i really hate these shirts man

they might as well say ‘computers and being an rear end in a top hat is my personality’

that shirt would sell well regardless of the intended irony

I had a bunch of ThinkGeek shirts in HS, then I went to an engineering school for college and everyone wore them and I realized how dumb they were and stopped wearing them.

Nothing makes a "10 types of people in the world: those who know binary, and those who don't" shirt less funny than seeing it five times a day.

there used to be a dude at the local apple store who'd wear one. He was actually really good lookin and he'd go up to ladies and hit that captain morgan pose and be like "What can I do for you" and give a big smile and the ladies would get like all flustered, it was very funny.

my "no I will not fix your computer" shirt was bought by a family member, because I was always fixing my family members' computers and she thought that was a funny in-joke? I guess? But it's like, great, that is funny for us, but I cannot wear this shirt in public

that's OK though, I'm sure she only paid $30 for it in 2002

this is that xkcd style of humour where smugly recognising a reference or parsing a simple thing that nerds don’t care about is considered the height of hilarity

it’s important to recognise this behaviour and react with cruel and incessant mockery lest we allow someone like that to write another Ready Player One

here's to feelin' good all the time
there was another shirt that said "i read your email", which the intent was clearly to mean that as a super cool admin guy they habitually snoop on your emails, but it just looked like a weird shirt confirming that the wearer had reviewed one single email you, the viewer, had sent them

yeah and they were all extremely overpriced. i think i remember paying like $30 for a variety pack of caffeinated poo poo that should've been $10 at the most

nice racket if you can keep it i guess, but it clearly didn't work out for them lol

i remember discovering that compusa was selling both penguin mints (caffeinated anti-constipation mints) and also bawls and was so happy about it

also i definitely had the caffeine molecule shirt. christ, what an rear end in a top hat
