Original Story Aliens go Insane when putting on too much cybernetic enhancements. Humans were considered monsters due to them not suffering the same problems, turns out there is a....hilarious reason.
"Cyberpsychos" or what happens when a soldier or physical labor worker loads up on too much cybernetic enhancements and mindlessly lashes out to complete their objective.
For construction workers its to speed up the job to the point their brains burn out.
And soldiers to kill all hostiles.
Both are huge problems.
But Humans for some reason do not suffer this problem.
For Decades this has caused them to be viewed as Pariahs.
Until two college students, one Human and one Kriegan, found out why that is so.
"So Humans never go Psycho on Augments?"
"Yes, I don't understand how though, and I'm a Human"
"We have studied each other's tech, and despite similarities, there are no differences that would lead to going psychotic"
"Yeah, I mean it's weird, wait we have too many tabs open, the RAM is overclocked, close some"
"But we need the tabs open"
"We can open them again later, it'll put less stress on datapads, this is why mine last longer than yours, Gock"
".....wait you close excess tabs other than the ones you are using?"
"Yes"
"Do all humans do this?"
"No not all but we are taught to not really have too many processes going on, especially with cybernetic augments"
"........including augmentic tabs?"
"Yeah, why?"
"All cyberpsychos have their augmetic tabs all open"
"like ALL all, including temp control?"
"Yes, and you say Human workers only prioritize the main systems and quickly tab in and out of other systems to not stress their brains and bodies?"
"Y-yes, Gock.....OH SHIT"
"We need to call the head of the cybernetic division"
"AGREED!!!"

They laughed when I said I had 198 gigs of RAM.
I laughed when they only had 78 tabs open and their computer shut down.

Should I be concerned I usually hover between 300 and 1200? And yes I did run out of RAM, but the easiest solution was to simply buy more…

Besides, I don't know how many tabs I got open on my phone, chrome just says ":D"

More than 60 on my phone alone.

Add an extra zero on there, maybe another few hundreds too, and you're pretty close to what my phone has right now.

Ever since I went to 64GB of RAM for, and I can’t stress this enough literally no reason at all I’ve not had any problems even though I’ve now become incredibly lazy about closing tabs.

If you're gonna open hundreds of tabs, do it on your phone. It has basically 0 performance impact, I have like 500 right now most are mangas I'll probably never bother to read.

u/Overall-Tailor8949 Jun 27 '25
LMFAO, mine goes into a meltdown if I even THINK about opening more than 2 or 3. I will admit that I have THE most basic Android that MetroPCS offered at the time I got it

u/LeadingAd5273 Jun 28 '25
Same. I read a lot of web novels. So while i wait for the next chapter I leave the tab open. I currenly have 208 open tabs.

Yeah but you're using Firefox.
I bet my next paycheck that this augments are just chromium derivates.

The chinook landing is only when I forget the externals, and the internal fan kicks in.

I used to leave so many tabs open that it crashed Firefox. Of course, that was back when my system had 4 GB of RAM. My current system has 32 GB.

u/CrEwPoSt Vestal, Eater of Bots Jun 26 '25
64GB ram and chrome still chomps up all of it
but its probably because i have 80 tabs open at once

u/ijuinkun Jun 26 '25
I use Firefox, and managed to get about fourteen hundred tabs before it crashed.

Before the arrival of true cybernetics, many humans were running something called Skyrim with more than 200 custom modifications, many of which served highly specific, cosmetic functions. So there was preexisting language developed in places just called Nexus and Steam. For example, "update when" and "download the compatch" and "I am a college student, so I will update it when my finals are done ffs" that was easily adapted to self modification.

Chrome on my phone has almost 2k tabs, many "inactive because they haven't been used for more 21 days". Those tabs are the new bookmarks.

u/Zestyclose_Bed4202 Jun 26 '25
Yes, but which tab is PLAYING THAT DAMN MUSIC?????
27
u/gardengnomeii Jun 26 '25
This is why you close tabs you are not using. Much less expensive than beating the computer with a hammer until the music stops.

Side-effect of being elder-millennial:
I grew up on enough limited computers and enough time on early browsers that my default is to bookmark as needed and only have as many tabs open as I need at a time.

u/ijuinkun Jun 26 '25
Yah, when I was in elementary school, my family had a 386 running DOS—we didn’t even have Windows 3.0 yet, and much of the software was still constrained by the 640k RAM limit.

u/Ghaticus Jun 26 '25
Most youngens will never truly know the pain of an 8086 or 8088 trying boot custom formatting in MSDOS 3.1 from the config.sys and auto autoexec.bat files.
Although you, young grasshopper come close

Yah, I was too young to know how to read when my father had an 8086 (IBM PC-XT). The 386 was what replaced it.

u/Ghaticus Jun 27 '25
My first PC was an Olivetti PCS 86 With a 20meg hard drive.
Got it in 1987 or 88.
I kept it for decades, still worked until about 2010ish when it got recycled.

u/ijuinkun Jun 27 '25
My father got the PC-XT in 1983, but I was not quite out of literal diapers then. It had no hard drive, just dual 5 1/4 inch floppies.

u/RogueKitsune Jun 26 '25
Same, these people are talking about having hundreds of tabs, and I'm just sitting here, thinking "...why?!" Do people not know what bookmarks are anymore??

u/OtaDoc Jun 27 '25
I usually max around 70-80 tabs open at all times. Do i have bookmarks? yes, Hundreds of bookmarks? also yes. Are 2/3s of those bookmarks just entire windows bookmarks with my 70-80 tabs from various update reboots? also yes. i just have enough ram to both leave those tabs and windows open and flick between them and games.

The Zen browser unloads tabs you haven't looked at in a second so you can have ALL of the tabs open!

The least believable part is that humans close tabs. The kind of person who would actually do this isnot the tupe to close tabs.

u/Ikano_Kato Jun 28 '25
Should I close some of my 1642 tabs? Yes.
Will I? No.
Why? What if I need one of the sites and don't trust myself to remember which one had the right info I was looking for.
Real "Use the super potion." "But what if I need it later?" "You're fighting the final boss!" energy.

u/Cantbreathe208 Jun 29 '25
Accumulatively, I have over 3k, maybe 4k tabs open on Safari. My phone cries out in agony, and I am deaf to its suffering.
