Why would you need ChatGPT when you can talk to a guinea pig?
What a fun idea! But did nobody ask her what distro she uses?
pssst… I think if you ask nicely, she will answer.
I was there. It was a fun thread.
Finally a source of intelligent responses!
Heavy use of shift seems sus.
other keyboard layouts than qwerty exist
I doubt it more due to the frequency of guinea pig shits. Unless they’ve been genetically modified since my childhood to poop less often, I could not envision a world where that keyboard does not have crap under the keys after the first response.
I had Guinea pigs too. I’d slap down their little front paws on the keyboard to type
Caps lock is an option
Caps lock doesn’t change the number row to use the alternate characters. It’d still type numbers.
That depends on software keyboard layout. For example, for German hardware keyboards on Windows you can choose “Deutsch” and “Deutsch (IBM)” the latter has caps lock not affect the numbers.
Are you an Apple user? I have that same issue with my tablet. My PC and almost all other computers I’ve used do change the numbers with caps lock.
Huh? I’ve never seen a computer where caps lock affects the number keys. Am I living under a rock?

No. Current Linux user, former Windows user. I’ve never seen a device where caps lock effects those key’s functions. Are you an Apple user, and if not are you using a different keyboard layout than QWERTY?
Ah I do have a German keyboard… I didn’t think that would have much of an effect. What do people do that don’t have the motor control to press shift and another key together when using a different keyboard?
While I’d probably prefer it to having to use Windows an Apple computer newer than the year 2000 wouldn’t really be something I’m interested in.
You can customize the caps lock behavior on linux if you want, i have my caps lock work as an additional control button.
On Gnome you can do it from the Gnome Tweaks app.That depends on software keyboard layout. For example, for German hardware keyboards on Windows you can choose “Deutsch” and “Deutsch (IBM)” the latter has caps lock not affect the numbers.
Agreed. Is a Guinee pig heavy enough to press two keys at a time?
Definitely. Even the clickiest of mechanical switches only take about 80 grams to depress.
Yes, they weigh a couple pounds. A Syrian hamster is probably heavy enough to press two keys at once let alone a guinea pig.
Still better than 95% of reddit posts.
Love this lol
