Just Provide Me Linux Dotexe
Someone just walked into Torvalds' Linux repository demanding a .exe file like they're at a drive-thru window ordering a McFlurry. They want to "download and install" Linux like it's a Windows application, completely oblivious to the fact that they're staring at the literal source code of an operating system kernel. The beautiful irony? They're asking for a Linux .exe file. That's like going to a Tesla dealership and asking them to fill up your gas tank. The .exe extension is a Windows executable format, my friend. Linux uses ELF binaries, shell scripts, or you know... you actually compile the code. But sure, let's just package an entire operating system kernel into a convenient double-clickable Windows executable because that makes total sense. The rage-filled rant calling developers "STUPID FUCKING SMELLY NERDS" for not catering to their complete lack of understanding is *chef's kiss*. Nothing says "I'm ready to contribute to open source" quite like insulting the entire developer community while fundamentally misunderstanding what you're looking at.

The Reluctant Tech Support Prodigy
The raw, unfiltered frustration of tech support in its purest form. That moment when you've spent 45 minutes explaining how to connect to Wi-Fi to someone who still uses a rotary phone and thinks "the cloud" is where rain comes from. The kid's face-palm is basically the universal gesture of every developer who's ever had to explain that no, turning it off and on again isn't just a funny IT Crowd reference—it's literally step one of troubleshooting since the dawn of computing. We've all been there—mentally screaming instructions that seem so painfully obvious while maintaining that thin veneer of professionalism. Until one day, you snap and channel your inner toddler's brutal honesty.

The System32 Conspiracy
Ah, the classic tale of the tech-illiterate conspiracy theorist who thinks they've uncovered the grand Microsoft deception. System32 is literally just the core Windows directory containing critical system files—delete it and congratulations, you've bricked your computer! The December 31, 1969 date is actually Unix epoch time (January 1, 1970 UTC) minus a timezone offset—basically the computer equivalent of "the beginning of time." It's what systems show when a file has no valid timestamp. But sure, go ahead and "save yourself 700kb" by deleting essential system files. I'm sure your computer will run so much faster in its new state as an expensive paperweight.
