Leave Heather alone. There’s nothing wrong with this desktop background. Please refrain from remote connecting to her computer in the future.

This is reminiscent of an absolute classic video.

If you are not familiar with a story about penis-arranged icons, I recommend giving it a watch.

If you haven't, please watch the original, full video! It's hilarious from beginning to end...

Heather doesn't lock her computer when she walks away. Don't be like Heather.

It sounds far more likely to me that she right-clicked on some image file and picked "Set as desktop background".

And this is why we have a GPO that locks the background to a corporate image.

Here's my new "you left your computer unlocked" image

My favorite was to screenshot the desktop, set that as the background, then move everything on it to a different folder.

That font in the signature, the fax into, the mustard!!!

... and last but not least, how the icon placement accentuates the natural curves of that mustard bottle ...

Ctrl + Alt + Down

Now your bottle is ready to dispense delicious mustard

We used to do this stuff to people who would leave their computers open, or flip the screen upside down.

It was a pretty benign way to teach people to lock their damn computers when they left.

I used to take a screenshot of the desktop, set it as the wallpaper. Then hide all the desktop icons and set the taskbar to auto hide.

and of all the amazing mustards available, she had to get stuck with one of the most shitty vinegary last-resort-only option

As a mustard lover, heinz isnt even close to the actual worst one, which is the whole foods brand mustard. Its made with apple cider and it is revolting. The best widely available yellow mustard to just grab in a store is plochman's.

[–] SmoothLiquidation@lemmy.world 13 points 1 week ago (9 children)

There are so many awesome fancy mustards out there, but if I want the ballpark standard yellow mustard, I usually just go for French’s. It’s the same principle with ketchup. When I want ketchup I just want Heinz. If I go to a restaurant and they are all proud of their “house made” ketchup, it is probably going to be too sweet or tomatoy or whatever. Just give me what I grew up with and don’t mess with it.

That said my wife has been making mustard at home recently and it is amazing. It’s not yellow mustard but a tangy grainy mustard that is great.
