There's a special hierarchy of chaos in the tech world. At the top: serial killers and psychopaths who casually murder processes without mercy. Then there's the middle tier—people who press the physical power button to shut down their PC like it's 1995. And at the bottom? The innocent rabbit who probably just runs shutdown -h now like a civilized being. Look, we all know the power button shutdown is technically fine on modern systems with proper shutdown procedures, but it still feels wrong. It's like eating pizza with a fork—sure, it works, but everyone's judging you. Real developers either use the Start menu like normal humans or flex with terminal commands. The power button is reserved for when your PC freezes during a Windows update and you've already gone through the five stages of grief.

Behold, the majestic journey of the trash icon from "functional pixel art" to "I'm having an identity crisis and also maybe a rainbow smoothie." The progression is absolutely WILD—we started with honest, hardworking pixelated bins that knew their purpose in life, evolved through various Windows eras where Microsoft kept saying "let's make it MORE realistic," and then suddenly 2025 hits and someone in the design department was like "what if the trash can became... abstract art?" That final 2025 icon looks like it's about to ask you to subscribe to its meditation podcast. It's giving "I'm not just a trash can, I'm a LIFESTYLE BRAND." The recycle symbol didn't just leave the chat—it ascended to a higher plane of existence where physical forms are merely suggestions. RIP to the days when a trash icon actually looked like something you'd throw garbage into. Now it's a gradient fever dream that probably costs $12.99/month for premium deletion features.

Comparing Red Star OS (North Korea's Linux distro) to Windows 11 is like asking if store-brand cereal and name-brand cereal have any differences. Spoiler: it's just different packaging for the same surveillance. Both track everything you do, one's just more honest about it. The corporate overlords might be different, but your data's still going somewhere it probably shouldn't.

Windows: "No security updates! You're vulnerable!" *checks system* Also Windows: "Hey, we've got a security update from... *checks notes*... 2025!?" Nothing says "trust our security warnings" like scheduling patches from the future. Microsoft's time machine development must be going well—shame they can't use it to make Windows actually stable. At least the cat's expression perfectly captures that moment when you realize your OS is either lying or has achieved time travel.
