Don't do that! Milk is conductive. This could make you a serial killer!

[–] mifan@feddit.dk 52 points 2 years ago

Or you would have a firewire πŸ€·πŸ½β€β™‚οΈ

[–] renormalizer@feddit.de 82 points 2 years ago (2 children)

Getting the order right is not an exact science. It's more of an UART.

[–] xusontha@ls.buckodr.ink 22 points 2 years ago

I can't think of a pun good enough to respond with, good job

[–] 0x2a@feddit.ch 5 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

You people need to stop bit with the puns.

I’m showing my age here, but that’s likely dvi, and not serial.

9pin is much smaller and 25pin is significantly larger.

But despite my pedantic statement, the joke still stands. Well played.

Oh christ, DVI is old now.

[–] Ajen@sh.itjust.works 19 points 2 years ago (1 children)

We're pretty much at the point where 2.5" SSDs are old...

[–] rmuk@feddit.uk 2 points 2 years ago

Does that mean my stash of IBM MicroDrives are finally going to be worth something?

[–] Rhaedas@kbin.social 27 points 2 years ago

Same here, although I thought VGA. Dealt with too many parallel cables in the past and that didn't look wide enough.

[–] xusontha@ls.buckodr.ink 21 points 2 years ago (2 children)

Shhhh it's just a different flavor of cereal

[–] ArbiterXero@lemmy.world 16 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Mmmmmm fruity loops of wire

[–] xusontha@ls.buckodr.ink 5 points 2 years ago

My favorite...

Oh god, I needed to read this comment to actually understand the joke of the post.

[–] Ajen@sh.itjust.works 17 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago) (1 children)

DVI-D uses TMDS, which is a serial protocol. So if you want to be really pedantic you could call it a serial port even though it's not RS232.

DVI-A also transmits metadata over a serial connection, but the video signal is parallel analog.

[–] ArbiterXero@lemmy.world 12 points 2 years ago

Fair! Neat fact!

[–] captain_aggravated@sh.itjust.works 9 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

Yeah it's clearly a D-Sub connector, I'll allow the meme, the joke's funny.

Looks a heck of a lot like the RS-485 serial cable I've got on my desk right now. Scale is hard to tell, not sure how big that bowl is.

Fun fact: That's not real milk. It's just Elmer's glue, they use it to stage the perfect shot.

Food marketing is fascinating

I think it is extremely controverserial.

[–] xusontha@ls.buckodr.ink 8 points 2 years ago

...I should've thought of that

The milk, the serial needs something to plug in

[–] xusontha@ls.buckodr.ink 8 points 2 years ago (1 children)

True, but what if there isn't enough milk to plug into? Or what if you have too much milk?

[–] drew_belloc@programming.dev 11 points 2 years ago (1 children)

It will never be too much milk

[–] xusontha@ls.buckodr.ink 9 points 2 years ago (1 children)

This will be the result my friend:

Your house will overflow with milk!

[–] drew_belloc@programming.dev 9 points 2 years ago (1 children)
[–] xusontha@ls.buckodr.ink 8 points 2 years ago

You seem to really like milk

[–] bjoern_tantau@swg-empire.de 22 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Depends. Does the milk come from universal serial boobs?

[–] GrammatonCleric@lemmy.world 20 points 2 years ago (2 children)
[–] jayknight@lemmy.ml 14 points 2 years ago

I've upgraded all of my bowls to Universal Serial Bowls (the C connector is specifically for cereal).

[–] xusontha@ls.buckodr.ink 7 points 2 years ago

It's up to you for your choice of connector, though it would be drier than usual

[–] DarkenLM@artemis.camp 18 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Put them in whatever order you like.

The bowl goes last.

[–] xusontha@ls.buckodr.ink 5 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago) (2 children)

...or does it?

Veritasium music starts playing

[–] DarkenLM@artemis.camp 2 points 2 years ago

Yes it does, and I will die fighting on this hill.

I generally put the Serial in first, as its very reliable.

[–] xusontha@ls.buckodr.ink 7 points 2 years ago

Good choice! I do the same

[–] sundrei@lemmy.sdf.org 11 points 2 years ago

RS-23ewwwww

[–] LastYearsPumpkin@feddit.ch 9 points 2 years ago (1 children)
[–] xusontha@ls.buckodr.ink 6 points 2 years ago

Then it's a snack (I think?)

[–] eee@lemm.ee 7 points 2 years ago

Gotta take a waterfall approach

[–] troyunrau@lemmy.ca 7 points 2 years ago (1 children)

What's the bitrate of the milk?

[–] xmunk@sh.itjust.works 3 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Excuse me but I'm married and feed both of us - I do it in parallel.
