For those who don't know the image source, it's from Kung Fury, a short comedy (half hour) on youtube. Fully recommend for over the top parody of bad 80s action movies.
Is that a Nintendo power glove?

When you're going up against Adolf Hitler and need to travel back in time, it's the right equipment for the job.
Adolf Hitler? Ive heard of that guy!
You mean the Kung FΓΌhrer?
It's so bad.
Yeah, badass.
I'm going to refer you to a wizard
Yup!
If anyone's curious as to whether this scene was considered cringy when the movie came out, yes. Yes, it was.

It's the power glove that really gets me. It's so bad.
I put an optical drive in my PC recently, and I've been giggling like an idiot typing "eject" and "eject -t" into the terminal. Terminal commands that do something physical in the world delight me.
It feels magical to run systemctl shutdown now to my laptop through SSH and seeing my laptop turn off without touching it

Oh man, I haven't thought about Kung Fury since seeing it in a double feature with Turbo Kid when it came out. Thank you.

More like, the app complains about not being able to find the window manager due to some environment variables missing in the shell env, and refuses to launch.
Do you even export DISPLAY, bro?!??
I don't use the termulator for opening apps that can bepened through GUI simply because the termulator has to stay open and that clutters the taskbar.
I was recently debugging something with the Junior on my team and told him to install Bruno to make a few API calls. He installed it, but then couldn't find an icon for the Program anywhere (and obviously the Win11 Search bar was only delivering useless results). So I told him to just type "bruno" into his terminal and see what happens. It actually opened the program! I have never felt this smart before!

There must be a "the virgin Mr Robot hacker vs the chad Kung Fury hackerman" comparison out there somewhere
