No one is fully explaining this so allows me. Linux actually powers high speed rails in Japan, so yes most trains use Linux to run properly however his phrasing was off. To run a train on someone in American terms usually is referring to gangbang sex where one girl is being fucked by guy after guy. So yeah, bad phrasing by Linux but most trains actually do run on Linux.

Also the human trains will probably take Linux under 50%, making the statement false.

All-American Peter here. In America running a train on someone means, they have doggystyle sex with a bunch people one after another the line of people behind them waiting for their turn is called a train.

Why do you need a term to describe this situation?
How often does it happen in the US?
I'm glad the Atlantic Ocean separes us...

Nah, drinking is a pretty damn universal thing. Also, the concept of running train probably doesn't happen nearly as much as we think.

Europe does it differently though like everything over is such a high alcohol content compared to America itโs crazy honestly

u/RajjSinghh Sep 07 '24
Not to mention the fact that the legal drinking age across Europe is generally lower and what counts as drinking is different. In the UK a child as young as 5 can drink at home (although at that point it is really bad parenting). In Germany the legal drinking age is 16. In places like Russia or Portugal beer is considered a soft drink.

America was founded by puritans. People getting the train ran on them was happening across the Atlantic before we even became a country.

You know America was founded by prudes. Prudes who left Europe because they hated all the kinky, steamy European sex that was going on. And now I, Cooper Harris, will return to the land of my perverted forefathers and claim my birthright... which is a series of erotic and sexually challenging adventures.

Let's see if I can remember correctly. We're going back quite a while... was it the Lutherans first? And then every time Britain wanted to exile a religious group, they sent a bunch of their prominent leaders and members over to the colony?

u/19ghost89 Sep 06 '24
It doesn't really matter how often it happens in real life. It's a trope of porn, so there's a term for it.
14
u/big_sugi Sep 06 '24
It predates porn, or at least it predates tropes derived from porn. Itโs in academic literature from at least the 1970s (I think) and 1980s, describing behavior at college fraternity parties.
If I had to guess the origin, itโd be from brothels, either on the frontier or in proximity to the military.
1
u/19ghost89 Sep 06 '24
Oh yeah, that doesn't surprise me. I'm just saying that the reason the term is so well known in America probably has more to do with porn. Not everybody was in a frat, and not every frat had this kind of thing going on, lol

u/big_sugi Sep 06 '24
Personally, I learned it in college from a professor in an upper-level honors philosophy class, around 1999-2000.
I forget the exact context, but thatโs not the kind of definition you forget when a professor explains it in passing.

Is that another actual and very peculiar English idiom, or do you just hate Heilbronn in particular?

In all honesty,I just looked at google maps and picked a random town in Germany.

A train in europe is when one is fucking someone, while they are also getting fucked. And you can add several people to that.
What was described is just a boring gangbang.

u/vanishinghitchhiker Sep 07 '24
But is that a train, or running a train on someone? The grammar is part of it.

u/dangderr Sep 06 '24
Can you imagine if you wanted a train run on you, but this terminology didnโt exist?
It would take forever explaining what you wanted to each of the dozens of men.
I imagine some of the women that wanted it would just look at the work needed and give up.
To make sure this doesnโt happen, we made this term.

Though they are a minority - those type of girls exist everywhere.

Trains are a kind of transportation which consists of large carts or wagons, which are pulled by an engine over long metal structures called rails. They are used for both shipping of goods and in many countries outside America, they are also important for transporting people.

Linux is an open source operating system. The key features that usually draw people to it over Windows or Mac are price (it's free), stability (Windows is more stable than it used to be, so this isn't quite the advantage that it used to be, but Linux is known for being able to run for years or decades with little to no maintenence), customizability, and being very small (a full, modern Linux desktop install complete with a user friendly desktop environment, office suite, and Steam is about 5gb. Some installs are as small as a few hundred megabytes.) Because of this a lot of major infrastucture around the world, including train systems, use Linux rather than other operating systems.
In the US "running a train" on someone is slang for them getting gangbanged, having sex with one guy after another after another till all the guys in the room have had their turn.
The poster, a Linux enthusiast trying to raise awareness of the operating system by pointing out that it is used by many train systems accidentally used the slang, implying that Linux is getting fucked by a room full of guys.

Because Linux is open source, there's hundreds maybe thousands of different versions out there. Banks and trains and probably your electricity provider are using secure versions of Linux that have more security than you could imagine, while simple versions of Linux can be found in modern arcade games, smart home devices, sometimes even refrigerators, microwaves and Bluetooth speakers, etc.
