I dont often see stickers on cars but when I do, one of them is the apple logo. What is it for?

Edit: I'm in Germany in case that's relevant

My wife uses mac and gets a lot of these stickers.

I put them on everything because I find it silly: my Thinkpad, my Nintendo Switch, the cat toilet...

[–] moseschrute@lemmy.world 46 points 1 month ago (4 children)

Is the cat toilet a litter box, or an actual toilet?

[–] not_that_guy05@lemmy.world 16 points 1 month ago

Real question being asked here.

[–] moistclump@lemmy.world 8 points 1 month ago

Toilet made out of cats.

[–] AAA@feddit.org 6 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Cat sized actual toilet

That being said, I'm not OP, so who knows.

I like to imagine it’s one of these.

Depends on your tolerance for stretched definitions, but it's one of those covered litterboxes a door.

An Apple sticker on a Thinkpad? Please, tell me you also installed Linux on it. That would be peak irony, right there.

I had an HP laptop that was silver in color and looked similar to a macbook. I put an Apple sticker on the HP logo and had Arch running on it.

[–] chaosCruiser@futurology.today 5 points 1 month ago

LOL.
This is the way.

I used to have a job processing used laptops from offices and you would not believe how many people put Apple stickers on Thinkpads and other non-Apple products. I guess for a lot of them it's like saying, "I'd rather be using a Mac," or it was just to be silly, I have no idea.

[–] chaosCruiser@futurology.today 5 points 1 month ago

I think it’s just for the giggles.

[–] Deestan@lemmy.world 4 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Ya, it's a work laptop so cut the disk in half and installed Pop!OS Linux on one half and kept Windows just in case work needed it.

Then I needed GUIX OS and installed it over the Windows partition, so it's a dualboot Linux/Linux now.

Maybe I should put two Apple stickers on it.

[–] chaosCruiser@futurology.today 2 points 1 month ago

Two stickers in the 69 orientation. It’s legally required at this point.

[–] northernlights@lemmy.today 5 points 1 month ago

I used to stick them on servers and firewalls at work, I thought it was funny.

Likewise, back when I built my first big pants real PC out of actual new components and not just hand-me-down bullshit cannibalized from decommissioned office stuff, I put the plethora of stickers that came with everything on the little rear triangle windows on my car. As if they were riceboy components instead, which in a way I suppose they were. Many of them were those textured stamped aluminum ones and they survived for quite a long time.

Surely at least one confused tuner saw this and puzzled over what the hell G.Skill and MSI "car parts" were supposed to do.

Here's another sign of the times: Out of all the parts for my current rig, only two of them came with stickers. What a rip-off. My processor came with an AMD sticker (just a cheap vinyl one this time) and my motherboard came with an Aorus sticker which is at least textured metal. I stuck both of them to the inside of the front door on my case.
