Calls a static method on the OldMan class instead of the instance of oldMan that is actually dying.

WHY IS THE HEALTH INPUT PARAMETER A GODDAMN STRING?????????????

Why are you passing ‘%’ inside said goddamn string?!?! Not to mention the static reference instead of the actual instance.

Shame on you

Also putting sudo in front of what looks like Java code not shell.

I guess its just a reminder that getting a PhD is often more about dedication than it is about practical knowledge.

[–] Buddahriffic@lemmy.world 23 points 3 months ago

Because the meme wasn't made by someone with a doctorate in CS or even a bachelor's.

Smells like JavaScript.

[–] lud@lemm.ee 18 points 3 months ago (1 children)

It's not his fault the world is made this way.

He just has to follow it or else that man dies.

sudo rm /heart/arteries/**/clot

[–] AmbiguousProps@lemmy.today 90 points 3 months ago (1 children)

Very important to not hit enter before clot.

[–] Technus@lemmy.zip 37 points 3 months ago (1 children)

That's why you have backups.

I feel like if your body follows the Unix filesystem structure, you have a real problem.

[–] BleatingZombie@lemmy.world 19 points 3 months ago (4 children)

Please forgive my ignorance. What does ** do?

[–] gaylord_fartmaster@lemmy.world 23 points 3 months ago (2 children)

Acts as a wildcard for any directories that exist between arteries and clot.

It's a glob pattern (edit: tried to find a source that actually showed ** in use).

See that's the issue, he should have tried stopping the cardiac arrest process instead of just resetting the man to the beginning of it

I wish there was a last panel of the old guy getting revived, I think it would be funny

[–] nyan@lemmy.cafe 9 points 3 months ago

bash: sudo: command not found

After all, we don't know that he has it installed, especially if he's running a really old distro.

[–] hakunawazo@lemmy.world 8 points 3 months ago* (last edited 3 months ago)

Just turn him off and on again.
