I am also not familiar with train terminology meaning in America. What does it mean?

[-] KISSmyOSFeddit@lemmy.world 266 points 11 months ago

"To run a train on someone" means you and a lot of your friends have sex with them, one after another.

[-] noride@lemm.ee 106 points 11 months ago

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.

[-] anarchrist@lemmy.dbzer0.com 22 points 11 months ago

From the Orgy region of France

[-] humorlessrepost@lemmy.world 16 points 11 months ago* (last edited 11 months ago)

Also a gangbang is many to many, while a train is many to one.

[-] grue@lemmy.world 90 points 11 months ago* (last edited 11 months ago)

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.

Linux shouldn’t let itself be slutshamed. Linux should proud of what a good little slut it is.

Also seeing the Nitter theme like a year after its death hits hard.

[-] jkozaka@lemm.ee 13 points 11 months ago

We still have other nitter intances like nitter.poast.net at least.

"You know when you run many commands in the terminal with &&? Like that but with penises."

This comment combines two of life's experiences that are usually seperate.

[-] hydroptic@sopuli.xyz 65 points 11 months ago* (last edited 11 months ago)

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

[-] pipows@lemmy.today 16 points 11 months ago

I can't read fsck as anything other than "fs check"

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.

[-] lugal@lemmy.world 50 points 11 months ago

You guys have a word for this??? We have words like Weltschmerz or Schadenfreude but having a word for this is wild

[-] PhlubbaDubba@lemm.ee 35 points 11 months ago

Less a formalized word and more a turn of phrase

We have a lot of them for sex related stuff due to a looooooong history of how the culture around what's considered vulgar has developed

[-] CptEnder@lemmy.world 23 points 11 months ago* (last edited 11 months ago)

Oh we got a word for schadenfreude, it's called electoral politics here.

[-] lugal@lemmy.world 14 points 11 months ago

I guess that's the new zeitgeist now

Sorry i am foreigner too.... what is the train terminology reffered to here?

[-] nickwitha_k@lemmy.sdf.org 99 points 11 months ago

Just explained this to my Irish wife. To "run a train on someone" in American slang would mean having group sex with that person, potentially consecutively.

[-] DragonTypeWyvern@midwest.social 27 points 11 months ago

Trains are consecutive or it's just a boring old gangbang

You know how in a train one carriage comes after the other? One ends, then the next one starts?

Running a train on someone means one guy after the other banging them.

[-] arin@lemmy.world 14 points 11 months ago

I'm American and I have no clue. I'm also a gooner so this must be fringe af

[-] Siethron@lemmy.world 19 points 11 months ago

This is not fringe at all. There's way your a gooner and don't know what this means. People even use the terminology to describe the Sex scene Stephen King randomly put in "IT". It's a gangbang but one at a 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?

[-] JPSound@lemmy.world 45 points 11 months ago* (last edited 11 months ago)

Sounds like your friend is just some dumbass who's trying to fit something in there that just doesn't. ...that's what she said

[-] raspberriesareyummy@lemmy.world 30 points 11 months ago

I just had a light bulb moment as to what it is that annoys me about a large portion of US-american men: all the "dudes" temper & behaviour is adolescent - as if they never made it past puberty. Which perfectly fits the sexualized language being funny to those guys.

[-] MrShankles@reddthat.com 31 points 11 months ago

Uhh... your mom never made it past puberty?

Got 'em!!! Fucking burn dude!

I'm american and this is a perfect description of americans. I've literally never heard this phrase once, but I don't hang out with morons.

From henceforth, distro hopping will be known as running a train on Linux.

What if train have kernel panic

[-] Maalus@lemmy.world 34 points 11 months ago

In Polish, kernel directly translates to "testicle". So it basically says that the testicle panicked.

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.

[-] You999@sh.itjust.works 41 points 11 months ago

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.

Shit, that's funny.

[-] user1234@lemmynsfw.com 17 points 11 months ago

My first thought was that he meant that trains were run on Windows Me. That is a scary thought indeed.

[-] wide_eyed_stupid@lemmy.world 13 points 11 months ago

I had to look up the meaning and now I can only imagine the confusion this person must have felt, before he figured it out, lol.
