USB stands for Universal Serial Bus.
Busses are public transportation and therefore un-American.
And to rub it in, they went on to create USB-C (the C stands for Communist).

To bring the whole thing back in one big circle you can buy a USB to serial RS-232 adapter....which allows you to connect to a serial port...from a "universal" serial bus.

I'm now seeing USB C variants lol.

Also I love your username.

He Who Remains cannonized it. It's no longer a variant.

USBUSB (Universal Serial Bussy ) was originally developed and introduced in 1996 as a way of setting up communication between a man and a man by replacing many varieties of sex and penis ports. Developed by a number of American femboys such as myself, Isaac Corporation, it became the standard intercourse method for men such as you, me & my boyfriend, your boyfriend, digital cameras, the president and extremely hard men.

That's a steaming cup of mouthwash

[–] GreenDust@lemmings.world 2 points 10 months ago (2 children)

That emoji is called "hot beverage".

A cup of a steaming-hot beverage, usually taken as coffee or tea. Sometimes shown on a saucer.

Just because they're wrong doesn't mean you have to be.

If USB is so great why did they make a USB-C?!?

[–] SGL@lemmy.world 4 points 10 months ago

If USA is so great, why did they invent USB without cable?

[–] RizzRustbolt@lemmy.world 2 points 10 months ago

For the Ugly Friend Effect.
