    The 2N3904 isn’t “minimum requirements for Linux” - it’s one bipolar transistor, and a Linux-capable computer still needs a CPU made from vastly more transistors, plus RAM, storage, clocking, buses, and supporting hardware. Not funny.

        I think humor should still be truthful, because plenty of people will believe whatever they read online and then repeat it as fact.

        Honestly, this could even be a Chinese campaign to make Americans stupider. They’d benefit from that.

        The previous paragraph is a completely made-up misinformation - exactly the kind of thing people can easily believe and spread. Which helps nobody. Except China.

          This contradicts all previous research linking humor to intellect.
