HammerjackHappy Zero Cool Day!
sbvDamn. Zero Cool must be getting pretty close to retirement by now.
ShadowNah crowd strike took his record, so now he’s back at work
This is fine🔥🐶☕🔥The Crown tanked hard in last 2 seasons. Too much focus on Diana.
You underestimate the British obsession with her.
There’s a whole portion of the gutter press that continues to trade based on continuing reporting regarding Diana.
Yeah but what made The Crown amazing was how it approached lesser known aspects of royal family and their orbit.
They could’ve still kept Diana story running in parallel but completely focusing on her was a massive downgrade. Season 3 had Tywysog Cymru which is one of my favourites.
𝕸𝖔𝖘𝖘Zero Cool might have been lying lol
It was said by Lord Nikon not Zero Cool; also it is a quote from the movie Hackers
I am aware. Thus the joke.
Hyperlinking NY Times articles from that day make it seem like you were actually investigating the claim and using those to back it up instead of joking.
EDIT: Interesting to see what articles were actually on that day though.
Ah, makes sense. Nope. Just joking around on what is, arguably, one of the best movies of its time.
Clearly he hacked the archive to cover his tracks.
This is the right answer hahahaha

tetris11They’re all jacked because back then the keyboards were so stiff and the patch cables were so heavy that joining a network and typing in your login credentials burned more calories than a half marathon
tomkattThat’s your idea of jacked? They look like scrawny kids.
mycodesucksSeems pretty jacked to me.
Noodle arms, and I would know
Username checks out
I’m not sure I’ve ever seen a concave bicep before
It’s because of the shutter speed.
To be fair, the more built guys in the scene are what jacked looked like before it was common for normal people to just take steroids. They certainly aren’t what someone that devoted enough time to computer hacking to be the best at it looked like. Since it already takes at least 4 hours a day to look like that without steroids.
Are we looking at the same picture? Zero Cool has the best physique of the bunch and he’s only “fit”. None of their bodies require 4 hrs of gym time a day, unless they’re trying to burn through like 4k calories using only a flat treadmill.
Go back and look at what people who spent hours in a gym per day looked like 50 years ago. Exercise hasn’t changed, the only thing that has changed is what people take while exercising. It’s even become common for people to admit they are taking steroids and not be ashamed of it anymore.
Back when this movie came out, that was a 4 hours a day gym body.
It is a matter of efficiency. 4 hrs a day is high-intensity full body workout. If 4 hrs a day got you looking like that, you were not using your time efficiently. I guess, we need to define what you consider “going to/using the gym”.
I’m just a guy who’s been in some gyms, but most, normal dedicated people are in and out in about 2 hrs. They hit their target bodyparts and bounce. More than that and I’d assume you have to wait for machines, you’re lazing around, or you’re an athlete/in action movies.
And then, even beyond efficiency, it’s about the body’s ability to sustain any decent workout for 4 whole hours. The Rock might manage all that with the supplements he’s taking and he still crams down thousands of calories to fuel himself. And none of these guys have the bulked weightlifter bodies.
Or they just run for 4 hrs. But I wouldn’t really call that a “gym body”.
If you have a source where these actors claim their physique is the result of 4 hrs of daily work in the gym, then I’ll take up my complaint with them. But I’m gonna hard disagree every day of the week.
I just mean our perspective of what strong looks like has been so shifted by steroids becoming main stream.
Like this is a bit of an outrageous example, but pranks like this are only possible because people can’t possibly believe one of the strongest people on the planet can look this small.

lol dude this is a lot of cope. Work out 30-60 min most days a week and make sure you’re eating a surplus including lots of protein and this is achievable in a few months
I get what you’re going for, 100% things have shifted. Absolutely true.
But I’m not taking steroids, and I’m not spending 4 hours a day at the gym, and I basically have the same arms as that guy. At least in this photo. Maybe he’s more jacked than he looks in the rest of the movie, I haven’t seen it in a while, and I don’t have shredded abs or anything. I’m not impressively fit. But I have arms that look kinda like that.
I think you’ve taken the steroids thing, which again is a legit thing, and maybe swung fully in the other direction and decided any muscle at all is a modern creation? Some dudes have arms. Just, attached to their shoulders.
I’m roughly as big as him and I don’t spend four hours a day in the gym. Nor do I take steroids.
SkunkWorkzThe Rock is a good example of how the image of a jacked male body has changed to the extreme. In his old movies he looks skinny compared to his monstrous body he has today. Even though back then people thought he was quite buff.
UndercoverUlrikHDSince it already takes at least 4 hours a day to look like that without steroids.
No that’s not true. You could train 3 times a week with 1 hour workouts and get a similar result as long as you’re consistent. 4 hours at the gym is too much time unless you take excessive rest periods and/or uses it as a social arena.
It’s actually pretty funny to see a real power lifter next to a youtube-popular muscle builder, 1/4 the size, but can lift 4x as much.
The strongest powerlifters are huge, and specify in only 3 movements. Take a powerlifter out of those 3 specific movements and bodybuilders doesn’t look all that bad.
Steroids just make muscles that get in the way of utility. Rather than properly useful muscles.
Strongmen are even bigger than bodybuilders and there’s no loss in “functional strength”/utility.
Not a single part of you comment is accurate, are you into fitness/strength sports?
I may have the exact amount of time wrong from what people are saying, and I was assuming he didn’t only work on his arms, but I can concede that since we only see his arms it’s all I really should comment on.
And no I don’t have much interest in it myself. So I probably got specific terms wrong.
The words I should have used are people training specifically to ‘be’ strong versus people training specifically to ‘look’ strong. Whatever the proper words are for that.
The whole focus of my post, other than saying the wrong specific words, is that people’s ideas of what it takes to get strong have been skewed by the prevalence of steroids. It’s now assumed if your muscles are less than an inch thick, you “don’t even lift, bro”. When that kind of size is pretty hard to attain outside of a gym. Like even hard labourers are gonna look like that without lutting in proper time and attention.
I used to lift heavily in high school to help in sports, I’m on the shorter side but I still to this day fill out the sleeves of a typical polo. I haven’t been inside a gym or worked out other than my mostly daily walks in over twenty years and still have relatively defined muscles. I’ve never used anything other than protein powder when I was in high school although I did hit the gym three times a day five days a week back then (my teachers let me skip class to go workout). Nobody is going to mistake me for being cut but I’m also nearing fifty and still have large muscles compared to a lot of people I run into. At this point I have to assume it was from rigorous lifting while I’m my youth and retaining a portion of that or genetics which I’m less inclined to believe but only emotionally because I strongly dislike my bigoted family.
I’m sorry do you not see the biceps on that girl in the blue shirt
Oh man, starting to feel old, Angeline Jolie referred to as blue shirt girl…
DrDystopiaBefore one can hack the planet, one must learn how to hack 1507 computers.
Shoulda stopped at 1,337.
Some people just want to be one better. 170 times.
Mess with the best, die like the rest
ChaoticNeutralCzechIf your command&control center is on dial-up, it’s easier to create a self-propagating virus that does not phone home
See, it’s because 1337 resembles the word “LEET,” short for “elite.”
I know but counting the infected machines and stopping at a specific number is hard if there is limited bandwidth (or no bandwidth in case of sneakerware). So early viruses could not be controlled once released nor tell if there’s 1337 copies already.
The word “1337” is an important part of the hacker lexicon
I know. I’m just saying it was near-impossible to hack exactly 1337 machines in one attack back then.
Not with that attitude
Governments and corporations need people like you and me.

One of the very few movies from 1995 that still holds

I should try this show…
Oh man, what a reference.
Good work, I fell right into that.
Movies aren’t just set at “current moment I’m watching the movie”. Something can hold up while still being set in the past. People did, at that time, shit their pants over all those things.
The US government will still use the same 1986 law they used in the beginning of the 1995 movie Hackers to throw the book at you in 2025 for doing anything online they don’t want you to.
It was so out of touch then that it hasn’t gone out of date
Ain’t shit compared to crowdsrike
Dammit, I wanted to make that reference!
