My laptop hasn't had stickers since a CTO asked why mine didn't have any stickers like the ones on the laptops of his cool cloud team. Personally I've found laptop stickers bad taste since then.

Yikes, someone should check your harddrives

God, I can't stand living in an artless world.
Stickers themselves can be fun and quirky, but I for the life of me can't figure out why people would put such extremely divisive and workplace-unnecessary messaging on their MAIN WORK DEVICE as many of these have. The kind of lack to integrate to a team having your pride flags, literal death threats to perceived enemies, furries, loli anime, etc on a thing you intend to bring to the workplace to do all your work on…
Thanks for the reminder to put a pride flag on my new work computer. Can't for the life of me figure out why it'd be divisive though. Also, why do you assume these aren't people's personal computers? Many people surely own computers personally, and of course people can express themselves on personal property.
It's funny awkward when you get fired and your laptop is covered in stickers I'll submit mine later today to this comment, I'm a poser lol eg. I don't daily drive Rust but I like the crab and the Gopher Kinkpad lol that's good
This is why I've always wanted some sort of removable skin I can put my stickers on and be able to take them with me when I need to depart with my device
I've typically put dbrand skins on my laptops just to protect them from scuffs, I hand my work ones back with the skin on and no one has ever cared, or perhaps even noticed; I choose subtle ones like the hex or Carbon patterns that look like they could just be the actual lid from the manufacturer.
I don't sticker up my laptops (as much as I've always wanted to), but if it was done on top of one of these vinyl skins, it should be relatively easy to remove (never tried).
One of mine is on quite a few laptops and at least one server: https://shop.kyefox.com/products/were-here-were-queer-connec... I was hoping, though not expecting, to spot it in here.
Okay, that one's quite good. I'm quite tempted, though I assume shipping stickers to Europe is a pain/expensive.
The platform I use uses Printful for stickers. They seem to be big enough that they just print it in the facility closest to the customer.

Are they really that funny though? While I appreciate that it is subjective, they are often only vaguely funny. More often or not a lot of the supposed humour is a thin veneer over some sort of political or quasi-political messaging. You can even see in the screenshots that most of it is either political, product placement or their tech stack.
As a JS developer, I once had a sticker in the npm font, but it said "left-pad". I liked that one. Just a pretty one is fine too though. I had a cool one at some point that was the logo of a small local meetup with friendly organisers, and the logo was essentially a drawing of a local landmark. It fit perfectly over the OEM logo. I miss that one.
I wouldn't even put this in the "somewhat amusing" category. This is really in the 16 pieces of allowed flair category as far as I am concerned.

This is the main reason I've never gotten a tattoo - how I feel about whatever it is will almost certainly change.
But you can also use them as a reminder of how you felt/who you were when you got them. Even someone who get a very trendy tattoo should keep it: "look how I used to follow every trend and how I evolved because I would never do something like that now". Biologically and philosophically, tattoos are scars.

I sold the same amount at a lower price, but then I was looking at one payout minimum ($25) a year.

Political messaging is good and important especially nowadays
When I see overt political messaging outside of someone that works for a particular organisation or political party, I steer clear.
I've found that most people (doesn't matter what political persuasion) have a very poor understanding of what they are actually supporting if they understand it at all. Often they simply parroting what they've elsewhere.
