You probably just broke your system. Congratulations.

Out of memory: Kill process 15745 (postgres) score 10 or sacrifice child
I’d like to add this one:
Uhhuh. NMI received for unknown reason 31 on CPU 3. Dazed and confused, but trying to continueI get this one like once a week and it always makes me laugh. One day I’ll investigate
Poor Tux, it’s a rough life
BIOS/UEFI likely tried to fuck up the CPU, or hardware fault. NMI => Non Maskable Interrupt.
I love some of the dangerous upgrade commands too, my favorite:
hdparm --fwdownload-mode7 firmwarefile.bin –yes-i-know-what-i-am-doing --please-destroy-my-drive /dev/sdb
Legend has it that in the dark ages, when DEC (Digital Equipment Corp) licensed ARM from Acorn for their StrongARM processors, they took Arm’s testing toolkit and ran it to find issues with their processor.
Now, ARM was a tiny division and only had developed their tools for strictly internal usage. It was never supposed to go to some huge and professional enterprise like DEC.
So when the DEC engineering team ran the tester, It shouted a
SHIFTER FUCKEDerror right at them lmfaoSacrificing children is pretty common in Linux
What goes hard about the kernel panic one?
u cant make popcorn without some kernels panicking
Is there a version of this with some pixels in it?
Much better
Possibly, but I’ll just transcribe it here for screenreaders and people who can’t see through the pixelation:

And yet all of them indicates the actual cause of error. It’s nice to have a bit of fun sometimes.
cowsayshould be at the end of every script you run.I remember not compiling the root filesystem in the kernel on my first Gentoo install, and being surprised it couldn’t mount root at boot.
The first kernel I built was not entirely happy with the .config I had made for it. Only thing it could do was BEEP-ing in panic for any key presses. [insert noot noot meme]
Argh not the VFS kernel panic!
i have seen many of these memes, is there a website or something where all these are collected ?
Try removing essential packages from your system or unmounting /boot
On the second one if someone typed just “y” I would print “Please read the damn warning”.
