Looks like someone's mom didn't teach them that water must never be anywhere near computers.
Also looks like someone’s mom never did the "leave an empty tipped-over glass near the computer, set a screen full of error messages as the screensaver, and then tell your child that it destroyed her computer by getting it wet" prank.

Rookie mistake.
To be fair, in the comic this is referencing, Denji (the protagonist and sad-looking boyo there) grew up so desperately poor that I doubt he had much idea of what a computer even *was* for most of his life. Plus, it takes place in a parallel version of 1997, so the Internet is pretty new and home computers aren't that common to begin with.
Two-thousand-zero-zero, party over, oops, outta time! Self-described narcissist and aspiring author with an imagination even I can’t contain. [she/her]
...why did you respond to that as though Aliroz weren't very obviously making an intentionally silly joke?
My mom actually did those things, though; I’m not joking.
If you’re computer-savvy enough to use a mouse and get on the internet, you ought to be computer-savvy enough to know that water+computer is a terrible combination like fork+electrical outlet.
(I do appreciate the context, though, and, to be fair, I wouldn’t have known better in 1997 either, although I guess I have the excuse of being two at the time).

This is Nayuta, from "Nayuta of the Prophecy" who both Oktavia and I have used as an avatar.

It's Sredni, that wouldn't be out of character.
Anyway, here's this.
