Why would you lick your Thinkpad?
Why wouldn’t you?
You just point and clit.
I call it the clicktorus
“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?!
Unix socks
Wait does that mean i can wear them if i use MacOS?
No.
You can only use Apple Branded iSocks™.
If you want to use normal socks you need an adapter.
Debatable. I’d argue that they’re FOSS-specific
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” :)

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.
I never thought to use my tongue to move the mouse
The joke is that programmers actually have sex.
KinkPad FTW
AKA Twinkpad
I just got one for work, and I kept giggling to myself because of this
Here you go, source material!
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

Don’t know. Never had a 3DS.
Yup!
Wait, what
That thing isn’t a thumbrest ?!
Controller innovation is dead in the water because familiarity :(
I have a NeoGeo pocket color. That clicky joystick is the absolute best directional input I think I’ve ever used. A shame it never got adopted in the wider gaming community. But I think the Lenovo nubbin would be great as a thumb pad.
So tempted to send this to my gf but I’m going to get roasted alive. 🏳️🌈
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.
I too, prefer them to touchpads.
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”
…and other fairy tales you can tell yourself.
Is this ALSO a sex joke? 😄
The love nub
