“Points at adoption/fostering (assuming you want children)”

Acer Aspire 5532. It had a single core Athlon 1.6ghz processor, 3gb of ram, 160gb of storage, and it ran windows 7. It was cheap and it was SLOW! To be honest, I do attribute it with expanding my knowledge of computers, as I almost immediately started researching how to make it acceptably fast, which led me into engineering.

I think it’s just that they are more obvious here, so it led to a popular use term. Bigger issue is that they can be kinda annoying and I suspect it might only grow their numbers if they are the default community that potential redditors have as their first experience in lemmy.
