I hope this isn't too controversial...

Don't do that! Milk is conductive. This could make you a serial killer!
- Or you would have a firewire 🤷🏽‍♂️

Getting the order right is not an exact science. It's more of an UART.
- I can't think of a pun good enough to respond with, good job
- You people need to stop bit with the puns.

I’m showing my age here, but that’s likely dvi, and not serial.
9pin is much smaller and 25pin is significantly larger.
But despite my pedantic statement, the joke still stands. Well played.
- Oh christ, DVI is old now.
  
  We're pretty much at the point where 2.5" SSDs are old...
- Same here, although I thought VGA. Dealt with too many parallel cables in the past and that didn't look wide enough.
- Shhhh it's just a different flavor of cereal
  
  Mmmmmm fruity loops of wire
  
  Oh god, I needed to read this comment to actually understand the joke of the post.
- DVI-D uses TMDS, which is a serial protocol. So if you want to be really pedantic you could call it a serial port even though it's not RS232.
  DVI-A also transmits metadata over a serial connection, but the video signal is parallel analog.
  
  Fair! Neat fact!
- Yeah it's clearly a D-Sub connector, I'll allow the meme, the joke's funny.
- Looks a heck of a lot like the RS-485 serial cable I've got on my desk right now. Scale is hard to tell, not sure how big that bowl is.
- I thought the same when I saw it. That's not a DB-9. Harumph!

Fun fact: That's not real milk. It's just Elmer's glue, they use it to stage the perfect shot.
- Food marketing is fascinating
  
  You ever seen the microwaved tampon trick?

I think it is extremely controverserial.
- ...I should've thought of that
- I don't think so.

The milk, the serial needs something to plug in
- True, but what if there isn't enough milk to plug into? Or what if you have too much milk?
  
  It will never be too much milk

Depends. Does the milk come from universal serial boobs?
- h u h

I prefer Parallel Puffs
- I've upgraded all of my bowls to Universal Serial Bowls (the C connector is specifically for cereal).
- It's up to you for your choice of connector, though it would be drier than usual

Put them in whatever order you like.
The bowl goes last.
- ...or does it?
  Veritasium music starts playing
  
  Yes it does, and I will die fighting on this hill.
  
  VSauce*

I generally put the Serial in first, as its very reliable.
- Good choice! I do the same

RS-23ewwwww

Neither. https://tenor.com/view/get-out-movie-cereal-eating-fruit-loops-gif-17699970
- Then it's a snack (I think?)

Gotta take a waterfall approach

What's the bitrate of the milk?
- .02

- Good... good

Excuse me but I'm married and feed both of us - I do it in parallel.
- I m p o s s i b le
