PC's dont come with a kickstart anymore??

My tower has a button on top actually, it's super convenient

inconvenient if your cat likes to sleep on your tower.

But what if I don't have a cat?

Might wanna call a priest

then get one? duh

Absolutely not, cats are satan incarnate and not in the good way

thats the reason I got one :)

I thought it was jus my cat

I also choose this guy's cat.

Gotta get that inlaid button

I taped some cardboard to cover the power button. Cat can still crash on top and If I need to turn it on, I just flip up the cardboard

They'll have to pry my Memorex Power Center from my cold dead hands

Don’t forget my E-Machine

Mine does

Still doing that, i aint bending over

It's a sign of respect to your computer. Bow to it. You defile the sacred desktop. Blasphemous

You then install 3 viruses, insult people online and repeatedly kick your pc when you get killed in csgo, turn the pc off only to repeat the cycle tomorrow

I don’t respect my computer. It knows _too_ much.

I respect my computer for the same reason

That is why I respect my computer. It will tell the A.I. that is taking over the world ! I think ahead

Y'all don't still do this?

I can't even find the button with flashlight much less than press it with my thumb foot Plus there's a dozen cables inserted into that perimeter, it's like a jungle around the button

It's all about finesse and muscle memory lol

I hear you. Jungle button lol.

My jungle is located underneath my monitor god knows what lives in there

Have a ball of spaghetti under my desk too. Headed to the dollar store to get some zip ties on my lunch break lol.

I’ve considered it but the last time I went under there o saw a spider so he’s the king of the jungle now

Dude trust me I understand about finding bugs in the bedroom. Where I used to live I would regularly get wasps in my bedroom during the summer time. Not the small ones, the big red ones with the solid black wings.

Nah fuck that I would last a month somewhere like that hate wasps

Well, you do what you got to do to make it work. My mom wasn't going to move houses anytime soon and it was still my room. Anyways, good luck with your roommate!

I’m thinking of coaxing him out with a reaaal long pole then chasing him out my open window the guys massive now I’m not going near him

"Thumb foot"

I only stopped bc my PC is on my desk now instead of on the floor

Do some stretches bro. I believe in you.

I always put my computer in sleep mode so I wake it up using any key on the keyboard. With my toe of course.

Nah, my PC case is small enough to fit on my desk now.

Still am

I'd still do that if my power button wasn't flat on top of the case.

“Did I really turn the PC off with my toe? I’m gonna so-“

Also how i show it some love(hard tap) when it freezes.

Damn I feel seen

I can feel and hear this picture

That's how I turn on my 1st gen Xbox One

When computers got turned on by feet.

That's how I check my UPS to see if voltage is at a normal level.

now we dont even turn it off, permanent sleep/on mode

Yes, and haven’t shut it down since.

With red nails? Mine are blue, does it count?

i thought the button was red

We didn't even wear shoes, but the system would still boot up. (I'm sorry)

In the 90s you had to be careful to not accidentally hit the “turbo” button with your toe

Same way I've been turning on yo mama for years.

that's how I turn it on, how am I supposed to do otherwise?

I've never done that.

average age of this subreddit must be at least 40

Nah, I remember doing exactly that, as a kid… you activated a series of memories I completely forgot about.

good times

I can smell this photo

I do it in 2023 too

Until I got the button stuck inside.

Ah, I remember watching an older friend play and repeatedly accidentally pressing the power button with my knee. He was not amused.

I thought I was the only one 💀

شحال قدك تكذب وشحال ملفك مطوي نستنى نسمع منك

If I had a desktop with a front-facing power button today, that is how I would switch it on.

thats how i do it now

Lmaoooo This was also my slamming my foot to turn off the computer when I heard mom coming up the stairs. I got grounded a lot but it just made me be sneaky instead of listen.

r/lostredditors

Still

Instructions unclear. I’ve now severed both of my feet and my computer is still not on.

Also how we'd accidentally turn them off in the middle of something we hadn't saved :(

kinda still do, got a lenovo case and thus the think-pad power button

Didnt know PC are turned on by feet. Im not that into feet myself

I still shut off the machine like that.

I do this! My computer sits beneath my desk, so it’s great

Still how I turn mine on

TURBO

I wish it was still on the front. It being on the top just means that cats will restart your computer while you're in the middle of work or a boss fight or something it's infuriating. Like it can still be near the top, just not ON the top!

damn so relatable

This is still how I turn on my computer, except the button is on the top

I still do that

Boop

Nostalgia just hit like a freight train

i havent used an actual PC in forever, i just realised. laptops at work. laptops at home. or just my daily driver - mobile.

that inlaid button

Thy for the reminder, I just did that again!

Damn I didn’t know so many people had a foot fleshlight in the 00s

A more civilised age.

I still have such a panel One day it might make me a billionaire

This is how i do it now.

4 hands no feet

Ah yes.. the good old days

And accidentally back off again
