RULES:

Your post must be a screen capture of a microblog-type post that includes the UI of the site it came from, preferably also including the avatar and username of the original poster. Including relevant comments made to the original post is encouraged.
Your post, included comments, or your title/comment should include some kind of commentary or remark on the subject of the screen capture. Your title must include at least one word relevant to your post.
You are encouraged to provide a link back to the source of your screen capture in the body of your post.
Current politics and news are allowed, but discouraged. There MUST be some kind of human commentary/reaction included (either by the original poster or you). Just news articles or headlines will be deleted.
Doctored posts/images and AI are allowed, but discouraged. You MUST indicate this in your post (even if you didn't originally know). If an image is found to be fabricated or edited in any way and it is not properly labeled, it will be deleted.
Absolutely no NSFL content.
Be nice. Don't take anything personally. Take political debates to the appropriate communities. Take personal disagreements & arguments to private messages.
No advertising, brand promotion, or guerrilla marketing.

It's crazy what we do, and to think most people have no clue of all the crazy physics that has to happen for some of their most basic activities everyday.

Back in high school, a buddy of mine mused about something that still itches my brain.

When they built the first computer. How the fuck did they figure out how to "make it turn on"? Like... the first boot cycle.

Really makes you appreciate some of the insanely complex stuff that we take for granted.

I'm not really sure what you mean. The first computers didn't have an OS or anything. They just took the input and applied the assigned operation.

This gets more advanced when you want a BIOS loaded first, but it's not particularly complex. It does the same as above, but the first instructions jump to the BIOS, which itself is just another set of instructions that initialize things.
