I tried to search hamburger code on the web. It gave me Roblox and a bunch of CSS hamburger menus.

Sorry to ask, but what are these hamburgers you speak of?

Interesting. I haven't ever seen a Linux fork change the actual name before. Doing so while maintaining BC is quite a challenge.

I'd imagine me on a computer in the future:
