      Maybe something I don’t know, but I send kill commands through btop all the time on a systemd based machine.

        The point here is that SystemD’s natural behavior is to send SIGTERM then wait an eternity.

        Those “service XY is shutting down (5sec/2min)” messages you sometimes get on shutdown are coming from SystemD not waiting for 3 seconds like the meme suggests, but waiting for minutes before giving up and switching over to SIGKILL instead.
