@daedalus Mind you, does anyone know how to turn on a computer? Mine always seem quite disinterested.

@allrite @daedalus well, mine certainly gets all hot and grinds to a halt when I just want to get work done

@daedalus there is no robust proof that turning on a computer is safe

JP

Perhaps widen the scope even further.

A black screen with orange text saying "It's never safe to turn on a computer."

@daedalus maybe it's never computer to turn on safe...

I have added these designs to my RedBubble shop. They should show up shortly, once the RB backend has done whatever processing it needs to do. redbubble.com/people/eigenmagi

@daedalus Also “Turn off the computer. It was not safe to turn on in the first place"

JP

What do you mean by "safe"?

A black screen with orange text that asks "What do you mean by 'safe'?"
JP

It's not safe to turn off your computer. There are enemies nearby.

@daedalus Frankly, it’s not even safe to be around a computer. Someone else may have turned it on.
