"You know you've used linux more than google when typing 'man pipe' into the search bar doesn't instantly seem like a bad idea."

lmao, I wish I knew anything about linux, I bet this would be far more humorous than I already find it.

"man" is the command to open the manual.

What you type after "man" is the manual entry you want to open.

So "man pipe" should get you the manual pages on the "pipe" command.

Whereas Google doesn't think like that, at all.

What's wrong wi--oh.

Just don't use image search.

Hmm, it was a good joke, but I just did an image search and I just got a bunch of old men smoking pipes. Ah well.

With safe search off, I got a few "man pipes" and women wanting "man pipes", but nothing traumatizing.

I didn't make it. I got it, unattributed, from someone else who didn't make it and didn't have an attribution.

Like ursulav and her "black cock" moment.

I was looking for LaTeX info, and entered "latex". Pressed search, understood what I just had done, and still got a few pages of lovely LaTeX geekery first...
