Geek celebration
The Internet is abuzz with the very exciting news that the Unix operating system will soon turn 1234567890 seconds old (to be exact, that is what the Unix operating system clock will say: it counts seconds from midnight of January 1, 1970, Greenwich Meantime, not counting leap seconds). Here in Mountain Standard time the happy event will take place this Friday February 13 at 16:31:30. Celebrate!
The pictured t-shirt recognizes the fact that the end of Unix Time will occur on January 19, 2038 03:14:07 GMT. One second later, any computers that still represent Unix Time using 32 bits (if there are any by then) will overflow (see Year 2038 problem).
Most computers these days are 64-bit computers, which won't overflow for about 290 billion years.

The Prime Number Shitting Bear
I don't really know what to make of this bear emitting prime numbers from his behind (though I note that I was fascinated enough to consider the matter until he got to 1301). The Internet can be a very odd place.
