I GOT THAT VIRUS
(mander.xyz)
Too bad I'm really bad at mental arithmetic
Ohh dear.. My bitcoin miner has a cpu built in 1964. It's gonna take a terribly long, long time to find anything.. ;)
I was gonna say, jokes on those viruses. I'm not an Olympic athlete. They just infected the human equivalent of a 1995 Compaq Presario. Also, good luck even getting the pennies that actually get mined. I've got a 56k modem and a family that keeps forgetting not to use the phone when I'm on the internet.
LOL!
Yeah, for me it's a IBM System/360 - 8-bits all the way, my dudes!!!
Good luck!
Don't give them any ideas. We'll all be in matrix pods powering AI data centers.
Still using wasteful dinosaur proof of work? Then get ready for Proof-of-Illness! It's completely green and there's no limit to human suffering!
Still don't have any IllCoins? Pay a visit to your local Torment Nexus today!
Nah it's training large language models now.
Which Neal Stephenson involved a DNA-based compute penal colony orgy? Hopefully that doesn't describe more than one.
Was that in The Diamond Age?
Ah, yep. Someone seems to have the full PDF. Beginning of Part The Second is it, rather more disturbing thematically than I remembered.
Down the ocean tube IIRC. Been a while tho.
Have read several and its not ringing any bells, so... not snow crash, anathem, or seveneves? Sounds more like Peter Hamilton or Iain M Banks.
Finally found a way to make people think I'm hot!
Somehow, in the future, it will have people who will honestly belive in a meme like this, seen how the things are going...
There's people that believe the COVID vaccine was injecting 5g microwave chips into them.
Pretty sure there's people that believe this now.
Sounds legit.
Just kidding, it's a scam.
This is actually kind of a good analogy.
In what way? It's not even the infection that's rising the temperature, it's your body, trying to get rid of it.
Plus, if "working harder" meant getting a fever, like a CPU getting warmer with a power virus, a gym session would be a death sentence.
Right? I was just thinking that my immune system's graphics card does not work that way.
Probably need to download some more ram.
Well, thanks for that! Now I have even more virus!
This is what we should all be aiming for. The Mr. Burns effect, where there's so many different ailments present at once that nothing can actually do anything.
Go inject with dirty needles, drink stagnant water, lick the hands of every child you encounter. Only by filling yourself to the brim with germs can you achieve immortality.
A similar strategy also works for governance, if Republican leadership is to be believed.
Ooh, a win-win scenario, noice! 😉
The Matrix makes people sick in winter to handle the winter peak demand.
This is because bitcoin is stored in the balls.
There's no way this happened to days in a row. Deleting my post lol
I thought it was just yellow fever. 🥵
