Described: Why whenever I figure something out myself after posting a help thread, I'll write a whole report on what I did before it got fixed (because often I'm just throwing shit at the wall to see what sticks, and I never know what exactly moved the needle)

Those threads with "fixed it!" and no instructions? If they're on reddit, I'm posting "I deleted system32 and the problem went away!"

If it's Linux related say "open a terminal and do sudo rm -rf /" for similar life-ruining effects.

sudo rm -rf /

Ok, so I retroactively removed the realm of France and now a bunch of Spanish people are pissed about living too close to Luxembourg and the number of great cheeses in the world has decreased by 80%!

What now?

Why do I always click on these even though I know exactly what it will be?

xkcd is so good I don’t mind reading it over and over

Like I said in a previous thread that ended up on this topic. There's a special place in hell, with Satan from Little Nicky, a few pineapples and some lobsters to hang off these asshole's nipples.....
