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.

Same here, although I thought VGA. Dealt with too many parallel cables in the past and that didn't look wide enough.

Oh god, I needed to read this comment to actually understand the joke of the post.

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!
