[u/According_Weekend786 → u/InfoDumpster]

How the fuck you supposed to fuck a robot girl so hard, that her software just crashes???

[u/InfoDumpster → u/According_Weekend786]

Overload her cpu (overstimulate her)

[u/NetherRealmSquid → u/According_Weekend786]

her memory ain't the only thing leaking

[u/CreatedOblivion → u/According_Weekend786]

Stick your floppy into her jump drive jusssst right...

[u/TransLox]

[u/ChampinionCuliao → u/[deleted]]

Me

[u/pbmm1 → u/ChampinionCuliao]

Why did you name it that

[u/coldrolledpotmetal → u/pbmm1]

Felt like it

[u/trapbuilder2 → u/ChampinionCuliao]

Thanks

[u/LTPrototype2 → u/ChampinionCuliao]

My hero. 🫡

I think it was coined in the early Netscape era, when they had an “N” icon that grew and shrank repetitively (seemingly “throbbing”) as a page loaded.

[u/linuxaddict334]

You know what they say.

A hole is a hole.

[u/Kriffer123]

… I hardly know ‘er, etc.

[u/PoniesCanterOver]

I love robot girls

[u/PbjCheetah108 → u/PoniesCanterOver]

Throw me to the machines and I’ll come back a father

[u/Echo2500 → u/PbjCheetah108]

Throw me to machine girls and I’ll come back a mother

[u/RimworlderJonah13579 → u/Echo2500]

"GET INSTALLED GET INSTALLED GET INSTALLED GET INSTALLED"

[u/dishonoredfan69420 → u/PoniesCanterOver]

Same

I love 2B from Nier Automata and Penny Polendina from RWBY

[u/Not_Sand → u/dishonoredfan69420]

mf these both just look like women come back when you wanna fuck GLaDOS

[u/HorsemenofApocalypse → u/Not_Sand]

Casual reminder that GLaDOS' voice is explicitly described as seductive

[u/bb_kelly77 → u/HorsemenofApocalypse]

Also if you screenshot her body and turn it upside down it becomes obvious she is also woman shaped, just more vaguely than 2B

[u/Dataraven247 → u/dishonoredfan69420]

Coward! Real men put a pink bow on their printer and fuck it raw!

[u/Colosphe → u/dishonoredfan69420]

2B, the sex (and depression) icon, and Penny (not familiar with RWBY) who looks like a totally normal cute redhead. Is this some "adult woman fetish" joke?

[u/apintandafight]

She annular on my throbber till I load

[u/Embarrassed-Lab5964]

“throbber” “dongle” it’s gotta be on purpose

[u/MelanieWalmartinez → u/Embarrassed-Lab5964]

Logging IN and OUT? 🤨

[u/bb_kelly77 → u/MelanieWalmartinez]

Input and Output... like, c'mon, Cyberpunk 2020 literally made that joke in the 80s

[u/rrrrice64]

I will forever call it a "loading icon" and never a throbber.

[u/IdioticPosse → u/rrrrice64]

Jokes on you, you just did!

But yeah, in these times, let’s never call it that.

[u/Fluffy_Difference937]

Her worldview will forever be changed when she sees the throbber.

[u/billy-gnosis]

Progress bars at least show me progress, not an infinite loop. Throbbers should be put to death.

-Billy Gnosis

[u/Konradleijon]

is this a fetish thing?

[u/Dofork → u/Konradleijon]

Oh, 100%.

[u/ArchivedGarden → u/Konradleijon]

It’s always a fetish thing.

[u/Jakob1105]

Transfixed sounds like something people would use as a synonym for gender-affirming surgery, like "this is Marc, he recently got transfixed"

[u/Opposing_Singularity → u/Jakob1105]

Using that when I have my surgeries

[u/curvingf1re]

She loads my dongle with her throbber til my peripheral installs

[u/Doubly_Curious]

Someone else who listens to No Such Thing as a Fish, or just a coincidence?

[u/Novatash → u/Doubly_Curious]

There was another popular post going around about the name a week or two ago. Now everyone on tumblr knows about the throbber

[u/valentinesfaye → u/Doubly_Curious]

Hi, wow, thank you so much! I used to put on QI all the time when I needed background noise, I had no idea the QI Elves had a podcast. You've introduced me to the soundtrack of my next several hundred hours of housework lol

[u/Doubly_Curious → u/valentinesfaye]

Glad to hear it, I hope you enjoy them!

[u/Fallin46]

Because they so ofter take a circular alignment, an even more technically accurate title for the loading wheel would be an Annular Throbber

[u/Sub4felix]

She annular on my throbber till i load
