Out of memory: Kill process 15745 (postgres) score 10 or sacrifice child
Add sudo insults for good measure.
Sacrificing children is pretty common in Linux
What goes hard about the kernel panic one?
u cant make popcorn without some kernels panicking
Is there a version of this with some pixels in it?
Much better
Possibly, but I’ll just transcribe it here for screenreaders and people who can’t see through the pixelation:

I love some of the dangerous upgrade commands too, my favorite:
hdparm --fwdownload-mode7 firmwarefile.bin –yes-i-know-what-i-am-doing --please-destroy-my-drive /dev/sdb
I’d like to add this one:
Uhhuh. NMI received for unknown reason 31 on CPU 3. Dazed and confused, but trying to continueI get this one like once a week and it always makes me laugh. One day I’ll investigate
I mean reason 31 could be anything. CPU 3 could be feeling a little tired, be pranking you, or just not be the brightest of the CPUs.
BIOS/UEFI likely tried to fuck up the CPU, or hardware fault. NMI => Non Maskable Interrupt.
Poor Tux, it’s a rough life
[insert the perfect meme to put here that has a baby and a fire here future self please]
I remember not compiling the root filesystem in the kernel on my first Gentoo install, and being surprised it couldn’t mount root at boot.
The first kernel I built was not entirely happy with the .config I had made for it. Only thing it could do was BEEP-ing in panic for any key presses. [insert noot noot meme]
I like the errors that strongly signal that the system was not produced by a corporation. They’d never get through coffee review where I work
Can’t forget about “This incident will be reported.”
I first got that on a Mac in my school and actually got scared it was going to tell the IT desk. It didn’t.
Fun fact! It gets reported to /var/spool/mail/root ! If your mail spooler is properly configured (and your SMTP relay is also configured to send mail addressed to root to an actual user account) then you will get these alerts by email.
It got removed right?
As SU type mail, you can read what meesages got sent to root@machinename
Oh ok
cowsayshould be at the end of every script you run.Can you insert Lp0 on fire as well ? :) https://en-academic.com/dic.nsf/enwiki/7306628
lp0 on fire (aka Printer on Fire) is a semi-obsolete error message still generated on some Unix/Linux operating systems in response to certain types of printer errors. lp0 is the Unix device handle for the first line printer, but the error can be displayed for any printer attached to a Unix/Linux system.
i have seen many of these memes, is there a website or something where all these are collected ?
Try removing essential packages from your system or unmounting /boot
Argh not the VFS kernel panic!
