Today at the grocery store a sweet older lady approached me and asked if I knew anything about computers. I said yes I do, and she produced a mouse saying that her son set up Linux mint for her and she was wondering if the mouse was compatible. It needed kernel version 2.6 or newer so I said that the mouse should work, guessing mint itself was probably newer than that kernel. Happy with my answer, we chatted a little, then she thanked me and left.

It was a nice experience, so I thought I should share!

    Good thing you’re here to sus out the BS, otherwise we might all have been hoodwinked by OP recalling this wholesome interaction at this store.

    Honestly at this point you’ve spent longer trying to explain why it’s made up than OP took to write it.

    Are you happy with the person that you are? I can’t imagine you’re very pleasant to spend time with.

      Yeah, I’m content with who I am.

      Your assumption regarding my goal is wrong though. I took care to explain my thoughts in a way that didn’t deny the possibility outright. No worries if you missed that, or are skeptical.

      I think most can agree (even if you don’t) that the chances of this are just wild. That itself was interesting enough to me that I chose to type out 2 comments. I’m told commenting/contributing is the point of being on lemmy?

      Anyway, I don’t know who pissed in your wheaties, but I hope your day improves from here.
