Many people online have named their cat this Unix command, and told people to run it in their terminal.

(spoiler alert; It's a fork bomb, but for your ram)

Person 1: *sends image with caption of "This cat's name is :(){:|:&};: you should type his name on your linux's terminal"*
Person 2: (likely a beginner) "uhh ok"
Person 1, seeing Person 2 go offline: "lol he actually fell for it"

Person 2 after system reboot: "192.168.0.1"

A reference to an issue of a webcomic called Ctrl+Alt+Del, written by Tim Buckley. In this issue, called "Loss", the main character, Ethan, walks through hospital doors, talks to a receptionist, talks to a doctor, and sees his girlfriend lying on a hospital bed after having a miscarriage. Each of the lines are supposed to represent a character. This meme has lasted since its start in 2008, and is still relevant. It is usually accompanied by the phrase "Is this loss?"

The "ascii" version of the "rock horns" which is the act of holding up your hand(s) above your head with your pinky, index finger, and sometimes thumb extended, usually while listening to rock and/or metal music. This is often accompanied with a steady "head bob" a.k.a. "headbanging".

Did you check out the show last night? That band ROCKED! |,,/, ,\,,|
