I see at least two problems here:
-
Don’t pull on the cable, pull on the plug.
-
Use EU power sockets, it is safer, more like :q! when existing vim and unsaved changed you made to the file are lost for sure.
Ah yes, I’ll just replace all my power sockets, get rid of all my electronics, and only buy imported European electronics from now on.
It’s so obvious, why didn’t I think of it before.
Oh yeah, and rewire my whole house to 240 V. Easy peasy.
To be fair, switching to 240v is pretty easy, just move the neutral to a hot leg in the fuse box.
Wouldn’t that hot leg need to be 180 degrees out of phase with the other?
Yes but I was’t trying to write a book this morning.
I’m no electricityologist, but wouldn’t that make half your circuits 240V and the other half deadly 0V?
Nope
Major side benefit of finally having a decent vacuum cleaner…
Instructions unclear, electrocuted while replacing outlets.
use UK power sockets it’s ever more safe
That’s how you brexit vim tho. Takes years to complete, no coming back and bricks everything else in the process.
Triple comment, my dude
dammit it was refusing to send the message so I kept retrying it’s never done that to me before
It has done it to me before lol
The UK plugs, on the other hand, are the only shape of plug known to man that when it’s left on the ground the pins always end up turned up, ready and eager to receive any feet not suitably protected by a hard shoe sole.
people say this and yeah it is kinda true but honestly who just leaves plugs on the floor who is this an issue for the plug is in the wall
See, that’s why I just flip the circuit breakers to ensure a successful exit

Exiting Vim is for beginners.
Veterans stay in Vim till the end of time. Probably for the same reasons why the meme in post was made.
I see they reused the instructions for ed, great to see how intuitive Linux is between different programs
Well ed is the standard text editor after all
My point exactly, I am just happy Vim follows the standard (:
The laughing comes when you are so used to vim that you begin using :q in other programs and wonder why doesn’t it exit.
Doesn’t work on laptops.
then disassemble the laptop and remove the battery connection
Maybe that’s why Linux users enjoy old ThinkPads so much, you can just pull out the battery without opening the laptop.
Sledge hammer is your only option
I simply avoid this issue by not starting vim in the first place.
Just click the X on your terminal window.
For the more advanced, there’s a button(the more sophisticated may call it a „switch”) for that(on the wall(the fuse))
That socket looks shocked
It does?
Don’t pull plugs out of the wall by the cord. Grab the base of the plug firmly and pull perpendicular to the wall
So you’re saying I shouldn’t pull the socket out of the wall to unplug?
Don’t pull on the cord
I use arc, btw.
Better turn off all the breakers in your house. Just to make sure you’ve really closed it
Burn down the sub station to be sure…
Steal a nuclear bomb and wipe out your entire city. That’s my strat
Why would you exit vim tho? Are you being forced under duress or something?
First boisterous laugh of the day. Thank you!
C’mon guys. Escape, colon q bang. It practically exits itself.
Or ‘ZZ’
Well, careful there,
ZZ
is like:wq
;ZQ
is like:q!

Complex wizardry on a keyboard vs yank wire?!
We know the winner
