We were chilling and she was remarking how relatable tabpocalypses were, having always like forty tabs open. I asked her, in my smuggest tone, to guess how many tabs i had open. She guessed sixty. I told her lower. She guessed thirty. I said lower. She guessed twenty. I said lower. At this point she started to crack, asking me, incredulously, ten?? I said lower, grinning like the devil i am. She took a long shot. Three? I cackled. Lower. Fuck you, she said. I had one tab open.
I can't close my browser or turn off my computer if I haven't closed all my tabs. I have my browser set to always open with a fresh start and to never reopen tabs from when I last closed the browser, because that disturbs me greatly.
My rule of thumb is if I've opened enough tabs for the X to no longer appear if I hover over an unfocused tab, then I've got too many tabs open, and I must Prune Them, Immediately.
this is an easy hurdle for me to overcome: i haven't turned my computer off since 2002
tabs are the sort of thing that i do not trust, as someone who adopted Tabbed Browsing early, but
if I do not have the number of eyes to keep tabs on the tab count, it is too many tabs and i will fight them
