You just happened to stumble across the stupidest motherfucker alive. Probably alive. Those risky decisions don’t take themselves.

  • A lot of people have trouble getting motivated.

    Your comment made me chuckle a little bit.

    I ask myself that same question every day. What’s the point of anything? Do I really need to get out of bed, get to work, eat food, climb out of the debt trap I’m in or even browse Lemmy?

    Something like this could help ease that daily question from myself. If it doesn’t work, it’s fine. Worth a shot. Free is cheaper than recreational drugs.




  • Maybe half ass it a little bit

    If they’re not compensating you for giving 150% of your energy, then don’t give them 150% of your energy.

    Like, tell them you need to catch a breath, take a “smoke break” (even if you don’t smoke, mime vape a lil ink pen in the smoking section). Rehydrate more, piss more. Say you’re dizzy. Come up with something.





  • I have some neat toys and some utilities that other newbies might enjoy.

    edit: gmornin

    Let me know if there are better alternatives or if anything listed here is malware
    Sorry if tool already listed, adhd hitting hard today

    “Screensavers”
    Aesthetically pleasing to have open on a second monitor.

    • cmatrix: That character scrolling effect from the matrix
    • cbonsai: Little ASCII art bonsai tree that can be animated with the -l flag
    • cacademo A bunch of ASCII animations. Apparently installed by default in many distros? Had no idea
    • spotify-tui Spotify CLI frontend

    ASCII fun
    Fun to make your shell scripts and .zshrc/.bashrc files obnoxiously zany.

    • toilet/figlet ASCII text art.
    • jp2a Turn image files into ASCII art
    • cowsay generates ASCII art pictures of a cow with a message
    • neofetch Spits out a cool system info summary with the distro logo in ASCII art

    File inspection
    Useful if you want to quickly look at a source file without opening a text editor

    • src-hilite-lesspipe.sh Syntax highlight files. I think its pre-installed on GNU systems
    • ccat Colourful cat. Also syntax highlighter
    • glow Markdown file renderer

    Prompt help
    Very useful if you learned to type the wrong way.

    • zsh-completions Additional zsh autocompletions
    • zsh-syntax-highlighting colourizes your Zsh prompt commands. Green=good, red=you misspelled “python” again, moron
    • thefuck corrects your previous prompt that you fucked up

    Obvious ones, often preinstalled:

    • curl/wget: grab files from the internet
    • nmap: lets you audit your network. See if you have anyone leeching off your wifi.
    • ssh: Remotely access your machines. Can be dangerous if you don’t read the manual.
    • git: Version control, mainly for source code, but also very useful to locally keep track of any kinds of file changes you make.
    • gnupg: needed to set up keys for ssh and git i think. cant remember
