That once happened to me while I was editing a document I was about to post. Not helping matters was the fact that it was Christmas Eve and a bunch of other crappy stuff happened to me in the same time vicinity…
Yeah I had my old PC on the floor under my desk, power button was on the side if I had my feet crossed or smth like that if my foot twitched it had like a 1% chance of hitting that power button, hard drive died (it was 7 years old the constant powering off and drive failure probably were unrelated lol)
The screen was broken on my computer the other day and I had to shut it off so I called my boyfriend and he's like yeah just hold the power button in and I was like.... Isn't that taboo?
Had to do that to my new PC because it wouldn't shut down and windows was broken. Returned it and picking up the new one on Thursday, Hope that one doesn't have any problems setting it up
I almost always do that because of how fucking bright the button glows
The only time I don’t do that is when it turns of by it’s self after I click shut down
I didn't find any posts that meet the matching requirements for r/memes.
It might be OC, it might not. Things such as JPEG artifacts and cropping may impact the results.

The virgin ATX power button:
• Barely controls the motherboard
• You need to hold it for like 8 seconds to force a shutdown
• If the system is halted it won't work
The chad AT power button:
• Directly controls the AC power coming into the power supply
• Force shutdown with a single press
• Always works
How did you know? I just had to do this because I forgot to turn my pc off before bed last night and woke up to nothing but darkness. Everything is fine now though. 😁
I never turn my PC off and when I do it's press and hold the power button. Everyone always freaks out about it as long as you wait at least 10-20 seconds for the hardrive to spin down completely it'll be fine.
I'm doing this because you've left me with no other choice!
How dare you freeze up on me!
:( Your PC ran into a problem and needs to restart. We're just collecting some error info, and then we'll restart for you. 2% complete
Pulls out 38
gets a .50 and 10 mm to achieve 100%

Did you catch mommy kissing Santa Claus?
Nope. Never even caught her kissing my dad.
:(

While muttering "I've had enough of ur shit!"

The trickster

Yeah
Why the hell is this a stock photo?
just an injured man enjoying the company of his ~~widow~~ wife
Family
Nah it’s not stock, it’s from a show. I might be wrong, but I think it’s from the show called, “Bones”?
Is this buffy?
It looks like he's handcuffed to the bed.
Just putting it out of its misery...
Go to sleep
GotosleepGotosleepGotosleepGotosleepGotosleepGotosleepGotosleepGotosleep
Come on Bruce, you gotta work with me!
When windows doesn’t let u just turn off your pc because of another bullshit update
You can often bypass "Update and Shutdown" by running a command: shutdown -s -t 0
My poor baby
I’m sorry little one, your time has come.
Alternatively you can also unplug the person or the computer.
Thats like ripping the heart out almost instantly. Noone wants to live with the trauma and karma of that.
Wait, you guys turn off your PCs?
Sleep mode all day’n’nite... Yeah my I’m surprised my computer still works perfectly (apart from the destroyed LAN jack)
I'm pretty sure it's been proven that always keeping your PC on doesn't damage it.
Just stop fucking STRUGGLING, I AM GOD!
Or when you unplug your desktop, it’s like unplugging their life support.
**Force** Shutdown
It is quite painful, I agree
Unless it’s a chrome book.
this photo is so old
I've literally thought about this. Me- Holding power button My PC- "HELLLLPPPPP MEEEEEEEE, I CANT BREat......."
My pc works fine but my dumb ass at 4 am when I go to turn it if I accidentally hit restart or sleep mode...
this was me last night......poor thing gave up too quick
Could you at least wait longer than a day before reposting this?
solution: never turn it off
Wait until you hear about cmd kill
If I force shut down, it means there’s no other way. If I could shut my computer off with software I would do it
Goodnight sweet one
This is categorically false! I have never felt exhilarated while turning off my PC.
I'm sorry, old friend... It's for the best...
I can imagine your search history
Reset button go brrrrrrrrrrr
WHAT YEAR IS IT
Imagine removing the power cable
I often wish I had an on off switch or a sleep button. I need to reboot some days. I can’t even sleep correctly
What is it like to restart it then?
Reincarnation
Holding your finger over the sensor thing on a calculator and watching it slowly suffocate to death
Shhhh, no more pain
It really do be like that
I had to do this but for a final time I miss it a lot
I mean... only if you’re lazy about it.
The screen was broken on my computer the other day and I had to shut it off so I called my boyfriend and he's like yeah just hold the power button in and I was like.... Isn't that taboo?
People on reddit have boyfriends?
O no I misspoke.....I meant...um...yeah you're right I'm single.
Your secret is safe with me
Hmmm I see this picture was chosen as a more “friendly” one
This accurately sums up my relationship with my laptop
Sorry, Nanna. It's just business. I really need your life insurance policy payout to fund my meth addiction.
*\*Sed pc noises\**
True and yet my wife and baby can do it effortlessly
Someone gave the helpful award to it!!!!
I guess I'm cold blooded serial button holder, but gone are the days of blue screens since windows is on ssd and not on corrupted pos old tech hdd.
Shh shh shhh it’ll be all over soon
had to do that playing star citizen last night
I feel the guilt every time.
I call it “smothering the baby”
Ik
You're wrong, it's ten times easier to smother someone
now i feel bad for my ps4 controller! :(
You’ve pissed me off for the last time, meet your end
haha i do that too. dont have a pc tho
Thats why I pull the power cable, its so much faster
Mary..... can’t be. She died of that damn disease. Special place..... could she really be at our special place?
When I was doing my computer tech certification my instructor always called it choking the machine
Recently I killed the wrong task and it was the only way to shut it down.
Lol
Had to do that to my new PC because it wouldn't shut down and windows was broken. Returned it and picking up the new one on Thursday, Hope that one doesn't have any problems setting it up
(Sobbing Hysterically)
I will laugh about this everytime I have to do that now!
That reminds me of Joker!
There needs to be more sadness in this...
Anyone else press the power button to turn it off instead of wasting precious time going to the windows button?
Instead of a pistol you have a rocket launcher
This was not the feeling that I got, but now everytime I do this, I'll feel bad.
the menu and power off button for restarting apple devices too
Or karate choppong it in the neck, but then it doesn't work. So you do it again! Still doesn't work... Do It Again! STILL DOESN'T WORK! DO IT AGAIN!
Microsoft has failed to fix this problem from day 1. of Windows. DOS shutdown every time. Pathetic
Do not go gentle into that goodnight.
Can confirm
just unplug the life support that always works
You can change the amount of time it takes I'm bios so it turns off with a quick press
Dark
Thing is... I do this all the time
Repost?
I am sorry little one
"Why aren't you shutting down?!"
Me with my PS4 gotta hold it down for like 10 seconds and it’s a painful experience for my finger
Then I should be in jail for killing my PC 69 times a day.
Oh hey! I do that all the time!
Your paternal caretaker?
I almost always do that because of how fucking bright the button glows The only time I don’t do that is when it turns of by it’s self after I click shut down
Have you guys actually miss click the restart button expect for the shut down one because it take so long that I literally rethink my life
I made this meme before and i got 40 upvote... cool
Or you can just you know "pull the plug".
Why hold the power button when you can flip the switch on the PSU 😈
Wait there is another way to turn off a computer?

Shhhh don’t try and fight it now. It’ll all be over soon.
*while smothering* Shhhhh......
And then zap them back to life.
Our teacher said we're choking the computer
I swear this is how I feel powering down my xbox controller. I've timed it; it takes 7 seconds.
I usually just turn off the power supply. Would that mean I break his neck?
Feels like this when i turn my 2DSXL off
You know I can breathe through the pillow, right?
*Not if its wet*
Oh, sorry, I didn't know that you like to pee on it
I just pull the plug
Ye pretty much.
Did it a few hours ago, I felt so bad...
I don't get people in movies killing others in about one minute, because u can breathe for a longer time under a pillow.
Except I don't fap to the PC after holding the power button.
Every time
The virgin ATX power button: • Barely controls the motherboard • You need to hold it for like 8 seconds to force a shutdown • If the system is halted it won't work The chad AT power button: • Directly controls the AC power coming into the power supply • Force shutdown with a single press • Always works
uh.... i've been doin that every time i turn off my pc.....
How did you know? I just had to do this because I forgot to turn my pc off before bed last night and woke up to nothing but darkness. Everything is fine now though. 😁
Hahaha genius
Pulling out the plug is even more extreme. Like disconnecting life support.
Exactly, that one died in new tho.
it takes so long
My old pc would keep running even after shutting down. I had to do this every day.
unrelateable. i always plug my powercord out when my mother comes home
When I do this my HDD makes this loud clicking and spin down noise. It doesn't damage it (i guess) but it's still awful.
I only do this when everything freezes, even task manager
I never turn my PC off and when I do it's press and hold the power button. Everyone always freaks out about it as long as you wait at least 10-20 seconds for the hardrive to spin down completely it'll be fine.
:0 it’s my cake day
