The Tilde That Destroyed Everything

When you accidentally create a literal tilde (~) directory and then panic-delete your entire home folder... classic career-shortening move! The tilde in Unix/Linux is shorthand for your home directory, but this poor soul created an actual folder named "~" and then ran rm -rf ~/ thinking they were being precise. Spoiler alert: they weren't deleting the tilde folder—they were nuking their entire home directory from orbit. That moment of realization between "Stopped thinking" and updating your resume is approximately 0.3 seconds.

The rest of us are just trying to exist peacefully with our inferior operating systems, but here comes the Linux zealot, literally flying through the window to inform us about the wonders of package managers and terminal commands. "Have you heard about our lord and savior, Arch Linux? I compiled my own kernel last night just for fun!" Meanwhile, everyone else is silently wondering if they can block you in real life the way they do on social media.

Ascii Stupid Question, Get A Stupid Ansi

The evolution of tech vocabulary is brutal! Back in the day, we had precise terminology like "application," "program," and "operating system." Now? Everything's just an "app." Need to compile code? There's an app for that. Running a critical system daemon? Just another app, bro. Even your meticulously crafted shell scripts? Yep, apps. It's like watching your carefully organized toolbox get dumped into a single drawer labeled "stuff that does things." The smug face in the corner is every marketing department that successfully convinced us precision is overrated. Who needs technical accuracy when you can have simplicity?
