    The 2N3904 isn’t “minimum requirements for Linux” - it’s one bipolar transistor, and a Linux-capable computer still needs a CPU made from vastly more transistors, plus RAM, storage, clocking, buses, and supporting hardware. Not funny.

      Normal Person: “I’m so hungry I could eat a horse”

      bnn1: “WELL, ACTUALLY, thats a lie because the average human stomach can only hold a maximum of about 4 liters of equivalent content, and a horses edible components break down into a far greater volume than 4 liters, as you should well know, making it fundamentally impossible for a human beings stomach, much less body, to be able to consume even a fraction of a horse before suffering egregious emergency harm. Not Funny”

        I think humor should still be truthful, because plenty of people will believe whatever they read online and then repeat it as fact.

        Honestly, this could even be a Chinese campaign to make Americans stupider. They’d benefit from that.

        The previous paragraph is a completely made-up misinformation - exactly the kind of thing people can easily believe and spread. Which helps nobody. Except China.

          Just in: Humor makes you stupid!

          This contradicts all previous research linking humor to intellect.
