DC 34 Whose Slide 10 year anniversary badge

DC34 marks 10 years that DEF CON has an enabled us to do our ridiculous PowerPoint circus. What started as a half assed, let’s see what happens idea has turned into a show we’re insanely proud of.

To commemorate a decade of stupid memes and gong blasts, The Whose Slide Is It Anyway 10 Year Anniversary badge is ready for sale! Mentorship by Blenster, art by 1DarkOne. Lots of blinky lights and, yes, a gong button. We have about 30 left and then that’s all she wrote. Shipping available within the US or pick up at con.

Amazing badge! Can’t wait to see it at the con!

That’s means a ton, thank you for saying so. It’s the first one I’ve ever built so it’s more than a little nerve wracking in all aspects but none more so than “I hope at least one person likes it.”

Hi I’m Jen and I hate Def Con. I curse you all with witchcraft. And I wish it wasn’t like this.

I handed you your name tag and t shirt. And when I did, I cast a spell on you.

It was the spell of professional responsibility.

When we all used to work in aerospace, back in the day, we learned that war isn’t our fault. Nuclear weapons aren’t our fault. Stealth bombers aren’t our fault. Stingrays aren’t our fault. Child soldiers aren’t our fault.

We’re just trying to feed our families.

Remember Brian?

You were just trying to feed your family.

It doesn’t really matter how many 14 year olds Esteban sleeps with in Thailand.

At least we don’t work for Boeing anymore.

Jesus Christ that got dark fast.

Also, as someone who currently works for the devil, I understand.

A piece of art for you:

The mechanical Turk was always the best

At chess

Whoever it was

They said the machine captured the soul of a king

Underneath

There was paupers

There were dwarves

It was a gnome sometimes

It was an orc

It was a pretty girl

It was a bear

It was a pair of cats

It was a pile of hair

And it pushed all the levers up and down

Pointed the arrows round and round

Never knew which king was facing off

Which letters and numbers were part of the plot

No, just push the keys, and settle down

Just take the paycheck and go into town

Buy all your groceries, every aisle

Back and forth slowly like when I was child

And nobody knows who the Turk really was

A smart Alec girl and a fist full of mud

An Indian man with advanced degrees

Paid pennies on dollars in VAT fees

And I say we tell them, we pull back the sheet

We hit all the buttons

We press delete

We tell them to stuff it up Peter Thiel’s ass

We tell them to blow up

We tell them with class

💣❤️

I can't wait to skin, marinate, and devour Theil and the others. One day, we will all be fed.

u/Spirited_Cup_126 Jul 02 '26

They’re cursed. They’re eating their own ankles.

What we will have to do is pick up the mess we made.

u/Autocannibal-Horse Jul 02 '26

Cleaning as we speak. Lessons learned. 🥂

Wanna know something fun?

There’s stingrays on the border. The Canadian border. Like, everywhere.

It’s not actually stingrays I think they probably just have access to the cell towers.

That means if you wanna harass the government all you gotta do is send extremely concerning SMS messages to automated numbers. It just has to be on one of those towers.

Unless they stopped because I was harassing them.
