I haven’t seen The Thing (1982) but I think it’s about how Mac and Windows go to Antarctica and the Linux penguin kills them

of course it starts out in the form of a penguin because it’s trying to fit into Antarctica. but then it turns out to be almost infinitely customizable. and of course the dizzying variety of different distros comes across as body horror to the “I’m a mac” and “I’m a PC” guys

then the mac gets so stressed it can’t even run its chess program anymore

like i said. I haven’t watched the movie. I only ever watch 1 movie and it is also from 1982 but it’s not that one. it definitely affects my thoughts about all other movies tho <3
