Why is there an adjustable monkey puking into null coming out of the Nautilus?

Edit also what's the fork for :psyduck:

[in an extremely greybeard voice]

In Unix, you type commands into a program called a shell. If you don't care about the output of a command, you redirect it into /dev/null, a "pseudo-device" that accepts anything you write to it but throws it all away.

A lot of the other stuff is just "we labeled jars with Unix commands" but there's some other nerdy bullshit I'll tediously point out:

  • The wizard's hat says "su", which stands for "substitute user" and is a command frequently used to become 'root', the most powerful user on the system. So it's a magical hat, basically
  • His robe has a bunch of special characters you'll usually see when programming; these special characters are sometimes called sigils, as in "a sign or image supposedly having magical power"
  • The cup/jar labeled 'B' is empty and cracked, because the B programming language was superceded by C but kept around for a while for legacy reasons.
  • "Fork" is how you create a new process in Unix; similarly, the spool of thread represents, well, threads.
  • This is a little more of a guess, but I think the guy outside the window represents the process reaper, which basically cleans up programs after they exit.
  • There is a program in Unix called "cat"

Why do I know this? Wasted youth.

Edit: worst snipe.

That's where I got it from. As it was a #blessed picture it needed to be shared.

This may not seem #blessed till you meet the hero of the story.

chickens have such fine control of the movement of their necks because they can't move their eyes. they have to move their heads around to look around.
