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

    [–] KISSmyOSFeddit@lemmy.world 265 points 5 months ago (4 children)

    "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 5 months ago (3 children)

    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.

    From the Orgy region of France

    [–] humorlessrepost@lemmy.world 16 points 5 months ago* (last edited 5 months ago) (1 children)

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

    [–] grue@lemmy.world 90 points 5 months ago* (last edited 5 months ago) (1 children)

    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.

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

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

    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 5 months ago (3 children)

    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 5 months ago (6 children)

    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 5 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 5 months ago* (last edited 5 months ago) (1 children)

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

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

    [–] nickwitha_k@lemmy.sdf.org 98 points 5 months ago (1 children)

    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 5 months ago (1 children)

    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.

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

    [–] Siethron@lemmy.world 19 points 5 months ago (6 children)

    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 5 months ago* (last edited 5 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 5 months ago (2 children)

    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 5 months ago (2 children)

    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 5 months ago (2 children)

    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 5 months ago (1 children)

    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.

    [–] user1234@lemmynsfw.com 17 points 5 months ago

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