Linux, Together, Strong!
The ultimate Linux desktop environment civil war, but make it wholesome! Nothing says "I'm a true open source hero" like using one desktop environment while financially supporting its arch-nemesis. It's like being a vim user who donates to the Emacs foundation—pure chaotic good energy. The Superman imagery is perfect because let's be honest, anyone running Linux in 2024 already thinks they're saving the world from the evil corporate empires. Meanwhile, Windows users are just trying to print a document without their computer deciding it's the perfect time for a 2-hour update. Fun fact: If all the energy spent arguing about GNOME vs KDE had been directed at actual development, we'd have had the year of the Linux desktop back in 2003.

"Hmm, this one's still too hard, this one's too soft... ah, this beige beauty feels just right!" Meanwhile, his company probably upgraded to flat screens in 2005, but he's still hoarding these relics because "you never know when you'll need a 30-pound monitor that can double as a space heater." The ultimate tech hoarder's paradise—where e-waste management policies go to cry.

The Golden Mouse Temptation
The AUDACITY of the universe to dangle my exact mouse model in front of me at 44¢! After I made a BLOOD OATH against Logitech for their unrepairable gadgets! It's like the golden idol from Indiana Jones, but instead of triggering booby traps, it'll trigger my wallet to open despite my dramatic vows of hardware celibacy. The self-control required here is SUPERHUMAN. That shiny mouse is whispering sweet nothings like "I'm practically free" while my trauma screams "BUT FOR HOW LONG BEFORE I BREAK?!"
