How do convince my brother that hacker culture is a thing, that hackers can spot other hackers at a glance (at their online presence), and that I am not gatekeeping, but they no hacker would call him a hacker.
Anyone who calls themself a hacker, ain't one. Period.

I think I know as much about what you're talking about as your brother, so you come off as really vague. Maybe explain to him some of the core competencies?

those (you)s must have been delicious, but this ain't a tech thread and you are not on topic.
Parker Foster
Sure.
Hackers use, edit, and write open source software. They publish useful information about their projects, builds, customization, etc. They assist noobs and learn from people with vastly more experience.
Some hackers practice meditation, a martial arts, play an instrument, and enjoy wordplay.
I name these things not because they are exactly what a hacker does, but the commonality between all of these cultural activities is that they mix analytical thinking with artistic thought. They are equal parts artist and engineer.
Im sorry to inform you, but this is how this test is passed. Refusing to accept this answer is actually what flags someone having autism
Caleb Adams
the fact that this is literally impossible really bothers me
Ryan Brooks
It’s one of those reverse psychology tests. You have autism when you think there is a solution and desperately try to figure it out to prove you’re not autistic which just proves you are.
That’s it. That’s the test. The solution doesn’t exist. Normal people see it instantly. Autistic people will never stop trying to solve it because there “has to be” a solution.
Joseph Perry
holy fuck i seriously hope this is bait this is like the most cringeworthy thing i have read like in a month
Elijah Bailey
I miss when people tried autism tests instead of deconstructing them
Liam Roberts
its not impossible. passing through a house is logical and not against the rules
Thomas Nelson
>never stop trying to solve it It's possible to achieve closure by providing a proof that it's insoluble
Passing through a house is just one of those "think outside the box" bullshit.
Ian Wilson
>normies give up after 1 try >smart people keep going until someone says that there is no solution (the assignment is a lie). >the actual retards say you have to go through a house (because they searched up the solution and "think different" bullshit).
This test has nothing to do with autists.
This tests just
Julian Fisher
thinking outside the box is often an important problem solving skill. Saying a problem is impossible, insisting its still impossible after being shown a solution, then storming off thinking youre correct and others are wrong is a sign of autism

>going through a house is bullshit >real pipes cant go through a house, they get to the house and just stop >REEEEE EVERYONE IS AUTISTIC BUT ME
Isaiah Powell
it is kindof bait (OP)
Carter Adams
>Normal people see it instantly.
Yeah I'm sure normal people are educated on jordan's curve theorem or euler's formula.
Humans see this challenge and intuitively try to solve it because it looks like it can be solved.
>Autistic people will never stop trying to solve it because there “has to be” a solution.
It's a meme you mong.
Xavier Baker
>thinking in 2d
Brody Cooper
>Thinking real pipes have to go directly from the source to the home. Peak autism m8
Leo Martin
uhh the house is made of lines
Wyatt Hall
so, youre agreeing with me?
youre missing an important detail; the puzzle explicitly says it is possible. that means there *is* a solution. You are free to find a better solution, but crossing through a house is by far the most logical solution and certainly less autistic than adding dimensions and wormholes and shit

bro you have to provide a graphical representation

this, it's just impossible in 2 space

unless you pass through a house
Jacob Hall
duh

you can clearly see in the intersections that the lines are always either above or under one another you solved it dude

All 3 resources go to the middle house. Then from the middle house they Branch out to the other two. This is the solution
Aaron Richardson
Fascinating, after all these years, this picture still merits discussion on this imageboard. I finally understand, how this riddle is testing for autism.
Mason Green
i work with an autistic guy. he seems to think he understands everything. he also clearly doesnt.

>Fascinating, after all these years, you finally understand how this tests for autism.
They are REALLY screwed in business/entrepreneurship if they don't have a normie as a business partner who helps explain the simple things to them and make sure the whole operation doesn't get derailed on some hairbrained scheme.
Not always, I actually know of one autistic guy who earns mad cash with his business, that he operates alone(except for accounting). The 'problem'- he doesn't know what to do with all of that money, except reinvesting it in his business. It's all a numbers game for him, Like playing a clicker game irl. It's equally frightening and innocent. But it makes him happy, and I'm not one to judge what oughts to make people happy in their lives.
Isaac Kelly
I know, that this mentality is also what makes him succeed with his business. He lives in austere conditions This fact is not lost on me. Still, a mind so single-purposed is frigthening, and I'm envious.

If you're on Jow Forums you're probably in the spectrum for sure. That includes you friend.
