I see at least two problems here:
-
Don't pull on the cable, pull on the plug.
-
Use EU power sockets, it is safer, more like :q! when existing vim and unsaved changed you made to the file are lost for sure.

Ah yes, I'll just replace all my power sockets, get rid of all my electronics, and only buy imported European electronics from now on.
It's so obvious, why didn't I think of it before.
Oh yeah, and rewire my whole house to 240 V. Easy peasy.
To be fair, switching to 240v is pretty easy, just move the neutral to a hot leg in the fuse box.
Wouldn't that hot leg need to be 180 degrees out of phase with the other?
Yes but I wasβt trying to write a book this morning.

use UK power sockets it's ever more safe
That's how you brexit vim tho. Takes years to complete, no coming back and bricks everything else in the process.
Triple comment, my dude
dammit it was refusing to send the message so I kept retrying it's never done that to me before
It has done it to me before lol

Instructions unclear, electrocuted while replacing outlets.
See, that's why I just flip the circuit breakers to ensure a successful exit

Exiting Vim is for beginners.
Veterans stay in Vim till the end of time. Probably for the same reasons why the meme in post was made.
Start a second shell and kill the process π
Glad ubuntu defaults to nano. One of the few decent choices that distro ever made
I see they reused the instructions for ed, great to see how intuitive Linux is between different programs
Well ed is the standard text editor after all
My point exactly, I am just happy Vim follows the standard (:
I really don't get the exit vim meme anymore.
It's just two key presses, trivial. When you hit <C-c> it tells you exactly what to do. Anyone stuck in vom either does not read or has no idea how to use a terminal.
Edit: I'm German, I meant vim.
Yeah vom is easy. Have you tried exiting vim tho?
Whenever I have to edit a text file when nauseous, I just vom it.
I mean how hard could it be, you just press some random letters until it exits
Vim is unintuitive. If you are a new linux CLI user and follow some tutorials that tells you to run vim, modify something then save and exit, it can be daunting.
:x simple as. Vim was the first terminal text editor I used so I'm biased.

The laughing comes when you are so used to vim that you begin using :q in other programs and wonder why doesn't it exit.
For the more advanced, there's a button(the more sophisticated may call it a βswitchβ) for that(on the wall(the fuse))
I use arc, btw.
Doesn't work on laptops.
then disassemble the laptop and remove the battery connection
Maybe that's why Linux users enjoy old ThinkPads so much, you can just pull out the battery without opening the laptop.

I simply avoid this issue by not starting vim in the first place.
Just click the X on your terminal window.
Don't pull plugs out of the wall by the cord. Grab the base of the plug firmly and pull perpendicular to the wall
So you're saying I shouldn't pull the socket out of the wall to unplug?

Why would you exit vim tho? Are you being forced under duress or something?
Better turn off all the breakers in your house. Just to make sure you've really closed it
Burn down the sub station to be sure...
Steal a nuclear bomb and wipe out your entire city. That's my strat
it's just too many keys to press at once i cant do it
See how the socket looks like a V?
That's how you remember it's meant to be used to exit vi.
The funny thing is that at first everyone has difficulty with VIM. π€£
Prevention is key:
alias vim='emacs'
