  I am very technical-minded and have been using PC’s since the early 90’s on a pretty deep level, but have no experience or interest in anything linux related so about 30% of Lemmy frontpage posts might as well be Sanskrit.

  Webcomics are second nature to us geeks, so it’s easy to forget that the average person probably knows just ADHDinos and Loving Reaper.

  And xkcd, of course.

    Unless it’s the worst slop on r/comics like PizzaCake, then it has like 50k upvotes from the lowest common denominator.

  Hey, the average person doesn’t even know what Linux is, nor what thermal paste is.

    Never heard anyone call sunscreen thermal paste before, must be a regional thing?

    I think they were referring to this

  Wait is this already in reference to the xkcd about experts overestimating the average person’s knowledge about their subject or should I go look for it?

    It absolutely sounds like a reference to the xkcd.
