Mmm, bowl of serial
@catsalad experiments Lain.
@catsalad As a professional cable collector and sorter, you monster.
@catsalad are you a serial killer

@catsalad That’s not what they meant when they said you need more iron in your diet!

(Yes I know it’s not iron.)

@catsalad easy, quick, cheap and caloric! the perfect breakfast for the modern white collar worker!
@fuchsiii @catsalad do not exceed 115200/8/N/1 when sober and 9600/8/N/1 when intoxicated!
@catsalad low fat db9 instead of full fat db25 I see
@catsalad I'm just imagining you hunting around holding milk looking for the cable laughing maniacally while you family stares in confusion
@catsalad SCHLORP SCHLORP SCHLORP
@catsalad Too many bits for me...
@catsalad
Hi, cable collector here. Cables only do this when they're very distressed. Have a nice day.
@catsalad Ugh, that one hurt.
@catsalad A bowl of serial connectors, breakfast of champions 😂
@catsalad just hope it's using a vegan protocol...
@catsalad question if it is rice milk, will it dry faster ?
@catsalad
I kind of hate myself for boosting that toot.
@catsalad Made me laugh way more than it should.
@catsalad I don't want to milk the pun, but trying to consume a packet this way one byte at a time would drive me fruit loopy.
@catsalad
User: my connection has gone down
Help Desk: can you see the serial cable?
User: Yes. It's in a bowl of milk
Help Desk: Full fat or skimmed?
User: Skimmed
Help Desk: That's your problem then <closes ticket>
@catsalad eat up! You don’t want to miss the bus!
@catsalad Not bad, but I raise you a HDMI to Chicken Soup converter.
@jmaris @catsalad is it bad i would actually buy this junk for the giggles?
@jmaris @catsalad Got excited for a moment. It doesn't turn hdmi cables into chicken soup tho does it? :(

@jmaris

I have been looking EVERYWHERE for one of these!!!!!

@jmaris @catsalad My favourite is the USB wine dispenser.

@catsalad

Ah yes—unsweetened, cable-fed Oatronics. A bold breakfast choice.

@catsalad I tried that a long time ago but I ended up with a SCSI port.
@catsalad surely that's a work of modern SCART?
@catsalad An RS-232 caught in the wild? Impressive. I have a few myself, but they're of the farmed, domesticated variety and they're very old.
@catsalad Lined up right next to this is a fortified wine from the Douro Valley.
Dunking a perfectly functional serial cable in milk? What are cha, a serial (cable) killer?
@catsalad @heli i had to see this, now you do too
@hugo we got a contender for your punch line fave
@catsalad Ah, a connoisseur, putting in the milk first, then the serial!

@catsalad and this is why there's a box on the management network named luckycharms.

it's a serial server...
