Freetard's Law

As an Internet discussion loosely related to home computers grows longer, the probablility of someone mentioning Linux approaches 1.

An example of Freetard's Law in a heavily-summarized forum discussion
Person A: "Hey, does anyone know why GZDoom freezes after around 20 minutes of gameplay on my setup?"
...
Person B: "Yeah, have you tried this build of GZDoom optimized for your line of GPUs?"
Person A: "Not yet, but I will, thanks."
Person C: "This isn't even a problem if you have a half-decent window manager on Linux."

Amartial Law

Declaration one makes that states that upon throwing up during a night of drinking, one must continue to drink.

Even though he puked on his birthday, because he declared Amartial Law, his buddies poured him another drink.

Donnelly's Law

Through self-selection critics of Bitcoin become dumber and less numerous the higher that the USD:BTC price goes. As the last remaining no-coiners, they clutch onto prior beliefs to rationalise away the new economic that they cannot comprehend and espouse it loudly to either prevent the inevitable, find company or appease prior fiat-Keynes overlords. Price and stupidity of this group appear to be correlated, while their population number is inversely correlated.

"What they really should do is back Bitcoin with USD!" Slow down egg head, you appear to be demonstrating Donnelly's Law.

Hermans Law

If it's not broken, he will break it
If it can't be fixed he can fix it

paddy's law

"A well-known rule that any reddit thread that becomes large enough will eventually have an American pretending to be Irish." -u/MacHaggis

Americans often like to identify themselves as the nationality of their ancestors despite not having that nationality themselves. They'll claim to be Irish on forums like Reddit, where you expect someone saying they're Irish to be from Ireland.

While interacting with people actually from Ireland, they still claim to be Irish despite having no connection to the country. Usually they cite culture and bloodlines as the justification.

"I'm Irish, which is why I've always wanted to visit Ireland. My great-great grandmother was from Ireland, so I'm both culturally and genetically Irish. I grew up hearing all about Ireland because it's my family's homeland. I've never heard of 'The Troubles' though, is that a new band?"

"As an actual Irish person, you're not Irish, you're American. Paddy's law strikes in every goddamn thread."
