1000 users or something. I have a feeling that Debian has a higher total number, but NixOS a higher percentage, maybe?
I use both Debian and Arch. Now give me some good socks. Why are all of them so tight?
Polling time?!
I have never once understood these sock references and jokes. Never seen a programmer wearing thigh high socks. Never associated socks with specific programming languages.
What’s the punch that I’m missing here?
I think it went like this:
- Linux is highly customizable
- customizing or "ricing" your Linux machine became a hobby
- weebs got into the hobby, infesting the space with anime waifus and other degenerate cartoons
- some time during the weeb infestation, thigh high socks became a recurring theme
- gay/trans programmers sarcastically posted themselves in thigh high socks
- gay/trans programmers who didn't get the sarcasm unironically adopted thigh high socks
- Rust was invented
So you see, it's just another example of the kind of tragedies that can befall society when sarcasm isn't clearly labeled on the internet.
I loled at "Rust was invented" :)
Basically there is a stereotype that a lot of trans girls are programmers, and thigh high socks are a stereotype of trans girls along with blahaj ownership as well. There are a lot of chasers on 4chan and some trans folks as well. Therefore some anon shopped a picture of an Amazon listing to say "programming socks" to poke fun at the two stereotypes. People embraced it so much that the socks started showing up on Amazon when you search "programming socks". As for a specific programming language, I have seen Rust associated with trans women.
I for one don't think estrogen has made me better at coding at all. I tried to do Rustlings before and didn't have time to follow through with it, but maybe I should give it another go.
The point is that you're looking at the wrong programmers. You need to look at gay programmers, and your life will change for the better.
Damn, our hiring process was wrong all this time!
It's apparently a newly vocal (yet previously existing) trend amongst trans and drag programmers, particularly of the linux variety.
I know of one transwoman and she doesn't do this, though we do work for a "business formal" environment.
Seems to be a bigger thing amongst the younger college CS and fresh out of college folk.
I personally find it a bit funny, but I also have the small bit of me that worries about the social-political climate and how it might impact their careers.
Amongst engineers I've still found an uncomfortable amount of conservatives. So even if they don't support MAGA directly, I'd imagine they still carry a lot of that bias on "what is appropriate" or not.

TL;DR: It all seems to have started with a (possibly deliberately) misnamed pair of socks for sale on Amazon. They began showing up as suggestions when people searched for programming-related items.
…and other fairy tales you can tell yourself.
KinkPad FTW
AKA Twinkpad
I just got one for work, and I kept giggling to myself because of this
Here you go, source material!
So that's why the keyboards are waterproof too?!
I always wonder why that dot ass mouse hasn't been in any joypad. It's perfect for precise movements
It's the teverse of precision for me, slow slow medium weee speeed!
The closer I am to a target the more I will overshoot it
