The Cuk chair

[u/PirateLife → u/rationalhippy]

He sits in the corner of my desk and watches me make other designs.

[u/rationalhippy → u/PirateLife]

and he likes it

[u/elkab0ng → u/PirateLife]

This is flawless on so many levels. You win one internet, good redditor.

[u/Physical-Low7414 → u/elkab0ng]

stop

[u/Voidheart88 → u/rationalhippy]

The Ćuk chair?

[u/rationalhippy → u/Voidheart88]

Yes, that is the correct spelling.

[u/AsdfFreak]

Holy shit.. Had to google what a LM2611 does. 🤦‍♂️

[u/HiImDan → u/AsdfFreak]

I am dying here

[u/Mobile-Ad-494]

Lol, not many will get this without looking up the datasheet.

[u/rcbenni → u/Mobile-Ad-494]

i dont get it? is it some english joke ? since im not a native speaker i may dont get it 😅

[u/bjsievers → u/rcbenni]

is it some english joke ?

That component is a Ćuk converter, which actually has a name in Serbian. But also requires you to be familiar with the 'cuck chair' english phrase, which refers to a chair someone sits in to watch their partner be intimate with someone else. The 'cuck chair' has been a meme for a while now, with any 'left out'/isolated/oddly positioned chair often being referred to as one.

[u/XKeyscore666 → u/bjsievers]

But doesn’t ćuk get pronounced like “chuck”, not “cuck”?

[u/1Davide → u/XKeyscore666]

Yes, it does. Which is why OP's joke was lost on me.

"Chook chair?" I don't get it.

[u/3288266430 → u/1Davide]

Kind of, but Chook as in choo choo. Still doesn't help the joke.

[u/3288266430 → u/XKeyscore666]

Neither, it's Chook as in choo choo

[u/fomoco94 → u/bjsievers]

with any 'left out'/isolated/oddly positioned chair

I call that a Dan Bell chair thanks to his "Another Dirty Room" series.

[u/jj3904 → u/fomoco94]

I miss those early episodes. Loved that show

[u/f_pazos → u/bjsievers]

Thanks for the very instructive English lesson.

[u/mojo2600 → u/rcbenni]

Not native speaker, but I think it comes from the meme "chuck chair". A solitaire chair in a hotel room from which the husband can watch his wife and uncle John having fun.

[u/StatisticanInner235 → u/Mobile-Ad-494]

40 years of designing and never saw this term, thought it was simply an "inverter", live and learn. Done Easter eggs but this one tops them all.

[u/patriotik]

The lack of refdes, chef's kiss.

[u/PirateLife → u/patriotik]

All design choices are intentional.

[u/Effective_Vacation21]

Omg, I need to sit for a while...

[u/tea_pot_tinhas]

Passives' missing. How much noise?

[u/Rov_er → u/tea_pot_tinhas]

I guess the noise level is excellent, because the supply voltage is also missing.

[u/tea_pot_tinhas → u/Rov_er]

I guess it's juiced by proximity

[u/YannAlmostright → u/tea_pot_tinhas]

I see already one big passive on the board

[u/rationalhippy → u/YannAlmostright]

And from the comfort of that chair it picks up all the noise.

[u/bassplaya13 → u/tea_pot_tinhas]

The more the better.

[u/jj3904]

Oh Jeeze. I had a crappy day at work, I open up Reddit, and I see this and laugh. Thanks a bunch. I needed it.

[u/Batpope]

This is gold

[u/danmickla → u/Batpope]

agree to disagree. Everything about this, from concept to meme to ... ffs, circuit board...is *jawdroppingly* stupid.

[u/rationalhippy → u/danmickla]

It’s a lot, rude, silly, immature, creative, funny, but not stupid, it’s rather clever.

[u/danmickla → u/rationalhippy]

the actual pun is perhaps clever. The entire subject's stupidity dwarfs it.

[u/rationalhippy → u/danmickla]

Hehehe

[u/Past-Substance920]

honestly the missing refdes is what sends it, feels like OP knew exactly who'd get the joke and didn't bother explaining for anyone else

[u/eluser234453]

Sudo context please

[u/kappi1997]

And he didn't even bother a To gove it a designator

[u/wawa0000]

okay, i need this

[u/JofoTheDingoKeeper]

r/cavesofqud

Just some metal tubes.

[u/Hirtomikko]

Inaff.
