There’s a scene in evangelion where the mc jerks it over an unconscious asuka (the character on the video card in the background) and nuts all over his hand.
He covered his hand in thermal paste as a reference.
It’s a (intentionally) creepy scene and extremely off-color for a repair tech to send this to a customer, IMO. Good thing it’s probably fake.
With no context whatsoever my first thought was it was one of those “uh oh, if the thermal paste is on my hand, then that must mean I accidentally put the cum on my cpu…”
I will be deleting this shortly I am sorry
Edit: Most upvotes I’ve gotten on Lemmy. Listen to the guy below. Live your truth, lemmings.
You made a good joke, dont let thine shame and cowardice control thee.
Now that’s funny
Welcome to puberty.
You’re never piloting the robot version of your mother ever again.
It means he wasted 2 or 3 dollars worth of thermal paste. Possibly to make a weird Evangelion reference, based on that other comment.
It means that it’s a sexy GPU
What DOES it mean??
It means he finished
The most unnecessary scene in anime
It honestly took me a few seconds to get.
I’m ashamed it took me that long
I’m even more ashamed I got it at allBut are you as ashamed as Shinji, is what I wonder. I can’t believe I got the ref, though. I’m not even a fan of the show but that scene was so out of nowhere… I guess it did mark me.
It all returns to nothing
This kills the man.
On a not really related note, having Asuka or Rei as a waifu is fucking weird as an adult right? They’re like 14?
Is it wrong to remember your first time if it happened when you were a kid? Same thing.

Okay but know you’re comparing a spouse and child to A FOURTEEN YEAR OLD ANIME GIRL

Is it the 50 year old teacher/coach/priest touching 15 year old boys, or is it the 15 year old boy inside the 50 year old just exploring his sexuality?

People like them have always thought that. Being into anime = being a pedo, it doesn’t matter that it’s now mainstream, these people have thought the same thing for decades.
Honestly it looks like he squirted heat sink goo all over the place (you’re supposed to put it between the cpu and heat sink to let the heat transfer more efficiently). Why he liberally applied it to his hand like jergens and sent you a pick i couldn’t say. But I would wipe the machine down real well when you get it back 🤣
It’s a reference to Asuka (the character on the GPU), and a very creepy scene near the end of the series. The main character jerks it over Asuka’s unconscious body, and we see his hand covered in white fluid (just like the thermal paste is covering the hand in this pic) afterwards.
It’s a symbolic scene that is meant to turn the audience against the main character. Basically, he starts his journey with a very similar shot of his hand covered in blood. And the scene of him jerking it over an unconscious girl’s body is basically the end of his journey as a “good” guy. Evangelion is a very psychological show; The series is meant to turn a bunch of tropes on their heads, and it actively works against the “what doesn’t kill you makes you stronger” trope. It accepts that what doesn’t kill you probably leaves you traumatized. So by the end of the series, all of the characters who started out as heroes have ended up broken and hurting, and are basically treated like Vietnam veterans.
