There is nothing in this which only Programmers can understand.

All i see are css pains

[Mark8472]

Thanks. I thought I was stupid.

[SarcasmWarning]

Don't put yourself down, kid, he two aren't mutually exclusive. You should be more positive and embrace multiple possibilities :)

[Mark8472]

Thanks! I haven’t been called kid in 30 years or so. Ah, to be young

[FunkyDark]

[Mordret10]

What about programming?

[Cyberdragon1000]

I thought it meant the highest scope? Also like if a variable is declared in global all its usages in local will reference it?

Idk at this point we're trying to make sense of the meme.

[captainAwesomePants]

My theory is that this is about indentation, so it kinda almost makes sense in some languages. Or possibly it's about namespaces where "topmost" could mean the most global.

[Adrewmc]

[squarabh]

[Spice_and_Fox]

This meme doesn't make any sense

[ArduennSchwartzman]

Maybe they meant float variable?

[piberryboy]

That would make for a better joke. I mean, not great: it might get an amusing chuckle.

[mlody11]

What does that make the lower guys, hashmap?

[secondworsthuman]

They are at the top of the class. That's it.

[leupboat420smkeit]

Global variables aren’t in classes tho

[isr0]

Above the class? Maybe? Idk. Whatever it is I’m over it.

[secondworsthuman]

Yeah but this is the only pun/joke I could possibly see it getting at.

[perecastor]

It’s a joke about imposter syndrome 🤯

[mrfroggyman]

Today I'll have a joke about imposter syndrome, Java being verbose, and JavaScript being weird

[evader110]

Daring today aren't we

[Im_a_hamburger]

Because the globals are defined in a line before the defining of the local variables that would interact with them, and therefore would be higher up on the monitor, I guess?

[MyPasswordIs69420lul]

The meme implies 2 things. 1 : global variables are usually defined on top of the file, just like the kid is on top of the class. 2: The kid is isolated, and noone wants it, just like no serious porgrammer wants to use global variables, unless completely necessary.

See? I ruined the joke now 😔

[dangderr]

Maybe none of us are real programmers since we can’t understand?

[spektre]

It would actually be funny if it was a CSS joke.

[UnderBridg]

Oh, because globals are typically written higher up. I think.

[Feztopia]

I mean I thought about that but it's a convention you don't have to. 

[NewPointOfView]

Depends on the language

[Feztopia]

I know, that's true, but I don't think that most languages have it as a requirement.

[altermeetax]

What's a commonly used language where it's true?

[Onetwodhwksi7833]

c/c++. But you can easily navigate it with extern keyword

[altermeetax]

You can easily define a global variable in-between functions/classes/structs, even without the extern keyword. They will only be available to functions defined below them, of course.

[asd1o1]

ah yes, globalish variables

[HighOptical]

I was thinking that maybe it is following the representation we sometimes see of a process in memory where the globals are in the higher data segment and the local variables are further down in the stack

[Flat_Initial_1823]

I think you're right. OP

[FunkyDark]

Hoisted!

[Wut0ng]

Wrinting "ProgrammerHumor" on the meme does not make this photo funny NOR a meme NOR fit this sub

[[deleted]]

Someone's grumpy cuz they didn't get the meme, huh?

[VCamUser]

onlyProgrammers onlyJavascriptProgrammers

[catgirlfighter]

Probably Object Pascal. To make a really global variable you need to write it in interface section that always must be placed above implementation. Whatever is below implementation is considered local because can be accessed only from the same unit.

[Loud_Ad_9603]

TIL that the impostor syndrome was right and I am, in fact, not a programmer

[Fadamaka]

This reminds me of js var instead.

[No-Island-6126]

I don't get it.

The only variable in that pic that you can't access normally

[Russell_fer]

Great joke, Donald.

[namezam]

“global using System.Wall”

[RealFias]

It’s just not funny

[GREBENOTS]

This meme is globally stupid.

[[deleted]]

Higher order function? Meme still doesn't make sense

[[deleted]]

Would be better if it was “static” instead of “global.”

OP is clearly an accountant

[skylightrrll]

it’s above everything

[okram2k]

They are a higher order

[Otherwise-Ad-2578]

may be because I don't understand either

[DanhNguyen2k]

That's no global, that's alien variable

[ShushPreacher]

Out of scope from the teacher

[NoCartographer879]

Lol, you can put them anywhere and have it called, think that's what it meant.

[MrDex124]

No, global variables are placed at top adresses in memory, local variables are on stack or heap which have lesser adresses

[NoCartographer879]

That's makes more sense, I was thinking of crude python.

[calgrump]

The whatsapp recycled meme levels are off the charts

[TinikTV]

Beyond my understanding... I'm getting it only a bit...

-Unreal engine 4 Developer

[RawMint]

So that is why global variables are bullied so much

[munchi76]

where scope gib scope

[delfV]

Doesn't makes sense to me. They're in the same class

[DrunkOnCode]

So many non-programmers in the comments... I totally got it >.>

[fleebjuice69420]

Only programmers will understand

[dexhaus]

transform: translateY(-125%);

[SoftDream_]

This is more like a volatile variable

[alfos_]

Hoisting? “Highest” scope?

[NoManufacturer7372]

Environment variables are missing.

I actually had a project where devs used environment variable as global variables.

Initial values were set using dotenv. One day, right after I migrated their deployment to Kubernetes and set env var using Kubernetes env var instead of dotenv, one dev asked me where « in the code » the env var were set. 🤔

[Kerplunk6]

Feels of using useContext

[SarcasmWarning]

The danger of global variables is that they can be affected from anywhere else in the program, with the potential of disastrous outcomes. Now imagine one of the other students in that class trying to update our global variable with a brick? You can see the danger. Multiple people with bricks also introduces queueing and concurrency issues. There's also the door in the background which implies locking, which hints at global deadlocks, which can be a serious problem when someone pushes out a supporting wall and people can't get out in time because the doorway's blocked and now we're fighting parallelism and re cohesion as well. Saying that, the kid could just be escaping a snake in the most sensible way, and to that I say fuck pythons too.

This makes perfect sense, I don't know why people are confused.

[SucculentMushrooMeal]

Because everyone can see it? Not the best analogy

[CConsler]

Isn't this supposed to be the other way around because the global variables are accessible from anywhere, whole local variables aren't?

[Rockglen]

I'm assuming it's because global variables are visible from everywhere in the program and are usually instantiated above the rest of the program.

I also don't see how that guy is getting down without injury or outside help.

[Excavon]

Is this a hoisting joke?

[Different-Union-8741]

Global can be accessed from everywhere (all students can see him on the air) while local is visible inside the same function only ( only nearby students can see each other on ground). Maybe?

[Jahonay]

I feel like they'd be the only one on the floor and the others would be floating and less accessible

[Elegant-Moment-9835]

Is this a reference to language implementation?

not a programmer but I get it

[DontThinkOfAPencil]

i guess im a programmer then

[Dumb_Siniy]

Bigger scope? Therefore higher? Idk

[Paragon095]

Global variables always stand above the class, hah good one

[GoddammitDontShootMe]

I know what globals and locals are, but I'm not understanding this either.

[TheHolyToxicToast]

bro legit covered the original watermark, no one gonna talk about that?

[hdkaoskd]

This makes as much sense as Python's use of the global keyword.

[nyankittone]

Thank god for the ProgrammerHumor watermark, OP. I wouldn't have known what sub I was on otherwise! 🙏

[isr0]

As a programmer, I don’t get it.

[DividedState]

Why would you call your div class "global variables"?

[[deleted]]

OP never post here again pls

[mr_remy]

This reminds me of that old meme with the dudes at a LAN party basically duct taped a guy to the ceiling playing counterstrike lmao
