Back before writing when everything was oral history this was technically true. I mean files were stories and peer to peer transfer was telling each other stories.
The joke of the meme is that computer viruses will use your RAM to do stuff like mining crypto which will heat up your computer. Now the meme claims that biological viruses do the same with your body. This is wrong (obviously) because the body heat is actively done by the body to kill off the virus. Your comment has nothing to do with any of this so I was confused
I think you misunderstood my post. My point was not that viruses are trying to give you a fever. My point was that thousands of years ago this was true. Random stories were files, story telling was file sharing, telling a story by definition burns energy so increases heat. Anytime you use energy you make some amount of energy which gets burned off and often results in atleast minorly increased temperatures.
Ice cream is a bit of an uneven cooler solution, only cooling selective components that might not be involved with any actually productive processes, which may then end up drawing more power if the thermal throttling is deactivated for those parts. So you'd be getting better cooling in total, but it won't be evenly distributed.
That's why things like cold wraps are more effective: They're water cooling for heat sinks covering large thermal conductors that will reduce the total system temperature and help avoid a catastrophic shutdown.

If every cell in my body was seeding, you'd be able to download The Bee Movie in like 2 seconds.

Do you also have Shrek

? That has nothing to do with viruses?
vrek@programming.dev · 3 pts · 38d
True but also the image didn't either?
lugal@sopuli.xyz · 5 pts · 38d
Are we talking about the same image? Because the image I'm talking of says: (my emphasis)

Ok fine, it used the word virus, I just didn't consider that the primary point. Sorry if I upset you with my response earlier

Not upset, just confused.

Yes, I understood that but I saw no connection to the post. I guess I see it now. Thanks for your patience

Oh no I'm overheating how do I avoid thermal throttling

I heard better cooling solutions help. Have you tried eating icecream?

Or just silently mining crypto

Whatever you do, don't close port number 2 permanently.
