Terminal Aesthetic

A "design" style by engineers who build interfaces that are characterized by functional minimalism, visual austerity, and an absence of emotional or sensory intelligence. They produce systems that are logically sound but clunky, and unmistakably lacking in experiential refinement.

The term plays on "terminal" in two senses: computational (evoking command-line terminals, where interaction is textual, flat, and unforgiving), and existential (suggesting a kind of design that is lifeless or hostile to organic experience).

All automobile user interfaces seem to have a terminal aesthetic.

The Terminator

The act of a woman on her period positioning her body at a 45 degree angle pointing her vagina towards the ceiling. She then stays there allowing the period blood drip to down until it is covering her butthole. She then proceeds to fart making a sweet wet gelatinous sound which fills the air with the smell of iron.

Girl 1: “Hey I heard you were on your period have you ever done The Terminator?”
Girl 2: “No, what’s The Terminator”
Girl 1: “Oh it’s a period blood covered fart”
Girl 1: “Pretty cool right?”
