New sticker idea.
Though this is probably more accurate.
Perhaps widen the scope even further.
What do you mean by "safe"?
It's not safe to turn off your computer. There are enemies nearby.
It's not safe to turn off your computer.
Someone is wrong on the internet.
It's now safe to turn off the internet.
It's now safe to turn off the Internet, because there's only one of them.
@daedalus
It’s childproof now, so it can be left unsupervised.
What a relief.
@daedalus in high school one of my friends changed the MacOS shutdown message to "it is now safe to pour water into your macintosh"
@daedalus It was 1995. "Internet" should be capitalized! 😢
@daedalus my wife’s parents used to turn off the internet every night. In 2015.
@andrewharvey @daedalus what did they know
@colourfool @daedalus They learned the hard way that the internet is where the scammers are.

@daedalus

It is now safe to turn your computer off, you have corrected all the grammar

@daedalus Oblig XKCD: "I can't come to bed, this is important. Someone is wrong on the internet!"
@daedalus, everybody wants to be your enemy!
@daedalus You're not safe from being turned off.
@daedalus @spacekookie Cow is looking at you from the bushes. Won't let you turn off your computer.
@daedalus use this

@vovanium

Just for future reference, apply an undercoat of "olive drab" paint and then apply the wording:
FRONT TOWARD ENEMY

Just be sure that you've left no fingerprints...
...in case the bomb squad "take an interest" in your work!

@daedalus @DosFox “Just when you thought it was safe to turn off the computer…”
@daedalus i think this is the exact thing some primal instinct of someone is saying while the person is doomscrolling
@daedalus can we get this one but with „turn on“?

@daedalus This has been driving me insane for about twelve hours now, what is the original quote and its context for this one?

Somebody please put me out of my misery.

@daedalus are you "safe" right now?

@daedalus maybe it's never computer to turn on safe...
@daedalus ... and that's why I will keep doing it!
@daedalus Also “Turn off the computer. It was not safe to turn on in the first place"
@daedalus and what about robotgirls/-boys/-enbys/-entities? ​

@daedalus

Operating computers enable Skynet.

@daedalus "Otherwise the computer will turn on you."
@daedalus Mind you, does anyone know how to turn on a computer? Mine always seem quite disinterested.
@daedalus at least take it out to dinner first

@daedalus Now I wish I had a black laptop.
@daedalus I want these stickers to put on everyone's computers at work!
@daedalus that orange, spot on going from memory at least
@daedalus Plenty of this going around, I'm surprised no one posted what Linux says on AT machines after shutdown.

@daedalus Frankly, it’s not even safe to be around a computer. Someone else may have turned it on.
@daedalus wasn't this in a whole tumblr of windows 9x creepypasta stuff a decade ago, or something very similar to it
@daedalus ...just when you thought it was safe to go back online...
@daedalus You can't turn off your computer, there are enemies nearby.
@archydragon @daedalus How many of them are inside the computer though?
@archydragon @daedalus

It is pitch black. You are likely to be eaten by a grue.
@archydragon @daedalus You must gather your party before turning off your computer
@daedalus a friend i had had something similar, as his wallpaper
@daedalus a friend of mine had a wallpaper like this, saying "ITs now save to throw away your computer.
@daedalus Never was. Never will be.
@daedalus Why I keep my eyes closed when I do.

@daedalus
Oh I would definitely make a bunch of these for Defcon

It's very Robert Morris's apocryphal laws for computer security
