    No, it’s just a pretty lame joke that got repeated like five million times.

    Unfortunately our community breeds an extremely self-referential, repetitive humour that can get quite annoying. Like that one guy pissing his pants laughing because 42 hahahaha.

      That guys response is still only half as annoying as seeing continual bot spam, especially from useless pretentious ones that provide no value like this one

      A lot of these jokes are literally older than some of the people in my computer science program

      Honestly it’s pretty rare for this sub to have genuinely good jokes

      Most are just really forced jokes based around CS101 concepts shared by college students, most of the rest are the same few jokes told over and over like you said, and only a tiny proportion are genuinely clever programming jokes

        While true, this is not limited to this sub/community, it’s a problem of the entire IT/tech/nerd bubble. Referencing something that is considered funny, is in itself funny, so the more I reference the funnier I am. It’s basically meme culture on steroids - or “turned to 11”, if I may drop a sick reference as well.
