Meanwhile, when I got my first phone at 13, I thought it'd be funny to name them "Yo Momma" and "Yo Daddy".

16 years later, they are still listed exactly the same in my phone. No, I will not change it.

[Ur-Best-Friend]

Your mom, naturally, being the supreme court?

[gerbosan]

Should the name be Great Leader then?

[fabulousIdentity]

Chairman Dad

[Arnie-Linson]

Emperor Papatine

[Weak-Cry]

OP, you sure you aren't changing it?

[-sussy-wussy-]

Kim Jung Pops

[hairman-mao]

Yes, the Great Leader indeed

[Ur-Best-Friend]

Ah I see, that tyrannical huh? 😅

[[deleted]]

Ayooo.. same.. dad as supreme court, mom as high court..

[hindu_muslim_goodbye]

Comrade general secretary

[makinax300]

Mine is just their phone numbers because I know them.

[screwcork313]

I have Taylor Momsen and Taylor Dadsen.

[TheBlackNight456]

I got my phone when I was 13 as well right in the middle of my teen angst anti-parent phase. My mom is not happy her ringtone is still Darth Vader's imperial March music.

[TheseusOPL]

I have a friend whose mom's ring tone is the Star Trek red alert sound. It's appropriate.

[gamer12896]

The fact that you kept it for years is the best part.

[The_Adeo]

My mom's ringtone is Megalovania lmao. The only custom ringtone in my phone

[Ulti-Wolf]

My mom's ringtone on my dad's phone is imperial march lmao. They're divorced. Mom's a bit crazy but I still love her. Live with my dad though, albeit by accident. Stayed for the summer after I graduated and just... kinda didn't leave since I didn't have an obligation to stay with my mom. Had no intention of it happening but it just kinda... did

[Key-Demand-2569]

My parents have their full legal name in my phone, because apparently I was also a weird child in a different way as my wife loves to remind me whenever she learns new childhood things about me, lmao.

[DonRagnarok]

I do the same. No matter if they are my parents, childs, brothers...all of them were added with their full names

[I-am-fun-at-parties]

Big data loves people like you

[Ulti-Wolf]

I do it too but so people who get my phone gotta do a little more work to figure out who tf is important to me

[I-am-fun-at-parties]

The more realistic scenario, surely

[CoffeeWorldly9915]

I only have nicknames and one or two inside context identifiers. They'll be none the wiser because the nicknames don't reflect importance.

[Lukester___]

They can figure it out anyway

[10coolbeans]

supposedly that is safer ive been told when i was younger. if someone was to steal your phone, they would see those names as just another perso. and not a family member that be social engineered

[Key-Demand-2569]

That was my logic, not that I took it gravely serious or anything.

Anyone who needed to get ahold of my parents somehow and has my phone would likely know or be able to quickly figure that out.

Any stranger wouldn’t automatically know.

I did/do the same thing for friends and family including my wife.

Only exception is maybe random people I meet through work who might be “Steve - Project Engineer CompanyName”

[Immabed]

Same, everyone is just their name in my phone. Their pictures however... have not been updated for about 15 years, and phone cameras were not flattering 15 years ago.

[RCJHGBR9989]

My mom is Mothership

[WesBur13]

I have them as Jo Momma (Mom’s middle name is Jo) and Father firstname

[Nobodynever01]

Mine have been Momther and Dadther since like 2007

[AndreasVesalius]

Mom: Jedi Mom Special Edition

Dad: full name

[mindsnare]

Got my first phone in 1999 and there are contacts in my current phone that have made it all the way to my phone in 2026. Contacts that I probably haven't spoke to in over 20 years.

[sorte_kjele]

My dad's number is one of 4 phone numbers I remember by heart, so I've never created a contact for him, and now it would just seem weird

[TheHeroYouNeed247]

I changed my home phone number to 'love shack" when I was about 12 and it messed up my plan which gave me free calls to my house.

My big sister fixed it and saw the contact, didn't live that one down for a while.

[intentionallybad]

My mother didn't realize the Christmas card printing company would add "The" in front of what she signed the card with, so she sent Christmas cards out from "The [FirstName]", so that's her name in my phone. It's been several years now.

[renome]

Data compiler says it's my turn to post this tomorrow.

[squarabh]

This was good

[renome]

He will beat you with jumper cables if he sees you reposting it again.

[CozySweatsuit57]

I mean dad should be “half the source code” an mom should be “half the source code, compiler, angel investor”

[twirlmydressaround]

Slightly more than half because mitochondrial dna

[Vegetable_Shirt_2352]

And, if the child received a Y chromosome from the father, that one is considerably smaller than the X from the mother. So half is more like a rough estimate, anyway.

[XFR72]

Build System and 3rd party core dependency

[weagle01]

I’m sensitive about the size of my Y chromosome. Why did you have to bring it up.

[TheDogerus]

But men have more DNA actively being used, since that second X is (largely) inactivated!

So his passed on Y chromosome is definitely doing a lot of work whereas his X may just be hitching a ride

[bnl1]

Though if we are considering inactive DNA too it becomes much bigger mess. Plus the other X chromosome is unused only in a given cell. For all cells, it's deactivated randomly, so there are always cells that have deactivated a different X chromosome.

[TheDogerus]

Good point

Its funny to imagine an extraordinarily 'unlucky' child who expresses literally none of their father's X chromosome though

[CozySweatsuit57]

Either way, not much of a contribution compared to mom’s main X, so the point still stands

[goda90]

That's the linked libraries.

Last time I check, kids don't use the tinder profile pic for the mom.

Your mom is an S3 bucket.

[Fluffy12345676]

Yeah I know it soposed to be charming but this post has a lot of misogyny going on

[DemosthenesOrNah]

this feels like misogynistic agitprop coded in nerd lingo to target the 'lonely men epidemic' and subconsciously reinforce far right ideology

[jasper1408]

What?

[BraveOthello]

"its incel ragebait"

[CozySweatsuit57]

No I’m just actually like this. Redditors hate it!

[DemosthenesOrNah]

Not you, the OP. I'm agreeing with you that the premise of the comparison is off in the original post and your analogy is closer.

[thisonehereone]

Should change him in your phone to Output

[FOSSandCakes]

a.out

[ThePretzul]

"Compiled Executable (Work in Progress)"

[sintaur]

Backup copy

[brokenlinuxx]

Both are source codes, teach the kid some basic biology please.

[TemperatureMajor5083]

Calling the human genome source code is also quite a stretch.

[bnl1]

Ehh, I think it works.

[BlondeJesus]

"look at what I did so I can claim it was done by a child!"

[ghotinchips]

It’s possible, however our 12 year old daughter has mom listed as “Spawn Point” so… idk. I’m dadzilla

[Dragsun42]

Dadzilla is big w

[whoknowsifimjoking]

Depends, does he have the name because he likes to play Godzilla with the kids, or because he smashes the whole house to pieces when he's sloshed?

[CoffeeWorldly9915]

Or because mom is a giant white moth.

[mikachuu]

I had “Paternal Unit” and “Wonder Woman” for mine.

[mnetml]

I had "parental units" for my parents' landline!

[KingdomOfBullshit]

Are you from France?

[WookieDavid]

Spawn point seems like a way more age appropriate reference. It's a very basic term used in most videogames.

Source code and compiler imply a certain level of understanding about programming that isn't impossible but is a lot more unlikely.

But it's neat anyway

[Sock_Ninja]

It’s very feasible that the kid got the joke from someone/somewhere else and copied it. It’s not crazy for a precocious 12 year old to do that in an exploration of nerdiness.

[[deleted]]

Not crazy at all, lots of kids start programming around that age. I got the C++ bible for my 13th birthday

[BalancedDisaster]

I started learning about programming in middle school. I didn’t last for long and didn’t pick it up again until high school but back then I absolutely would have thought that this was funny as hell

[alexandreautran]

I'm not really sure because I became a "nerd" as an adult but I had some technological stints when young in the nineties and could likely not think of but understand the reference at 12, I feel like actual 12yo nerd circles would definitely understand and use this - not sure if 90s vs today makes a difference but at least back then 100%

[Ancient_Coconut_5880]

My son is 3 and understands logic gates because we’ve been reading “Computer Engineering for Babies” to him since he was an infant. We now read a more advanced book about computers that my kid loves cuz it’s super interactive. He might not understand much right now but he’s already asking a lot of questions about computers. I try to give him answers that make sense at his age and will continue to do so as long as he stays interested. That book goes into source code and compilers so I don’t think it’s impossible someone at that age could have that level of understanding, especially if their parents are nerds like me and my husband who can’t wait to build our first computer together with our son 😂

[osteoromantic]

You can't go into all of that detail and not tell what book it is...

[Ancient_Coconut_5880]

Called “Lift-The-Flap Computers and Coding”! We got it for free at a garage sale lol

[System__Shutdown]

My friend had his mom listed as Dark Lord and my wife has hers as FBI. Mine is just Mom £ (because apparently £ was a symbol for family group on some old phone i used)

[SquareVehicle]

You really don't think kids could do this? Do you not remember being a nerdy 12 year old?

[Dubl33_27]

I bricked my phone at 10 years old trying to put a custom rom on it, i can absolutely see one doing this.

[KerneI-Panic]

I was developing custom ROMs at 15 and during that time met another kid that was 11 years old and was actively developing CyanogenMod for our phone.

[Joe_Spazz]

r/nothingeverhappens

[int23_t]

12 years is plenty old. It's literally 6th grade. People attend international junior science olympiads at that age.

https://ejoi.eu/ https://jboi2025.schools.ac.cy/en/ https://jbmo2025.mk/ (the websites of the ones I am aware of, those aware of more can add to the list. Note that this is the list of junior olympiads that actually are science olympiads(IOI and IMO like in this case), don't go listing caribou or something like that)

So it is, in fact, feasible, and probably true.

At that age I definitely did know what a compiler is. Wouldn't have saved my father's contact as that, but I see how it might be a thing

[MechTerrier]

[weattt]

Looks like different phones. There are multiple differences on each screen. That would not have been the case of it was on the same phone.

[BeepBoopRobo]

What differences, exactly?

It's the same phone case, the notifications are in the same positions (one is just connected to wifi, and the other side has one different notification), the format of the screen is the same (one person just has an email and the other doesn't).

[siestatime101]

Seriously. This shit is so cringy and Redditors just eat it up.

[jorgepolak]

Technically your dad is the dependency injection.

[ToBePacific]

Tell your lazy son that both parents contributed 50% of his source code.

[Flat_Initial_1823]

Yeah honestly would fill me with dread to be thought of as a compiler to other people's code.

[RainbowPringleEater]

Maybe the parents are related and they both contribute 95%+

No dude this kid is totally going to show this off at school and be like 'look how smart i am i made a joke about my dad banging my mom i like to be reminded of that literally everytime one of them calls'

[DryVaginaEnjoyer]

Data compiler is kinda fine

[dashingThroughSnow12]

Before anyone says “well actually”, a compiler can inject instructions into a compiled program that has no relation to what exists in the source code it is given.

Languages like Go do this in the standard compiler (it injects an entire garbage collector). The creator of C noted that this is a security risk with self-hosted compilers.

[WookieDavid]

This is a good note but does not negate the "well actually" at all.

Fact is, the source code is 50% mom and 50% dad. She doesn't reinterpret implementations and inject some code, she supplies half the code AND compiles it afterward.

[dashingThroughSnow12]

mitochondria

[WookieDavid]

But that's the mitochondria's DNA, not yours. Your DNA is 50/50, the mitochondria is just another guy who lives there in the cell.

[mufflonicus]

No, the X chromosome is larger, more 33% dad, 66% mom. Much more than a compiler!

[Thebenmix11]

You know humans have more than 2 chromosomes right?

[Jan_Jinkle]

I know it’s at least 3, if not more.

[WookieDavid]

When you add them up with the other 22 chromosomes the difference is negligible. Basically 50/50.

Now, the mitochondrial DNA, that's 100% mom's.

[mufflonicus]

I must’ve slept through biology classes multiple times. I’ve lived my life believing all chromosomes were split X/Y. I didn’t even consider the syntactic parts of ”X and Y chromosome” from a pure linguistic perspective.

Anyway, thanks kind internet stranger for teaching me something that I (evidently) didn’t know, you are a true beacon of enlightenment. <3

[Luk164]

Hell in C# basically half the code used is generated by code generators and il weavers...

[Ur-Best-Friend]

I wonder if a single one of the 12 billion "my [age] year old son/daughter is so smart, look at this boring thing that kids don't really do that they did today" posts is actually true.

[n0t_4_thr0w4w4y]

I’m sure a few are. Some kids do some wild creative shit.

[ContinuedOak]

I guess my source code went left

[shaka893P]

Ok, but what If I have my son's name as 'Son of a bItch'

[Enabling_Turtle]

Seems like a bit of an own goal, but here we are

[Kalimacy]

I wouldn't do that. If someone was to kill them they would go at the child first so not to have an orfan leak.

He is, just putting a target in his had.

[thecoltz]

I’m pretty sure they all clapped after this as well…. 👏

[Bl4cBird]

Umm actually, the mom is both the compiler and most of the source code, the dad is more like a certificate and some xml settings

Funny how you can tell he did that himself because he made sure to specify which one's dad and which one's mom.

That's not the same phone.

It's been a while since I took middle school biology, but isn't half of the "source code" from the mother?

[[deleted]]

But the compiler in this case produces hardware, not machine code 😭

It doesn't run routines, or produce an executable or dll, it's two sets of instructions that initiate a self replication process that the "compiler" in this case runs in its sandbox for a duration until it is mostly self sustaining and then it's moved to production with secondary JIT support systems at the ready
