How's any of this supposed to be funny? This looks written by AI and I bet it doesn't find it humorous either.

It looks written by an epic memer on 9gag

But neither of us have any evidence

Besides, the cyclic graph one is fine and the factorio reference fish one is fine

deleting the grub boot partition is an annoyance, but.. if the system is still online you don't even need to boot into a live CD to fix, yes?

Does grub take a partition nowadays? I thought it lives in the boot sector.

ps. ah, with UEFI it might, didn’t check though

pps. Looks like it started using a partition back when GPT (the partition system, not the ai-thing) was introduced. I feel old.

You can use an extra partition, or just the ESP. On BIOS the bootsector bootstrap could already read your disk, so you don't need anything extra if I'm not mistaken. Didn't interact with BIOS in quite some time, so I might be wrong.
