I'm sorry, bud. But our expiration date is 2039.

The first universe simulator will be built, and it'll crash our current simulation due to recursion.

/s

[–] Manzas@lemdro.id 8 points 1 month ago

It will just run real slow ,just like a vm in a vm

[–] Anticorp@lemmy.world 2 points 1 month ago (1 children)

How are we running in a simulation if the first simulator hasn't been built?

[–] IDKWhatUsernametoPutHereLolol@lemmy.dbzer0.com 12 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

It has been built, out in the real world, just not within this simulation.

Maddie, please fix.

Do you have any 32 bit computers anymore? Any running important stuff that needs good dates?

[–] jol@discuss.tchncs.de 6 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Lots of embedded systems and infrastructure. But yeah, nothing important like your porn watching device.

[–] psud@lemmy.world 0 points 1 month ago (1 children)

And as long as they get updated, it'll be fine. Probably cheaper than Y2K. Note that medical and industrial control stuff generally doesn't care about the date

[–] jol@discuss.tchncs.de 2 points 1 month ago

As long as they can be updated.

[–] USSMojave@startrek.website 0 points 1 month ago (1 children)

It's not about having accurate dates, it's about how unix time is used in programming. For some systems that reference unix time for essential calculations, that value rolling over and overflowing would cause catastrophic problems

[–] psud@lemmy.world 1 points 1 month ago

Sure but that means a workaround for machines affected, but not needing correct dates could be to set their clocks to midnight Jan 1 1970 and have another 65 years to sort it out

Anyway, the biggest problem will be embedded systems, including many household and business smart devices. Several I have are definitely 32 bit machines and might use 32 bit time precise to the second. Some I don't know. I have no idea what processor my TV uses

[–] Zangoose@lemmy.world 13 points 1 month ago (1 children)

The year after epoch overflows?

[–] psud@lemmy.world 1 points 1 month ago

On 32 bit computers

If isnt my 23rd favorite rapist and future source of heating, Vince McMahon

[–] Hobbes_Dent@lemmy.world 5 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

That’s why I was one of the few to downvote.

This guy is no Luigi Sr.

[–] FateOfTheCrow@lemmy.blahaj.zone 34 points 1 month ago (1 children)

I was already almost always picking Luigi. Recent events have only solidified my choice.

[–] MisterFrog@lemmy.world 2 points 1 month ago

Original MarioKart DS, Luigi in his vacuum go-kart was peak performance

Nice meme, unfortunate image choice (isn't that the wrestling billionaire CEO?).

[–] macgyver@federation.red 15 points 1 month ago

Not anymore lol

[–] samus12345@lemm.ee 26 points 1 month ago (1 children)

The fact that he used Luigi as his Steam avatar makes it even better.

[–] ExplosiveLynx@lemmy.world 11 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Man's got good taste in games

[–] Baguette@lemm.ee 6 points 1 month ago

Ftl is a based game to have in your most played list

[–] AllNewTypeFace@leminal.space 21 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

Within a few months, Nintendo will have renamed him to Leroy or something, and put out a press release that it had been in the planning for a few years, to refresh the franchise for a new generation of players and so on, and obviously had nothing to do with Luigi having become a symbol of insurrection.

sad wrestling man

[–] AgentGrimstone@lemmy.world 2 points 1 month ago

I'm going to guess it's from the recent documentary on Netflix, "Mr. McMahon"

[–] Timmy_Jizz_Tits@lemmy.world 2 points 1 month ago

From a documentary about the undertaker. Vince McMahon had a sex toy named after him if I remember his sex trafficking lawsuit correctly.

[–] zippythezigzag@lemm.ee 1 points 1 month ago

A movie called The Sandlot. I grew up watching this. It was pretty popular at the time but it's considered old now. 😞

[–] peteypete420@sh.itjust.works 6 points 4 weeks ago

I had just started getting comfortable with either big (waluigi) or baby (toadette) in kart 8 . Guess I'm going back to medium.

[–] NickwithaC@lemmy.world 6 points 1 month ago (1 children)

I chose Luigi before it was cool! I drove as him in Double Dash!

[–] camr_on@lemmy.world 2 points 1 month ago

Luigi and baby Luigi in the Luigi kart
