OP just made an asp of himself.
That constricts all my respect.
Impressively bad snake identification, really. Two of the most distinctive and different-looking snakes in the world, with one of the primary differences currently on full and prominent display ... and OP just confused them.
OP probably just found the picture. OOP probably just found a picture of a snake in a computer and made the joke, not caring it’s actually a cobra.
I don’t think most people can identify five breeds of snakes reliably, but I think most people know a cobra when they see it, due to the fins or whatever they’re called. Like you know when you hear a rattlesnake (I assume; I’ve never encountered one).
It could, theoretically but probably not, be a multilayered joke about thinking you installed Python but actually installing something else, like any of the other snake-themed programming thingies or straight-up malware.
Put a cup of coffee in to instal Java (I don't know if it'll work, I'm not a programmer).
Leave it out in the rain to install Rust
Depends on the cup
This is a highly technical thing can't be easily achieved by everyone
nope thats a true danger noodle
Cobra is discontinued. This meme is very old.
I don't see it discontinued, just 0.9.6 has been very stable for 13 years

Seriously I see two PCI slots and potentially AGP as well. That case looks early 2000s too.
Python now has root access.
You have been removed from root access.

Sure sure it's easy enough to install these things no one ever thinks about the difficulties of the uninstall process though
Why is my Python not working?
PIPE TO /DEV/NULL!

Me when I accidentally replace the system python.
Do they come in RGB?
I know, I know, I should set up a terrarium virtual environment. But sometimes that's such a bother.
