It's worth noting that a real nerd uses the most efficient tools at his disposal, which is basically never assembler code.
How is assembly not the most efficient? It's just a direct textual representation of machine code.

Different valuations of efficiency. In this case the purpose was to transmit information from one human to another, making it markedly less efficient than just typing the sentence. Unless you're trying to suggest that Yoink is actually a robot.

He can probably just read the vertical letters though. No need to find some way to run it, it's basically just a sentence with extra parsley.

And that makes it inefficient.

Hard science is like a sword, and soft science is like fear. You can use both to equally powerful results, but even if your opponent disbelieve your stabs, they will still die.

What if you extract loads of subtext and contextual information from the parsley? Certainly more efficient than actually listening!

The conversation next to me on campus rn

I mean there's discussing your sex life and then there's listing off people that you've had a fling with, in a public space with Lord knows who around, namely me like five feet away from the center of the conversation

And I don't even know what's going on now but there's pictures being exchanged

It's amusing but also kinda cringey. Music is going back on now

In every single one of my classes, there's always at least one person (usually two) sitting next to me who is constantly shaking their leg. It's extremely irritating and distracting. Logic tells me it's probably just random chance and negativity bias, but I'm beginning to wonder if I'm one of only an elite few that can manage to keep their limbs still for prolonged periods of time. I'm guessing they all drive to school then drink caffeinated beverages, or something.

I sit in the front row, so that somewhat limits my sample size of visible people. If I sat further back, I'd have to see even more people fidgeting.

i shake my leg all the time

some people just do that more often than others, no reason to blame it on their actions and act all superior by posting in the cringe thread
