The Traces Are Clear
Oh. My. God. The absolute SAVAGERY of this meme! 😂 It's the digital equivalent of finding footprints in the snow! The Windows user leaves behind their unmistakable trail with the classic \r\n line ending signature - the carriage return AND newline combo that screams "I USE WINDOWS" louder than a Blue Screen of Death at a Linux convention. Meanwhile, Unix/Linux users smugly use just \n like civilized beings. It's basically the digital version of leaving the toilet seat up - dead giveaway of who's been there!

Windows Devs After Adding CRLF In Each Line Of Every Merged File
The dark satisfaction of Windows developers inserting carriage return line feed (CRLF) into every merged file is perfectly captured here. While Unix-based systems use just LF (\n) for line endings, Windows insists on CRLF (\r\n) and will fight to the death for those extra bytes. Nothing like breaking git diffs and causing merge conflicts across operating systems because Windows decided in 1981 that mimicking typewriters was the future of computing. The smug expression says it all - "Yes, I've ruined your clean line endings, and I'd do it again."

Why Is Perforce Still Used In The Games Industry?
The eternal struggle of game developers everywhere: trying to spot the difference between CRLF and LF line endings while Perforce gleefully ignores them as "identical" during merges. Nothing like spending 3 hours debugging why your build is failing only to discover it's because Windows and Unix decided to have a philosophical debate about how lines should end. And yet somehow, this prehistoric version control system that can't tell the difference between line endings is still the industry standard. Legacy code and "but we've always done it this way" strikes again!
