I never understood this logic:

“I know nothing about this subject, I’m gonna post a meme (a funny graphic usually about a specific topic, this one outlining the differences between languages) but I know nothing about the subject and will ask that nobody correct me or try to apply rationale here because I choose to be ignorant and have no interest in expanding my knowledge of the world and people around me, I just want people to tell me I’m funny and give me internet points”

To each their own ig

...but it's funny (although it would've been funnier if C was "Problem -> Buffer Overflow")

If you have never had a segmentation fault, then you have never programmed in C

Yeah it’s a funny meme, was specifically pointing out the post text though not the meme specifically/directly

We need a SeniorProgrammerHumor community. Less jokes about quitting vim and programming languages and more about every day funny issues.

[–] AnarchoSnowPlow@midwest.social 32 points 8 months ago

We no longer have humor, it's been beaten out of us by code reviews and merge conflicts.

[–] marcos@lemmy.world 10 points 8 months ago (1 children)

People tried that on Reddit. We got a handful of jokes, but nobody had time to laugh of them or post new ones.

We had planned to get some memeing done but we had an all-hands right before sprint review, then sprint retro, then there was an "optional" product sync that we kinda had to go to, and then the team social, and that was basically our whole day.

Thought we might meme a bit at lunch, but there was a lunch-and-learn and it's not like we were going to skip a free lunch.

to get an invide you must have at least 5 years of verifyable lemmy-experience

I believe the idea is to potentially induce a brief nasal snort possibly accompanied by a slight upward curling of the lips in those casually scrolling by. In other words, it's a joke, being posted on a joke community.

A coding humor community, if you gotta post about it, you should probably expect it.

We’re adults, we can joke about stuff and also talk about stuff… unless you’re not which would still be okay because I wouldn’t be interested in discussion then

I never understood this logic

You’re looking for logic in a joke.

Do you question why Donald Trump, the pope and a kid are the only passengers on a plane that’s about to crash?

[–] devfuuu@lemmy.world 8 points 8 months ago

I bet it was an orgy.

[–] stevedidwhat_infosec@infosec.pub 4 points 8 months ago (1 children)

You’re misunderstanding my text.

The joke is funny, telling people not to respond because “it’s just a joke” is cringe.

We can talk about reality and also joke about stuff.

[–] renzev@lemmy.world 1 points 8 months ago (1 children)

When did I ever tell people not to respond? Where am I being ignorant? I told people to not take the post seriously, because it is a joke post on a community about jokes. By all means, have discussion in the comments, silly or serious. I'll gladly listen in and maybe learn something. Just don't try to dissect silly things with serious arguments.

[–] stevedidwhat_infosec@infosec.pub 2 points 8 months ago

It was an over simplification for the sake of dramatic effect in our conversation, not that deep.

I also was under the wrong impression given this new info, thanks for clarifying. I really wasn’t mad or upset or anything like everyone keeps trying to gaslight me into thinking. Was just pointing out an observation I had…

Why is everyone wound so tight here in a joke community?

if you don't understand memes, you're in the wrong place

Says the person posting the lemmy equivalent of the facebook copypasta after their comments.

[–] MonkderZweite@feddit.ch 2 points 8 months ago

This is not Reddit tho.

[–] fleckenstein@social.lizzy.rs 3 points 8 months ago (2 children)

@stevedidwhat_infosec @renzev I agree in principle but this meme is unironically accurate?

[–] marcos@lemmy.world 5 points 8 months ago (1 children)

To the point that I'm doubting the OP's non-knowledge.

He must know at least a lot of C++... But I disagree with the PHP one; it always transforms the problem, never leaves it alone. And transforms it very productively.

[–] stevedidwhat_infosec@infosec.pub 1 points 8 months ago

Again, I’m referring to OPs message. Not the meme itself, which was funny.

Hello angry underpaid programmer

[–] stevedidwhat_infosec@infosec.pub -1 points 8 months ago* (last edited 8 months ago)

Ew.

Also, terrible attempt at a strawman, you didn’t even try lol. Unsurprising response tho from king shallow over here

[–] underwire212@lemm.ee 0 points 8 months ago (1 children)

Geez relax lol. Just downvote it and move on.

[–] stevedidwhat_infosec@infosec.pub 7 points 8 months ago (1 children)

Why does everyone always assume you have to be fuming to bring up something goofy you saw lmao

Y’all are the ones who need to chill apparently

[–] TrickDacy@lemmy.world 3 points 8 months ago

Because they themselves are fuming
