Richard Stallman Learns About Lain

> The bear suit is a reference to Lain, a fictional character who > transcends her physical form and became a goddess of the internet. I just looked her up in Wikipedia. Thanks. -- Dr Richard Stallman Chief GNUisance of the GNU Project (https://gnu.org) Founder, Free Software Foundation (https://fsf.org) Internet Hall-of-Famer (https://internethalloffame.org)

A humorous text screenshot shows an explanation of Lain, followed by a mock reply and Richard Stallman’s signature block. The joke is that Stallman responds as though he has just discovered the internet character, while his elaborate GNU and free-software credentials make the exchange absurd. It can be sent as a reaction to someone learning about an obscure internet reference or overexplaining a simple topic.
