Correct Grindr Response

112 comments

Which 4th May is this from? Because if it's from 2007 then that's a perfectly reasonable mid-range machine, but if it's from last month then I really hope he's only using it as a personal Linux box for tinkering.
- Well, the x1950 Pro is from Oct 2006 but Grindr didn't launch until March 2009. And I don't know if it launched with the iconic colours but I don't remember any other colours and I do remember using Grindr in 2010. Not sure about 2009.
  Edit: nice dick tho
  
  You remember using Grindr? Hah, gay
- I mean it's from at least roughly back when ATi was a thing
- That’s actually kind of sad.
  I remember doing a ton of stuff on my core 2 Duo iMac with 2gb ram.
  Sure, you won’t be playing cyberpunk, but it ran all the creative suite apps, a few games, and I did a ton of image editing, made movies, and did programming on it.
  
  My 2007 MacBook (white plastic) had a Core 2 Duo and 4GB RAM. For my first MacBook it was a perfectly usable laptop, but boy did it drop off a cliff fast. Tried putting Linux on it a while back, but it didn't want to know.
  Meanwhile, the 2011 MacBook I replaced it with (Core i7, 16GB RAM) is running Mint like a dream.
- Or he’s just saying he’s an older gentleman
  
  A gentleman using a Core 2 Duo rig from a more civilised age.
  
  Old enough to be someone's father or grandfather
- ATI graphics sucked ass on Linux. Back then nVidia was recommended due to their superior drivers.

Those are like espresso machine specs nowadays
- Could be a perfectly good FreeBSD box!
- Buddy I have less than that I'm so fukken done... I'm bout to go to hexbear mutual aid and beg for some buck to get a new pc...
  
  Poor taste.
- Plus the required network connection and AI.
- 12.1 kilo pressure and you're good to go!
  Beep boop vrrrrrrrrrr

Intel Core 2 Duo? 4 GB DDR3 RAM?
Cretaceous period intensifies
- That was my home server specs til February. Upgraded to a third gen i5 and 8gb ram
- I don't know what you guys are talking about?
  I've used an old laptop with Windows 11 (just because I wasn't supposed to) which had Core 2 Duo T7500 (upgraded from T7100), 4GB of DDR2 RAM, GeForce 8600M GT, but with an SSD rather than HDD. Pretty usable with that thing.
  Unfortunately it broke, but I think it would still be just as good.
  
  oh god what the fuck you ran windows fucking 11 on it??? i have no words
  
  Pretty usable with that thing.
  Unfortunately it broke, but I think it would still be just as good.
  So pretty usable until windows 11 broke it?
  
  Probably the faulty nvidia die substrate issue. I'm amazed it lasted this long, most of those chips died long ago.
  
  How is that usable? My work laptop with win11 is at 8-10 GB after boot
- You think thats hot.......I got a Ryzen 3.....
- This is just being poor

5400RPM?!
Ghosted.
- I wouldn't have gotten that far. That utter savage can't even tell the difference between MT/s and MB/s.
- It's energy efficient and quiet 🥺 it's romantic because it takes longer 🥺

5400 RPM spinning rust? Walk away.
- This exchange is older than grindr
- 4GB ram? this guy is lemon party material.

5 inches thick? It’s a chunky clam chowder can, yikes
- Unless it's circumference, otherwise it should be advertised as a 5.25inch floppy
  
  If it's 5.25 inches when floppy, how big is it when the drive is hard?
  
  It is circumference. And thickness >>> length.

I know you're supposed to say size doesn't matter and I don't want to be mean, but really... 4GB DDR3 RAM? 🤣 🤣 🤣
- Considering the rest of his specs, it's ridiculous overkill.
  
  True 😅
- 🤏

You completely forgot to mention it runs Arch
- That is implied.
  The Arch is slightly to the left.

...what year is this???

I hope this is a really old meme, otherwise I fell bad for my bro.
- otherwise I fell bad for my bro
  Not sure if you meant to write "feel", but it is too late now.
  Maybe you should get in touch 😏
- Pretty sure that set up and this guy both sucked before Grindr launched.

Seagate never made a 512GB HDD at least that I can find.
- Now, now, I'm sure the first guy was "enhancing" his own specs a little bit, too. We all do it.
  That said, there are some arguably similar drives listed at 500 GB capacity on ebay. But it's not the size of the disk, it's the gesticulation of the allocation.
  
  I have several 500gb hdd's. I've never seen one labled 512 gb. Only micro sd cards and SSD's. If they did exist, I'd suspect they were either IDE or SAS.
- Are you telling me this post is fake?
  
  I can't tell if you're being sarcastic
- Look, we all exaggerate a lil' bit on dating apps.
- Im almost positive they did, i had one in my core 2 quadro machine iirc, but it was 7200rpm not 5400.
  
  I've never seen a 512gb hdd. It's such a weird number. I've seen 512gb micro SD cards.

Eww 5400 rpm hdd, even in the year here the pc is new is a hard no (also the drive would be 500 gb not 512 that’s an ssd thing not mechanical drives typically). 7200 rpm and highest cache amount possible please
- Smell like server specs. Put Jellyfin on it haha
  
  What? No tons of desktop drives were this way too. I mean yes WD RE style drives were fantastic but WD black was always the way to go back in mechanical days. They were for desktop.

Intel
Okay off to a bad start.
Core 2 Duo
Ok boomer.

~5 inches thick means the circumference, I assume? Because a ~12cm diameter sounds rather uncomfortable.
- Seems like a pretty normal girth to me?
- It's the radius.
- ~~I think they just didn't use a comma. My guess is it means "it's 4.9 inches long, it's thick, and it's circumcised"~~
  EDIT: never mind i completely misread it, you are correct
- bro just shoved the tape into his pants and accidentally measured his thigh

But what's the radius of the balls?

The PC... 🤏
- In its hay day I would have killed for that.
  P.S. my auto-correct wants me to say "have gotten killed for that". Yet again, I'm the victim.

Hot.
- Holy hell it’s Grok
  
  ...squints a little...

As a man who doesn't use things like grindr, I get the feeling that men who get that specific about their body measurements are probably red flags. Is that correct?
- Why?
  I don't think anyone goes on Grindr to find true love. Same with Tinder.
  
  I found my wife on tinder, so take that how you will.
- In profile stats people lie about their dick size. I've never had a person lie in the actual message though. The fact this person left out their age and then used wbu would make me hesitant to reply though.
- Probably

This guy fucks.
- He better, because he doesn't game for sure

When Protogens use Grindr
- Can confirm

How is that outdated machine the correct response? My brother in Christ, you need to upgrade that rig out of 2004.

And they say romance is dead

I can strapolate his other stats based on these
- I can strapolate all the stats are what he made up in his head

Also, HMU with Blue's profile. I want to get some work out tips from him.

Nerds be like:
- Gay nerds be like* 😅
  
  Oh right my bad

Well they are sure gonna have fun with all this equipment

Cut dick?
- Circumcised.

MfT

I would understand if he ran away. Not because you're a nerd, but because of the wooden computer
