@loopback0 That is as old as I am, or close to it. Back in the 70s it was just a piece of string, with nothing hanging from it, but the idea is at least that old.
It also came with a lifetime guarantee. "You bought it; you own it — for the rest of your life."
When I taught pioneering (tying fancy knots) as a Cub Scout instructor, it was a rock suspended from a tripod. They learned that if they stuck with it as a Boy Scout, they'd learn to tie the knots that held the three sticks together.
(This was during a break in the action while they were cooking eggs over a fire.)
Well, you know how you can use a donkeys's balls to help tell the time, yeah?
Why don't you tell me?
So I was finishing a bender in Mexico, and I come to in the desert, and stagger into town. First thing I see is this little shack dealie with some guy sitting next to a donkey. Keeping my priorities in order, I ask him what time it is, and he reaches over and gently hefts the donkey's balls.
He contemplates two, three, seconds, and say, "es about 3 o'clock"...

Dude, I ran, that guy must've been a witch. But if you bring him donkey balls, he'll tell you the time.

Could also be useful as a handy fuse tester. If nothing happens the fuse is blown.
My wife bought exactly this model to take on a trip
Gotta love the CE and "Surge Protector".

If the image adds nothing on top of the text I usually either decide to be lazy and nongooglable and share only the pic or friendly and googlable and type it all out again. But that's just me.
Because that's not funny, have some VOD:

Do we have a thread for hackers in movies?
Yesterday I saw a tense sequence where hackers were trying to download a program (to understand how it works) without the server finding where they are, so they disguised their path through 10 hops. There was a helpful world map on the wall where the nodes turned red as the remote server back-tracked towards them, while one of the hackers announced how much of the file they had managed to get...
After about a minute or so, they had to break the connection before getting everything, the other side was getting too close, but they had managed to download about 70%: 700 kB out of a total 1 MB! I guess all those hops were really killing the bandwidth.
Then started to look at what they had, and one guy went "we're foiled, it's all compiled code!" to which another said "not all, there is some C++" but they still were stuck until one cried "wait, what's that here? That's an XML configuration file!" but oh noes that part of the file was all garbled and/or missing... until one finally spotted the clue! Look, here's an IP address! That must be the address of the people who masterminded the whole thing, so one rushed to "get to work and decode" the address (helpfully showing his terminal at this point where he literally did a
nslookup
and nothing more). Wow, that was so clever!

The other shots where you could see what they typed included, IIRC, one guy demonstrating his top programming skills by typing
mkdir mnt tmp
( I can only imagine that the producers looked for some command that was short and cryptic enough, without producing any actual output, since the shot seemed to be of a real computer screen and having the computer print "error" probably wouldn't have looked so nice), and then during this download-the-program scene, one shot of a hacker frantically trying to protect themselves from the Bad Guys tracking them by typingtar xzf <something I didn't catch>
.Of course, the top-hacker uses a RGB LED keyboard. But that's not how to know he's a hacker: in another scene one guy was being interrogated by a group of people, one of which was typing at a laptop. The guy immediately knew that person was the hacker of the group, not because of the laptop, but because... the keys were blank!

So with sideprint caps you would be a half-hacker? Asking for a friend.

My keyboard is RGB (well, solid green for a while now) because if I turn it off the caps are basically blank. Am I a double hacker?

Probably more of a double decker

No, but if you get another such keyboard, then you would be.

My grandmother had FB and Twitter, at least before she died in 2013. She even had instructions after her death to delete the accounts.

There was a guy who was struck by lightning seven times. You'd think he'd have learned to stay indoors during a thunderstorm after the first one...

@Rhywden said in The Official Funny Stuff Thread™:
You'd think he'd have learned
AIUI, getting hit by lightning can do strange things to one's personality. Kinda messes with the brain's electrochemistry. I vaguely remember reading about a guy who suddenly bought a motorcycle and started riding it hundreds/thousands of miles cross-country, with no motorcycle license or previous experience, after having been struck by lighting. Which is to say, maybe the first lightning strike messed with his brain in a way that, no, he couldn't actually learn that.
