It goes WAY back.

The Apollo Guidance Computer software had a routine called KISSING. ...about LM-CM docking, of course.

You saw the opening scene of Apollo 13 and thought only the astronauts used horny references in regards to the docking? Think again! So did the programmers.

From those only pentest has kind of a sus name. But that's understandable, hackers are degenerates. Also there's a reason it's called pentest and not the full name lmao.

--verbose is for when you want dirty talk

We're good with technology, so we're VERY easily able to find our EXACT preferred porn for our EXACT fetishes. That snowballs.

Also, forget ALT-TAB. We Linux users LOVE having keyboard shortcuts for completely different desktops... for reasons.

Look, most of us are just kinda repressed and low-level horny at all times

[–] mirshafie@europe.pub 1 points 9 hours ago

Some of us aren't repressed!

Software, firmware, and hardware.

[–] NightmareQueenJune@lemmy.world 2 points 11 hours ago

Today i realized, that firmware is just the between-step of soft and hardware.

Construction is like this too.

Erection, nipples, rods, pipes, vibrators, lube, rope, caulk, penetrate, lay hardwood, and my all time favorite. “Hey Frank, come give me a reach around, I need an extra hand here”

Edit, nailing studs.

"Get me some oil so I can tap this tight hole. You're going to need to screw it hard, and then drop a double nut on it. Make sure to keep your bush clean, or you can try sticking your finger in and twisting it around, otherwise you'll never get this hard shaft into it. And remember: if it's walking funny when you drill, try putting the tip between a pair of nuts."

Maybe a bit more machining, but it's not even a stretch to make it sound absolutely terrible. Those are all even pretty reasonable statements in context (if you know zero slang), not just isolated words.

[–] Longmactoppedup@aussie.zone 2 points 11 hours ago

Had any "Full penetration butt welds" lately?

I love telling people who aren't from Cincinnati that I had a threeway with some strangers in a parking lot

That is, I ate a 3-way (Cincinnati chili, cheese, and spaghetti) in a parking lot on lunch break with some random plumbers who were also taking their break there

[–] Skullgrid@lemmy.world 16 points 1 day ago (2 children)

how do you know someone's from Cincinnati?

Don't worry, they'll tell you

[–] Denvil@piefed.world 23 points 1 day ago (1 children)

I'll have you know that Cincinnati cuisine is the absolute greatest cuisine to EVER originate in Cincinnati

[–] Skullgrid@lemmy.world 10 points 1 day ago

I cannot disagree. You guys need the tautology award for tautology award winners.

Some men are born great
Some men achieve greatness
... and some are from Ohio

Oh my god I'm sorry I compiled so fast. This never happens. You're just so pretty...

[–] cbazero@programming.dev 13 points 1 day ago

I dumped my core so fast ...

you cannot create art if you aren't horny.

i feel that this is not appropriate for children and i want this changed to dom/sub or top/bottom. maybe dick/butt. poker/hole?

[–] lord_ryvan@ttrpg.network 4 points 14 hours ago

I mean, main/sub is a strong alternative ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Wait till you get into game development. You'll be doing a lot of parent/child relationship, and killing orphans.

Unzip. Finger. Fsck. Sleep.

[–] Tartas1995@discuss.tchncs.de 18 points 1 day ago

I think there are 4 reasons:

  1. Most people are very horny
  2. It people are very online
  3. A lot of it people are obsessive with it, consequently easily identifiable as such.
  4. Other professions aren't as identifiable, or online.
