I am also not familiar with train terminology meaning in America. What does it mean?

[-] KISSmyOSFeddit@lemmy.world 265 points 6 months ago

"To run a train on someone" means you and a lot of your friends have sex with them, one after another.

[-] noride@lemm.ee 106 points 6 months ago

You have to open with "Chugga Chugga Choo Choo, we're all gonna run a train on you!" Or it's just a plain ole gangbang.

[-] anarchrist@lemmy.dbzer0.com 22 points 6 months ago

From the Orgy region of France

[-] humorlessrepost@lemmy.world 16 points 6 months ago* (last edited 6 months ago)

Also a gangbang is many to many, while a train is many to one.

[-] grue@lemmy.world 90 points 6 months ago* (last edited 6 months ago)

No, you're thinking of an orgy. Trains and gangbangs are both many-to-one, with the difference between them being that the former is sequential while the latter is simultaneous.

Linux shouldn’t let itself be slutshamed. Linux should proud of what a good little slut it is.

Also seeing the Nitter theme like a year after its death hits hard.

[-] jkozaka@lemm.ee 13 points 6 months ago

We still have other nitter intances like nitter.poast.net at least.

"You know when you run many commands in the terminal with &&? Like that but with penises."

This comment combines two of life's experiences that are usually seperate.

[-] hydroptic@sopuli.xyz 65 points 6 months ago* (last edited 6 months ago)

unzip && strip && touch && finger && grep && mount && fsck && more && yes && fsck && fsck && umount && clean && sleep

Edit: and yes, this joke is older than the gods as evidenced by the presence of finger, and I'm not sure clean is a thing in modern UN*X distros. Not in FreeBSD at any rate

[-] pipows@lemmy.today 16 points 6 months ago

I can't read fsck as anything other than "fs check"

Getting (CONSENTUALLY) gangbanged by A LOT of guys, like enough that it starts to involve logistics planning to accommodate that many people being in a single space at one time.

[-] lugal@lemmy.world 50 points 6 months ago

You guys have a word for this??? We have words like Weltschmerz or Schadenfreude but having a word for this is wild

[-] PhlubbaDubba@lemm.ee 34 points 6 months ago

Less a formalized word and more a turn of phrase

We have a lot of them for sex related stuff due to a looooooong history of how the culture around what's considered vulgar has developed

[-] CptEnder@lemmy.world 23 points 6 months ago* (last edited 6 months ago)

Oh we got a word for schadenfreude, it's called electoral politics here.

[-] lugal@lemmy.world 14 points 6 months ago

I guess that's the new zeitgeist now

Sorry i am foreigner too.... what is the train terminology reffered to here?

[-] nickwitha_k@lemmy.sdf.org 98 points 6 months ago

Just explained this to my Irish wife. To "run a train on someone" in American slang would mean having group sex with that person, potentially consecutively.

[-] DragonTypeWyvern@midwest.social 27 points 6 months ago

Trains are consecutive or it's just a boring old gangbang

You know how in a train one carriage comes after the other? One ends, then the next one starts?

Running a train on someone means one guy after the other banging them.

[-] arin@lemmy.world 14 points 6 months ago

I'm American and I have no clue. I'm also a gooner so this must be fringe af

[-] Siethron@lemmy.world 19 points 6 months ago

This is not fringe at all. There's way your a gooner and don't know what this means. People even use the terminology to describe the Sex scene Stephen King randomly put in "IT". It's a gangbang but one at a time.

I hate how the US has sexualized every random word or sentence. I'm here telling my American friend how funny it is that German's call smart phones a "handy", like "haha silly random word that makes sense tho haha :)", but no, ma American bud breaks down laughing imagining German's giving each other hand jobs.

Also the constant stopping during any sentence to go "oh, I know what YOU'RE thinking, get your mind out of the gutter!". No, I don't, and now I have the privilege of trying to remember every single word that wa just said and trying to see what inside there could possibly be a penis. This from of "joke" never fails to annoy the shit out of me. Like please can we just continue, or do you really have to recite this copy pasta while I stare like an absolute dunce at you?

[-] JPSound@lemmy.world 45 points 6 months ago* (last edited 6 months ago)

Sounds like your friend is just some dumbass who's trying to fit something in there that just doesn't. ...that's what she said

[-] raspberriesareyummy@lemmy.world 30 points 6 months ago

I just had a light bulb moment as to what it is that annoys me about a large portion of US-american men: all the "dudes" temper & behaviour is adolescent - as if they never made it past puberty. Which perfectly fits the sexualized language being funny to those guys.

[-] MrShankles@reddthat.com 31 points 6 months ago

Uhh... your mom never made it past puberty?

Got 'em!!! Fucking burn dude!

From henceforth, distro hopping will be known as running a train on Linux.

What if train have kernel panic

[-] Maalus@lemmy.world 34 points 6 months ago

In Polish, kernel directly translates to "testicle". So it basically says that the testicle panicked.

But wait. Do most actual trains use the linux kernel? I thought most ones were those traditional cargo ones, without any kind of computing system.

[-] You999@sh.itjust.works 41 points 6 months ago

In the US I can comfirm both GE (freight and passenger) and siemens passenger locomotives run Linux. Some passenger trainsets/cars still run embedded XP.

Pretty much all locomotives running out there today have a plethora of computers for managing fuel economy, brakes, and positive train control (rules compliance). Fun fact: the union pacific's 4104 'big boy' steam engine was fitted with wabtec's I-ETMS PTC which is powered by Linux so there's literally a steam powered locomotive running Linux.

Shit, that's funny.

[-] user1234@lemmynsfw.com 17 points 6 months ago

My first thought was that he meant that trains were run on Windows Me. That is a scary thought indeed.

[-] wide_eyed_stupid@lemmy.world 13 points 6 months ago

I had to look up the meaning and now I can only imagine the confusion this person must have felt, before he figured it out, lol.
