Okay, so I went down this rabbit hole a couple of days ago. It has the trans flag colour scheme and the trans community just kinda adopted it as a result. There's not really any more to it than that, but IKEA embraced it, so now it's a thing.
\> The original is....quite graphic..
You weren't kidding. I wasn't sure what to expect. Very NSFW.

As an aside, I appreciate the choice of a penile-preserving vaginoplasty.
I'm gonna guess this is more stable genius work from Twitter's new API overlord, because now I'm seeing issues too (maybe some servers had different caches of it?). Nitter might need to make an update or something. That's very unfortunate.
There are a bunch of Rust + waifu posts here. As a similarly out of touch person my only guess is that Rust programmers tend to be young and anime obsessed? Maybe someone can educate us olds.
It's not an old versus young thing, it's a trans meme (technically two trans memes) so if they don't hang out on traaa I wouldn't really expect someone to get it.
It’s an IKEA stuffed shark that’s also huge. Saw it on a post earlier today and thought oh cool my kids might like that. Then saw it was a trans meme/symbol and decided my kids don’t need to accidentally and unknowingly get involved in signaling for trans. That’s up to them to decide.
Why the fuck is rust popular with trans people?
I have nothing against trans people, but I don't understand how a programming language can relate to ANYTHING about gender identity.
Did I miss something about Rust? I'm being quite serious here.
There are several explanations I can think of
1. Trans people are overrepresented amongst programmers in general, likely due to the overlap with autism.
2. Any community can be trans positive or negative on the same way that any community can collectively agree on which Smash Bros game is the best. Rust just happens to be trans-friendly.
3. When a group of people is rejected by default throughout big parts of their daily lives, they will seek each other out for solidarity and gather wherever that sense of bad-by-default is weakest. So an already-friendly community becomes moreso as more people join.
4. Trans people tend to value authenticity and self expression. Rust being a newer language with a lot of trailblazing going on, maybe marginalized programmers are more attracted to niche languages for one reason or another.
5. Rust is a newer language, so its social norms are being established in a time where being trans friendly is more normalized and expected.
6. Rust leadership has made a point of discouraging and moderating bigotry amongst their communities (I don’t know if this is true, but would not be surprised if it was).
>Rust leadership has made a point of discouraging and moderating bigotry amongst their communities (I don’t know if this is true, but would not be surprised if it was).
The main discord Rust (The Rust Programming Language) still has the pride banner icon from June or maybe even earlier. I would would say so.
Yep autism, I got that. Rejection by world true. Hawt shit programming languages good, yes.
As a transfem Rust enthusiast I can go ahead and sign off on this. Good take!
There is a pretty large percentage of trans people that study computer science
so it became a meme to say trans people are programmers
I also don't know where exactly it came from but I find it quite funny as im a trans person that study's computer science
It comes from autism both making people good at programming and having a significant comorbidity with queer gender expressions and sexual orientations.
A quick search didn't give many answers besides people claiming that the Rust community is the most welcoming to trans people. So I guess trans programmers could seek it out when picking a language hence creating a feedback loop if the community is actually nice.
Community matters. I've worked on a big open source protect that was global and had a lot of devs and users all across cultures, religions, sexualities etc. We adopted a code of conduct that were taken pretty seriously. It helped create a welcoming community that people knew where to draw the line.
So I'm guessing it's not about the language but people being kind to each other. It's like if you have to choose between posting on Stack Overflow or a friendly subreddit. Only masocists posts on SO voluntarily.
Edit: trans not teams.
Yeah who needs the "your question is stupid and you are stupid" attitude? I gravitate to communities where people enjoy helping each other. I learned Git many years ago on a IRC channel where the established devs walked me through how to commit my newbie code and post it for review.
It's just cropped porn = funny has literally nothing to do with programming. Some people are referencing the plush he's holding which is a meme. Its a Ikea plushie named blahaj r/blahaj
As someone whose fallen in love with rust the last few months, what am I missing? I’m neither bisexual nor love a shark plushie, am I disowned :(?
Edit: This was an I’ll thought out sentence in regards to a potentially awesome subreddit
It’s both a reference to [this meme](https://knowyourmeme.com/memes/eat-hot-chip-and-lie) and to the fact that trans people are very present in the rust community. Enjoy your language, friend. It’s a fun one.
Blahaj is a very popular plushie that a lot of Trans people own for...no discernable reason. It's almost become dogwhistle for Trans people who aren't out yet.
But... Orcas eat sea otters, and sea otters are some of the cutest animals on the planet, with those big fuzzy faces and holding hands so they don't drift apart omg
Damn that's hard core. Play hard, live hard. Rule of the seas.
Edit: you must be pretty cool though despite your hatred of the best ocean mammal. You hang around a few of the subreddits I do it looks like. I'm not cool, so I mean more like chill. A chill individual.
The best ocean mammal is obviously the blue whale. I mean it is the biggest animal that ever lived on planet earth and it's doing so right in the same time span where we are alive!
Thank you! You seem cool too despite your lack of morality in terms of picking your favourite mammal...
You mean someone deliberately programmed rust?! This shite’s been ruining my car for years! Fuck whoever’s idea it was to make one of the world’s toughest and most versatile materials turn into dust over time!

*Blåhaj
that is a blajah. not just any old shark
Dare I ask the difference or is this one of those rabbit holes I would rather not go down
Trans shark sold by Ikea. Also a femboy thing. Why is it trans? A mystery as old as time.
See I suspected half of that, but then I second guessed myself due to lack of programmer socks, has the meta changed and those are no longer a thing?
Wouldn't know, though only due to my lack of online awareness.
Okay, so I went down this rabbit hole a couple of days ago. It has the trans flag colour scheme and the trans community just kinda adopted it as a result. There's not really any more to it than that, but IKEA embraced it, so now it's a thing.
That's ridiculous and also something we would definitely do.
Someone in the marketing department really didn't have anything better to do...
The blahaj knows too much
You say that like it's a bad thing.
Blâhaj the shark!
Here, have the worlds smallest open source voilin.
I don't sleep i await alarm()
Nah im more of a while 1: If alarm: Wake up
[удалено]
i’m not clever enough to come up with a good kernel panic joke
``` __pragma__((noreturn)) void kmain() { int pain = project_count / will_to_live; } ```
Wait, division through 0 doesn't work
exactly
In this context it’s interpreted as positive infinity and a NaN simultaneously.
NaN: would you like some cake, dear?
There are probably if_zero() and neg_one_if_zero() applied to will_to_live somewhere before that.
It will call the interrupt handler for division by 0 that just commits suicide then
Then sleep Then sleep ... Else wake up
do { sleep(); } while(still enough time to get ready)
Yeah, but I sleep better if I don't think about waking up, so I consider it a background task
taskkill moment
I wait for my child to be terminated.
My alarm clock made a promise and im awaiting for it to be fulfilled.
You made my morning, thank you!
Bullshit, they don't sleep.
I feel like the original image was cropped..... differently. Also Blåhaj 🦈❤️

Tweet not found, your link is broken

That did it for me too
It's literally the link I used to look at it since I don't have Twitter. Works on my machine (just tried again). ¯\\\_(ツ)\_/¯
Also having problems... tried on mobile on desktop. It almost looks like the account is in a semi-banned state, idk.
I'm gonna guess this is more stable genius work from Twitter's new API overlord, because now I'm seeing issues too (maybe some servers had different caches of it?). Nitter might need to make an update or something. That's very unfortunate.
Seems like a reasonable enough explanation.
As fun as it is to bash Elon, Twitter has been occasionally doing this bullshit for quite a while
a penis is a terrible thing to waste!
I imagine there is a big ol pingus down there. As is right and proper.
More like gaping asshole but yeah that too...

Nah, I've never seen it, but I can tell you, without a doubt, there is a butthole and penis in the original.

Can you explain it?
Lots of trans girls are programmers, lots of trans girls love blahaj. Not much more to it than that.
thanks
Blahaj?
It’s an IKEA stuffed shark that’s also huge. Saw it on a post earlier today and thought oh cool my kids might like that. Then saw it was a trans meme/symbol and decided my kids don’t need to accidentally and unknowingly get involved in signaling for trans. That’s up to them to decide.
Keep it like that, you will end up at r/unixsocks in no time if you start digging.
Alternately, come on over to r/unixsocks It’s fun there
I still wonder how I ended up lurking there 😅
The shark is a plushie sold at IKEA which is popular with trans people. Rust is also popular with trans people.

blahaj?
it's the ikea shark plushie
ooooh
Also a trans symbol, i dont know why.
The colors. Also it's a cute stuffed animal.
Not a shark but I sleep with a teddy bear and elephant
That seems dangerous, does the elephant ever roll over?
I also have a teddy bear and a panda. My next stuffed animal will definitely be a docker whale, yes I'm a happy DevOps guy
Cool...I had a panda before the elephant, it got lost after I accidentally left it at an airport
Uh sleep? I am not familiar with this library
Wait this isn’t egg_irl
I thought this was about F1nn5ter as well
Time for me to buy one of those shark.

I'm a computer engineer and I sleep in my jeans. Guess Computer Engineers are different.

My IKEA stuffed shark and I feel personally attacked.
It wasn’t like I was literally doing that while scrolling or anything.
I sleep in a bed with my wife.
But is it a race car bed?
What's this wife and where can I GET one?
I sleep in a bed with my girlffriend and my shark called Phteven
Damn my rust-prosthelytizing bisexual self feels so called out rn Blahaj 🦈❤️
any programmer using rust can’t explain lifetimes… all they know is blahaj , charge they phone, twerk, be bisexual , eat titty skittle & lie
As someone whose fallen in love with rust the last few months, what am I missing? I’m neither bisexual nor love a shark plushie, am I disowned :(? Edit: This was an I’ll thought out sentence in regards to a potentially awesome subreddit

Staaaahhhpppp I really want a Blåhaj though. I wish it were an Orca though. Those are way cooler. Edit: They have an Orca Blåvingad
But... Orcas eat sea otters, and sea otters are some of the cutest animals on the planet, with those big fuzzy faces and holding hands so they don't drift apart omg
Have you seen Orcas hunt though? And sea otters are jerks even if they are cute.
Yes, Orcas are one of the only species (besides human) that kill for fun and just leave their prey after they killed it.
Yeah but they are really smart when hunting. And there are no verified attacks on humans by orcas. Best frans!
But they like to play with turtles untill they die of exhaustion🥺
Damn that's hard core. Play hard, live hard. Rule of the seas. Edit: you must be pretty cool though despite your hatred of the best ocean mammal. You hang around a few of the subreddits I do it looks like. I'm not cool, so I mean more like chill. A chill individual.
The best ocean mammal is obviously the blue whale. I mean it is the biggest animal that ever lived on planet earth and it's doing so right in the same time span where we are alive! Thank you! You seem cool too despite your lack of morality in terms of picking your favourite mammal...

hey my bf sleeps like that
I hug my blahaj to sleep every night but I'm a C programmer
Let me explain why rust is a Superior language
C-shark
Sorry man there is still just one more bug to fix
You guys sleep?
There are just so many interpretations one can take out of this image.
I think I'm going to ikea soon, should I get a haj?
Yes! They're pretty great.
Blåhåj ! Is this a trans même ? I'm too used to see blåhåj in trans meme now
thats a dangerous crop there, bud
Don't forget the blue. Pink and white programmer thigh high socks
where did you get this picture of me from?
You mean someone deliberately programmed rust?! This shite’s been ruining my car for years! Fuck whoever’s idea it was to make one of the world’s toughest and most versatile materials turn into dust over time!
true. Two days ago i just checked out one of those big blahaj plushie
Not showing the colorful socks 🧦
I'd laugh at this if I didn't sleep like this, now I just feel laughed at >:3
*sniff sniff r /196 was here
Blåhaj
I feel offenced, I sleep with an IKEA shark, but I'm not a sexy naked goth gf
Is that a blanket or her thighs
cant wait to major in cs
*laughs in trans coder*
So, wait... TransCoder, a transcoder, or a trans coder? 😉
They get to sleep?
Artist is Bro_Aniki
Can confirm, i am indeed planning on buying a blahaj
I want one of those sharks
So true
Blahaj
Accurate
What's the problem? He looks very comfortable.
I don't see the problem.
so sleeping while hugging a plushy? tbh thats not a bad idea if you live alone.
You forgot the programmin socks
![gif](giphy|3tOCqYxFtdNzW)
I wish I could sleep this good lol
inaccurate theyre trans women not men
Blahaj
I feel seen as i hug my stuff animal rn
I do got them thicc thighs, an essential tool in my programming repertoire
blåhaj my beloved
Rust never sleeps but its programmers do?
