Today, I lost my laptop, but I have my old childhood computer to use. It's password-protected, and the hint to the password is "meaner than Hera." I haven't been into Greek mythology since I was a kid, and if anything, this computer has just shown me how dumb I've gotten over the years. FML

So I never figured it out (although I'm pretty sure it wasn't the God of Farts) but the computer was really old anyway, so I'm just gonna borrow my mom's / use the one allotted to me at work until I can afford a new one. Thanks for the suggestions!

You haven't gotten dumber, your interests changed. When I was a kid I could name scores of dinosaurs off the top of my head. Today I can barely manage a dozen.

Your child self wasn't as smart as you're giving credit. Password hints should be clear, "meaner than Hera" isn't really. All of the goddesses in Greek mythology were really spiteful. Depending on what story you read, you might think one is better than another. Hera might've sent snakes into hercules' crib by Athena turned a woman into a spider just because she lost in a competition (in other versions, she didn't lose but honestly turning anyone into a spider is just bad sportsmanship). Aphrodite was vain and caused lots of trouble. I think the only goddess that wasn't so mean was Hestia or maybe Persephone. Atleast Hera had good reason, Zeus was an awful husband.

I hate to break it to you but Hera wasn't a perfect wife either.

#94, yeah, but if they were into Greek mythology they could easily have been into Roman mythology too. Juno is the Roman version of Hera, and generally considered a meaner version of the same deity, so Juno is a valid possibility.

The FML should have just ended with "I lost my laptop".

Well, if it's PC, it'd be like Windows 98 or older, no? The lock screen is the least of your worries compared to the slow speeds.

how would that follow? Xp didn't use passwords? 2000 didn't? slow speeds better than no speed!
