Hacker stereotype Memes

THE ABSOLUTE DRAMA of opening a terminal in public! 💀 One second you're innocently checking a server status, and suddenly you're the main character in "CSI: Cyber" to everyone around you! The sheer AUDACITY of these non-tech mortals to think that black screens with colorful text equals "hacking the mainframe" or whatever they think we do! Meanwhile you're just desperately trying to explain that running ls -la is NOT the same as breaking into the Pentagon's secret files! The biblical mob scene at the bottom is SENDING ME! Nothing says "modern tech literacy" like being one command prompt away from the villagers showing up with torches and pitchforks! 🔥

Nothing screams "elite hacker" to non-tech folks like a black terminal with white text. I've literally had people back away nervously when I'm just checking disk space with df -h . It's like showing a calculator to someone in the 1600s—instant witchcraft trial. Ten years writing enterprise software and people still think I'm breaking into the Pentagon when I'm actually just trying to remember the syntax for tar for the 500th time.
