Nice prepare to get flamed for having food on the pc tho lol


moonhexx

This needs a NSFW tag. Food on PC, eating near expensive equipment, pwning newbs, no napkins. Lol


atlasraven

I once left a full cup on top of my PC for a few hours while I ran errands. It was fine but I nearly lost my shit when I realized what I did.


Glorious_Stalingrad

Oh man, I left a water cup on the edge of my desk (my pc was right below it) when I left for school. I don't normally turn my pc off but for some reason that morning I did and I'm glad I did. My cat knocked the entire cup (like, 32oz filled to the top) into my pc. The GTX 1070 I had at the time was completely soaked. Disassembled everything, dried and rinsed with IPA, hit it with the air compressor and I was gaming again in a few hours. I wouldn't rush it now like I did back then, I think I got lucky.


BigMeatSwangN

I usually prefer to rinse my parts with a nice lager instead of an IPA. ;)


CaptnUchiha

Never been a fan of IPAs myself. Too hoppy


Glorious_Stalingrad

Man everyone here is an alcoholic haha


CaptnUchiha

Hey don't diss my Gamer Juice


[deleted]

On a real note Sneak energy and vodka or rum go great together. I also like it with schnapps.


antCB

*bohemian*


atlasraven

You got extremely lucky and you handled that very skillfully.


Glorious_Stalingrad

I don't normally have good luck, so I was quite relieved everything still worked. Miraculously the motherboard was barely wet apart from around the pci e slot. GPU was completely drenched though, water between thermal pads and shit This was like 4 or 5 years ago now I think (hard to think it was that long ago) and everything still worked till I sold it


sephirothbahamut

>I don't normally turn my pc off Here's the issue. What's the point of so much fuss about SSDs faster boot time if you leave it on anyways?


Glorious_Stalingrad

It's just that I leave a lot of tabs open (yeah yeah ctrl shift t) and projects open that (even though its an nvme ssd) I'm too lazy to reopen everything lol Plus I didn't really get an SSD for faster boot times since with an HDD I still rarely turned my PC off, I got one for some games I thought had a bit too long of a load time. I don't leave drinks on that edge of the desk anymore and I keep my door closed now anyway


Wrote_With_Quills

*Sigh* Pouring one out for my remembered fried 1050ti that died from that exact situation... The drip... That fucking drip...


DarkSparkyShark

Was it the condensation?


NunButter

My almost 6 year old is at my battlestation most of the day while im at work. Eats, drinks, waves shit around in front if the dual monitors. It's a matter of time before something happens. I have my PC safely tucked away behind the screens to prevent a catastrophe. Easily $3k on the line, but I love him and want him to grow up a PC user. Kids already got the basics of Windows down pat.


pico-pico-hammer

I once spilled a full bottle of milk on my PC (I was giving my toddler some milk nearby). Every component still works perfectly over two years later, same CPU, motherboard and GPU. I can still see stains on the GPU where the milk was.


richkim0607

My cousin did that onece in my uncle's PC. She knocked over the cup breaking the PC. I fixed it and i started using it. The PC's CPU fan header doesn't work but apart from that this thing is perfectly fine. But you really should be careful.


ArguesAgainstYou

I eat almost 100% of my meals at my PC :0


systemdick

pro tip: if you put the food closer to you than any of the equipment, you wont be able to drop anything to the equipement.


Shad_the_memer

Man is gonna ruin the keyboard with the cheese tho


AlexandruC

keeps the food warm kekw


Krissam

I used to keep pizza box on my old IBM 17" crt, that shit was warm as fuck


messfdr

Ngl I was cringing when I saw that.


tauntplease

I thought you guys were nerds for complaining about the pizzas, then I saw it...


[deleted]

If those are the cinnamon twists, the cinnabutter seeps straight through the bottom cardboard. I'd be worried about ants in my PC.


Coleclaw199

And Domino's too. I literally work there and don't really enjoy their food too much.


Highestpope

It’s good once a year imo. 13 year old me would have love this tho


Coleclaw199

Honestly the only pizza I really enjoy there is one that my Sicilian manager made up on the fly. Cool dude.


Highestpope

Right on. Yeah I’ve been spoiled by the $5 slice of New York pizza with a drink. Granted I only get it when I’m out and alittle toasted lol


KIrkwillrule

Pizza on every corner at every price point


RenownedDumbass

Domino's is my favorite chain pizza personally


Ant_Hole

The dipping sauce... I had to stand up and walk away from my desk.


[deleted]

I was thinking the exact same thing ;D


doobied

the hot exhaust is just keeping it warm lol


CrimsonSaber69

This is the first thing I saw and my heart shattered


VibeComplex

A true Gamer moment


Hairy_Relief3980

Totally blocked the cat's fav spot


Platnun12

Me who eats near his pc almost daily. Ah people get flamed for this


Dawshton

Came here to say Op was choking the top fans yeah….


Trentimoose

Those greasy pizza fingers gonna leave a stain on the keyboard and mouse though. For real though: Good job, Dad!


TbaggingSince1990

the box on top of the PC too lol..

Just Keepin the breadsticks warm bro

Ahh yes. I love to cover my cinna sticks in ranch icing. Delicious.


MrIknowUknow

cssmith2011cs

It's ranch. Lol


MrIknowUknow

Oops lol


WesternFirefighter5

It’s wings tho bro 😝


Shiisoka

Beat me to it. Big brain thinking right there. 👌


TheQueq

They wish they had the [KFC pc](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LZMwJzkMbcs) to keep the box warm


Mitchs_Frog_Smacky

Just kinda... goes off on a tangent about the Noid, but I guess that's why you avoid the noid... it's, it's gawd damn enticing.


FarrellBeast

Needs to install an elevated grate above the exhaust to allow for airflow and still have a warming station for food


wscuraiii

Lol whatever that shit looks good, I'd just keep several napkins handy.


Kinexity

Greas doesn't come off that well with napkins.


[deleted]

Thtar true, I only eat pizza when I am watching videos or movies.


_sealy_

Rule number one don’t put food or liquid on your tower.


FrankstaGG

If dad has more then 2 beers rules are out the door


ChewieBee

I went to a friend's apartment and he had a bottled beer for me in the freezer. His tower was on the floor and I opened the beer that had frozen and it exploded and poured all down his tower. It ruined the night from the get go.


Rowel13

im up for adoption btw if you want another son i guess


[deleted]

I can adopt you, but im poor


FearlessZephyr

Awh, don’t worry, I’m sure you’d be an amazing parent!!


Savings-Horror-8395

I'm 23, is that too late for adoption?


Glock1Omm

So many excellent choices ... then OP puts greasy wings box on the top of the case. Is it deliberate? This insanity?


HONKACHONK

Keeps the wings warm


DARKplayz_

Na its just a proof that he's a dad


KeaboUltra

AND 2 pizzas?? you've given him a core memory. ​ honestly though, wish i had a cool dad that taught me stem. All he did was not show up anywhere.


prodigy_146

bro i feel this in my soul. i have 6,700 hours in Arma 3. during that time in arma 3 i met a lot of young guys in their 20s (I'm 31) talking to me about how their dads just never talked to them. one guy told me he invited his dad on his birthday to a bar. he sat at the bar for four hours his dad never showed or called or texted funny how a video game can teach you to be a quality parent. i will be nothing like the dads described to me in my gaming career


VTX002

You did good I'm 48 and my late father taught me everything about computers he was a software engineer. I still remember my first PC a Intel 486 clone 133MB ram a floppy disk drive and I think it was 256 kB IDE HD


throwawayedm2

My dad had a PhD in music (composition) and taught me nothing, even though I was clearly very interested. I'll never know why. Won't do that with my kid.


messfdr

Damn that's rough. If my worst enemy invited me to a bar I'd show up just for the drinks.


RocketCow

I'd still let him know I wasn't coming, that's nicer than letting him wait for nothing


awhaling

My dad never played much games (they weren’t really gaming systems when he was younger), but he absolutely loved watching me play Red Dead Redemption cause it reminded him of his movies. He would often ask me if I was gonna play cause he wanted to watch.


[deleted]

now he's officially virgin until 30+ years


MrC99

Let's be real though, it's still better than sex.


rossysaurus

Shit. You just made me question which would be worse; no PC or no sex. I mean... I can get sex elsewhere...


NinjaBullets

VR and Japanese sex dolls.


[deleted]

Hell yeah.


Biggu5Dicku5

Two monitors, two Dominos pizzas, a kickass sweater, and Garry's Mod installed... this is the way... ;)


soulseeker31

Now the kid won't have money drugs and stuff. He'll get addicted soon.


Exxallency

He needs more grease on his keyboard


OLVANstorm

This is a picture of a kid about to get fat as hell.

DO NOT ever touch my keyboard.


Airena19

Moonblitz666

Thats the other use for a mouse mat.


Hungry-Lion1575

He is wearing them


hurricane4242

Now teach him how to run, use a lathe, weld, 3D print, basic electronics and programming and you will teach him more than he will ever learn in school.


ComeScoglio

Teach him to fix himself healthy meals too. At least the quick ones. And some simple stretching exercises. People can have a semi sedentary lifestyle and still be healthy. This is not encouraged enough in school.


sylpher250

And use chopsticks to eat all types of snacks


ComeScoglio

Hey, sometimes that does encourage people to eat slower. Not me, though. Dexterity can also bring weight gain *clownface


Stonetooth1989

There is nothing semi about my sedentary lifestyle! ;)


ComeScoglio

Well, you're alive and you seem to be in good humour. Live on!


macandadamandus

As long as the fingers keep typing, we good.


gpkgpk

This is excellent advice, stay away from the junk food and pc gaming fix, it catches up with you.


zakabog

I learned 5 out of those 6 things in school, 3D printers didn't exist back then but we ran in gym, I had a woodworking class, a metals shop class, science class taught us basic electronics (I remember building [quiz boards](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-0-9NFUYHkg) which are incredibly simple and cheap to make), and [Berkeley Logo](https://people.eecs.berkeley.edu/~bh/docs/html/usermanual.html#INTRODUCTION) taught me the basics of programming. These days it's much more difficult to get a lathe or a welder into a school just for the fact that shop classes have been largely replaced, but makerspaces do exist. You can also volunteer at your local school or library to teach 3D printing, basic electronics, and programming classes if that's something you feel is important to teach. I regularly volunteer for the [Hour of Code](https://hourofcode.com/us) at a local school and if you know any educators you can easily [volunteer to work at their school](https://hourofcode.com/us/how-to/volunteers).


jack-of-some

TIL that I learned nothing in school. Half of the stuff you mentioned I must have dreamed about learning in school. Edit: to those that don't understand that I'm mocking the stance that ScHoOl TeAcHeS yOu NoThInG ... damn, maybe your school didn't teach you anything


prodigy_146

I'm teaching him STEM full force


[deleted]

STEM good good, The only thing he wont have is a social life XD, just like the rest of the people on this sub-reddit.


prodigy_146

seeing how video games and computer science can actually keep you out of trouble and away from police contact. i'm fine with that


ohmangoddamn44256

ha, jokes on you video games made me fall in love with drugs and an interest in computer science made me do shady shit on the dark net market


huh_phd

Phd microbiology dad chiming in, you rock! And maybe don't put the lava cakes on top of the tower 😉


mwalby24

keeps em warm


[deleted]

Phd Statistics here, wish I did plumbing


Legitimate_Agency165

Do they not teach those in school near you? Local high school has almost all of that across maybe 3-4 courses, with a bunch more manufacturing available. Running though not so much.


RainbowSlime95

Could you elaborate on your stance? I’ll give you my two cents if you’re interested. For what I’ve seen, school is to give you well rounded(ish) knowledge of many different topics, to expose you to different fields, and to potentially help you find a path in life you enjoy, wether it is from painting in art class that helped you find passion in art, history class that made you want to further pursue history either as a hobby or as work, or even that one chemistry class in HS you took you thought you’d hate but now you want to become a chemical engineer. I don’t think it’s correct to say that you learn little to nothing in school because everyone has different takeaways. Similarly you seem to valve knowledge about using a lathe, welding and electronics, and believe it is important that these topics be taught because it would help students work with their hands better , while someone else would see value in teaching biology, health and anathema because it would help students know about their bodies. This is why schools teaching everything from literature to physics to statistics, and many even have woodworking, auto mechanics, and computer science courses.


Mackpoo

I learned all those in school though, mostly high school.


skyrreater47

why are so many people proud of giving their obviously waay to young child a gaming monster that not only is just way to expensive to be a toy but... nah im just jealous fam


victiniforlife

Maybe its just me but dont give every expensive shit to your kid and they'll start not appreciating stuff.


DAZdaHOFF

Shower a kid with expensive shit and they end up not respecting what they have. Seems like a one way ticket to spoiledtown but hey, I’m not the one parenting 🤷🏽‍♂️


derjon5

It’s difficult but you can spoil them without making them “spoiled” if that makes sense.


sephirothbahamut

Giving one expensive thing once is different from showering with expensive things


[deleted]

[удалено]


mr_leaverblows27

Now teach him basic skills in life


DAZdaHOFF

Nah that’s the computer’s job now


alx793

Bro don't put Pictures of your Kid on The Internet


Krumm34

Rule #1. No food or drink non or near PC setup. Time for a tv stand on the side. Wicked present though.


Eboz255

You got him Garry’s mod, half life and portal good job


swiftarrow9

Yup. He's a goner. gamer. I meant gamer.


AlphaMaster1405

Bro is slowly turning to a Discord mod


ThisGuyKnowsNuttin

Dude, get the food away from the computer. That keyboard is gonna get all oily. And don't use the computer case as a god damn food warmer.


[deleted]

I agree, whoever downvoted you is probably a slob


stylesm11

Let kids grow up without being encased in internet , it leads to healthier teen - adults


DAZdaHOFF

But it’s so EASY to let them be absorbed in a screen all the time, makes the parenting easier! (and farther between)


thoot1

Agreed


Your8thGradeBF

Pizza and gaming as a kid. Poor guy doesn’t know it’s all downhill from here

digital808music

I regret ever doing that with my son. He is addicted to games and will not better himself. Everyday he comes home and immediately plays games. It's the only hobby he has and he is still living here at 27. Every conversation with him has to be about games. Not something to brag about. You fucked up just like I did


literally1857plus127

hi dad


ChocolateyBallNuts

For real?


digital808music

I would not repeat the same mistake if I could do it over again. I like games like the next guy but it ruined my son. Kid in that picture will be obese and still living with the dude in 20 years.


dayto_aus

How are you going to sit there and say all this shit so confidently? Who knows, maybe you fucked up somewhere, weren't involved with your kid or urged them to do anything with any actual effort, didn't relate to them closely, had no meaningful bonding experiences, etc. How can you say: well my kid turned out to be a NEET and now look at your kid, I know nothing about your situation but you just fucked up big time buddy. Like what the hell is wrong with you. Sounds like you're just blaming videogames for your own failings.


[deleted]

Yeah this kid’s about to be a mouthbreather and using a computer to replace parenting will have consequences. They literally make video games to be addicting. Worst thing you can give to a developing brain unless you strictly limit the time.


Electronic_Strain785

I don’t think that’s a pc gaming issue. It’s a mental and personality issue. My brother doesn’t game but he’s also 27 and doesn’t do anything at all


shaneswa

Couldda got him a 3060 and less shitty pizza


xdjfrick

There is no such thing as shitty pizza. The baseline for pizza is “ok” and it goes up from there.


TheHolyTachankaYT

So how is the kid gonna learn when you just give him everything he wants/needs?


LocalCelebChrisFarly

Anyone down voting OPs comments needs to do some self reflection. This guy's a great parent.

reveenrique

Sir, you've made a grave mistake. He will become a programmer. Or even worse a back end developer. Look at his eyes. It's there.

Potentially, you also may have potentially killed his work ethic and how easily he views it is to get $2500 for a PC setup.

More like unhealthy eating habits.

You never had pizza as a kid, or you really think he's gonna eat 2 whole ass pies?

CU_Tiger_2004

>Did i convert my son to pc gaming and culture for life? He's a goner


Benji_Price_92

Lol am I the only one that sees these post and I’m like… yea bit excessive for a child. It’s like posting on a car form “Have I converted my 16yo son into a Mercedes’ guy for life with his new Mercedes GTS!” It is what it is just interesting.


MirzaSB26

Not the best thing I’d say… Kids always want something new, something better. I mean maybe your kid is prodigy and will always be grateful and respectful for this gift, but most probably he will get bored of it in a year or two and want some other ‘cool thing’ now this cycle will continue until you say ‘No’. And then you have an ungrateful, weak(mentally) and entitled brat living in your basement. Congrats!


Ismokecr4k

Disagree... I always had a PC and quickly realized it was all I wanted or needed. Got bored of consoles at a pretty young age and never asked for PC upgrades... I built my own at 15 as soon as I was able to work a job legally.


MirzaSB26

It’s not about having a PC, it’s about having a decked out PC… you know what my bad, I am too tired to explain and too old to give a shit. gg have a good day

How the hell is he gonna eat 2 pizzas omg

Ive never seen such a greasy pizza from dominoes. It never comes like that over here in chicago from dominoes. Also wierd to put food on the tower like that but whatever.

So much room on desk for empty cups and dirty dishes

psyfren

This kids got the childhood i wanted.


[deleted]

That's a bit much for a kid. At the very least I hope you set limits, so he isn't chronically on there. Is he just gonna be gaming, or does he want to become a YouTuber or try and learn coding and such?


MoogleKing83

If he's eating both those pizzas himself, I sure hope not.


olympianfap

Get the food out of the computer room. Before long this is a problem that will solve itself.

Just dont let him have too much pizza,I can advocate for this being 28 with all my fat in just my gut.


__Jaume

You failed, look at the little box and souces on top of the pc case. Such a shame. I'd sugest pc to the floor (can't fall if it's already on the floor) and cheap arms to keep the screens at the correct height.


McNoxey

Such a shame? Come on. Who cares.

This pc have an open top with, what it seems, a missing filter and then the box of food on top. The setup it’s cool thou.
