Just like hackers need an black hoodie. And where can I get one? Is a simple costume one enough or do I need an expensive one?

Sry I'm new here.

No, but at leat say "yo ho" when you download something. Also VPN.

Yarr is the preferred vernacular to us older pirates.

You wouldn't download a hat.

You need a boat. How do you sail the high seas without a boat.

I don't know where to get the boat tho.

[–] Shayeta@feddit.de 20 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Don't you DARE call my mighty vessel a boat. It's a ship, A SHIP!! You feebleminded SIMPLETON!

[–] Chais@sh.itjust.works 3 points 2 years ago

If I learned anything from Luffy it's that you can call any ship a boat 😁

Stan S.Stanman sells some used ones for great prices.

This is a common misconception. A ski mask is both effective and very adaptable. The pirate hat is antiquated, bulky, and has a much more restrictive use case. If you're in a pinch you can just use a face mask. It also has the advantage of preventing malware, but any experienced user would take the ski mask over an N95 for flexibility.

Newspaper can be folded into a hat in a pinch.

[–] JoeKrogan@lemmy.world 17 points 2 years ago

This was all covered in the on boarding process. We'll let it slide this time but next time have your hat on or you'll have to walk the plank 😄

[–] DemBoSain@midwest.social 13 points 2 years ago

Hat? Unnecessary. But an eye-patch helps reduce nausea when using VR goggles to search for booty.

Follow the pirate code and share the spoils, i.e. be seeding.

[–] LocustOfControl@reddthat.com 3 points 2 years ago

Those rules be more of a guideline though.

Think about renting a parrot. That's what I did for a while before getting my sea legs

[–] snooggums@kbin.social 12 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Imagine the vocabulary of a rented parrot.

A bandana is fine if you have one.

[–] SayJess@lemmy.blahaj.zone 10 points 2 years ago

An eye patch will suffice. If you really want to show your dedication, a wooden peg leg would be ideal. I should note that it is a bit difficult to conceal a peg leg in public.

An eye patch, a parrot or a wooden leg will also do

Nah, as long as you buy it dinner first, or at least try to connect on an emotional level, it'll let you enter.

[–] sheepishly@kbin.social 6 points 2 years ago

I've got a big pirate flag hanging up in my room, is that good enough?

What you reallly need is a tattoo of a small plant in a box to represent that you have a seedbox.

[–] Harry_h0udini@lemmy.dbzer0.com 5 points 2 years ago

Most important: A mindful for seeding the downloads.

[–] 0ops@lemm.ee 3 points 2 years ago

Not per se, but it is ideal

[–] DoomBot5@lemmy.world 3 points 2 years ago

You have to pirate it first.

[–] hperrin@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago

I find this stereotype offensive.

[–] Omega_Haxors@lemmy.ml 1 points 2 years ago

It comes with.
