When returning your work laptop, don't forget to leave IT a little stroopwafel... as a treat!

@catsalad So THAT'S what that tray is for!

@catsalad

And now we know what happened to us-west-2

@catsalad oh, i remember when laptops had built-in cupholders
@krishean @catsalad I never liked the laptop cup holders, they were so flimsy and spilled my drink way too often. I wish they made 'em as sturdy as the desktop computer cup holders!
@catsalad Wasn't it for storing cookies????????
@umapyoi @catsalad Well, they are delicious delicacies.
@catsalad What if my IT team prefers meat? Is a slice of deli ham okay, instead?

@Coldforge @catsalad Just leave them a scratch-card.

@catsalad I miss laptops with built in stroopwafel warning trays.
@catsalad ohhh it's so good when you eject a fresh one and the caramel is all gooey 😋
@catsalad They still make laptops with slide-out cup holders??
@catsalad That's probably a good storage medium if you encode every bit as either long- or short chain carbohydrate. The storage density would be insane.
@catsalad My work laptop does not have a stroopwafel tray, but maybe I can fit a tostito in the SD card slot.

@catsalad

We can put a man near the moon.

We should have had 3d waffle printers by now.

@catsalad never design a removable digital storage medium when you're hungry

@catsalad

Nobody makes laptops with stroopwafel trays anymore. It's quite sad.

@catsalad you'll soon grow to love the weird taste of... Internet Stroopwafel
@catsalad this is why they need to bring back disk drives in laptops, you either put a dvd with analog horror burned to it if you're feeling evil, or you leave a cookie or stroopwafel if you're feeling nice
@catsalad Mein Gott! How old is this laptop? A cd drawer😯
@catsalad Imagine if someone actually did something like that. Or worse. They return a laptop and you open it and it's all sticky inside with syrup or something.
@catsalad my work laptop only has usbc ports.
not enough space for a stroopwaffel
@kura only very, very tiny stroopwafel :(
@catsalad I have absolutely 100% used a laptop vent to warm up a stroopwafel before

@0xabad1dea @catsalad
Oh yeah? Well I have used a laptop vent to heat up / melt a chocolate bar.

... Not on purpose, though.

@0xabad1dea @catsalad Back in the days of CRT monitors, I had a monster 17" screen that generated sufficient heat so as to properly warm two poptarts in their foil pouch just in time for a mid-morning snack 😋
@catsalad hmmmmm lekker. Een stroopwafel.
@catsalad I bet VLC can play it.

@catsalad

"Why did you overclock your Core I9 so much?"

or,

"Look ma! This thrift store laptop comes with a waffle maker!"

@catsalad Laptops don't tend to have disk drives any more.
@catsalad when did you last get a laptop with a cd drive? have they got you on a decade old machine?
@dysfun @catsalad
the laptop I got in 2018 had an optical drive they are not that old 😭
@tthbaltazar @catsalad lying around the flat, most the laptops from last decade do not have cd rom drives.

@dysfun @catsalad
weh?!?

but that laptop was bought brand new

@tthbaltazar @catsalad yeah and we have two macbooks here from the second half of that decade without cdrom drives.
@tthbaltazar @dysfun @catsalad that’s consumer devices. business laptops have gotten rid of this stuff way earlier, mostly since they also got smaller earlier and getting rid of the optical drive was a good way to do that
@catsalad @SecureOwl Stroopwafels, crepes, Swedish pancakes, or scallion pancakes if you think they'll prefer something more umami
@catsalad Sad new computers don't come with the stroopwafel draw anymore. 😭
@catsalad heel lekker 😋 bedankt 🙏
@catsalad at first sight I thought it was a WafeR
