Just like hackers need an black hoodie. And where can I get one? Is a simple costume one enough or do I need an expensive one?

Sry I'm new here.

You wouldn't download a hat.

You need a boat. How do you sail the high seas without a boat.

I don't know where to get the boat tho.

[–] Shayeta@feddit.de 18 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Don't you DARE call my mighty vessel a boat. It's a ship, A SHIP!! You feebleminded SIMPLETON!

[–] Chais@sh.itjust.works 3 points 10 months ago

If I learned anything from Luffy it's that you can call any ship a boat 😁

Stan S.Stanman sells some used ones for great prices.

This is a common misconception. A ski mask is both effective and very adaptable. The pirate hat is antiquated, bulky, and has a much more restrictive use case. If you're in a pinch you can just use a face mask. It also has the advantage of preventing malware, but any experienced user would take the ski mask over an N95 for flexibility.

[–] Skelectus@suppo.fi 1 points 10 months ago

Seconded. A ski mask is great and versatile choice for a beginner. It suits both activities that OP mentioned, and more. Some of the more specialised headgear may become relevant later with experienced though.

Hat? Unnecessary. But an eye-patch helps reduce nausea when using VR goggles to search for booty.

[–] JoeKrogan@lemmy.world 10 points 10 months ago

This was all covered in the on boarding process. We'll let it slide this time but next time have your hat on or you'll have to walk the plank 😄

[–] Froyn@kbin.social 7 points 10 months ago

Nah, as long as you buy it dinner first, or at least try to connect on an emotional level, it'll let you enter.

[–] Urist@lemmy.ml 7 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Follow the pirate code and share the spoils, i.e. be seeding.

[–] LocustOfControl@reddthat.com 1 points 10 months ago

Those rules be more of a guideline though.

[–] sheepishly@kbin.social 6 points 10 months ago

I've got a big pirate flag hanging up in my room, is that good enough?

[–] HipsterTenZero@dormi.zone 6 points 10 months ago

A bandana is fine if you have one.

[–] onevia@lemmy.blahaj.zone 5 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Think about renting a parrot. That's what I did for a while before getting my sea legs

[–] snooggums@kbin.social 10 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Imagine the vocabulary of a rented parrot.

What you reallly need is a tattoo of a small plant in a box to represent that you have a seedbox.

[–] SayJess@lemmy.blahaj.zone 5 points 10 months ago

An eye patch will suffice. If you really want to show your dedication, a wooden peg leg would be ideal. I should note that it is a bit difficult to conceal a peg leg in public.

[–] 0ops@lemm.ee 3 points 10 months ago

Not per se, but it is ideal

[–] Harry_h0udini@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 points 10 months ago

Most important: A mindful for seeding the downloads.

[–] majestictechie@lemmy.fosshost.com 2 points 10 months ago

An eye patch, a parrot or a wooden leg will also do

[–] hperrin@lemmy.world 2 points 10 months ago

I find this stereotype offensive.

[–] Omega_Haxors@lemmy.ml 0 points 10 months ago

It comes with.
