Ive Had Enough in my ass

you only need to clean your spoon

Don't you need to clean the rice cooker?

I'm not trying to be a smartass, I'm just that desperate that I'm hoping to find out you don't need to.

What if you want ease on a terminal?

In a professional context, you might end up on servers that don't have nano installed, but do have vi. Or if you're helping out a friend on their laptop, they might not have the same software as you. Or if you often end up tinkering with random devices and/or setting up new systems it might be tedious to install the same applications every time.

It's basically an argument for learning the very basics of the most common editors so you have flexibility no matter where you end up. Even when you have the ability to download and install your preferred software, it's still an extra step that might not be desirable for a variety of reasons. But if it's just your own personal device, I see no problem with just installing whatever you prefer and running with it.

EDIT: Personally, I find that I don't end up using those other editors often enough to remember the abstruse commands of tools like vim, so I'm not worried about it. When it does happen, 99% of the time I can just whip out a smartphone and look up the directions for the n-dozenth time.

I'm the same way with mushroom spots.

Accuracy aside, I would love to see someone take this idea and turn it into a parody/remake from their perspective in the style of "Harold and Kumar go to Whitecastle".

Trigger warning: explaining jokes in way too much detail.

The phrasing is a reference to the "Is this a pigeon?" meme (see: https://knowyourmeme.com/memes/is-this-a-pigeon ). This is meant to indicate that this is clearly not egg_irl, but the topic of the original post seemed like something repressed trans people can relate to in hindsight. It reminded me of a common pattern among eggs where there's a vague but insistent internal voice (not literally a voice, more like an occasional impulse) telling you to do things that you associate with your actual gender, rather than your assigned gender, with varying effects depending on the person. For example, it generally made me feel uncomfortable without understanding why, leading me to assume I simply didn't like those things, when in fact that was more or less the opposite of the truth.

Anyway, these sorts of things can make the idea of an unknown, voiceless, internal personality separate from your surface-level persona resonate with trans people. Add the fact that when you're deeply involved in gender issues and transitioning, it's so much on your mind that there's a tendency to interpret everything as being somehow related to gender even when it isn't, and it seemed like a good fit for the pigeon meme.

Is this egg_irl?

ROFL, I always wondered if that was intentional or not. Thanks for solving the mystery!

It's basically meat sauce between burger buns. I haven't had one in ages, but they would make frequent appearances in grade school cafeterias and other events involving large amounts of children needing to be fed with low effort. I remember quite liking them; it's basic, but great comfort food, and easy to eat.

You can do all that without force push. Just make a new branch and do the cleanup before the first push there. Allowing force push just invites disaster from junior developers who don't know what they're doing. If you want to clean up after them, that's your business, I guess.
