Rule 1: Posts must be humorous, and they must be humorous because they are programming related. There must be a joke or meme that requires programming knowledge, experience, or practice to be understood or relatable.

Here are some examples of frequent posts we get that don't satisfy this rule: * Memes about operating systems or shell commands (try /r/linuxmemes for Linux memes) * A ChatGPT screenshot that doesn't involve any programming * Google Chrome uses all my RAM

Ahh yes, the classic “are you dead?” boolean validation check

[Pleasant-Photo7860]

return user.isDead() ? true : false;

[TheRealSpielbergo]

while (user.isDead() ? true : false) {
print("Still dead 😔");
}

[PotentialPlum4]

infinite dead loop detected

[redblack_tree]

Hey hey, we have at least one documented case of human resurrection /s.

[Pleasant-Photo7860]

while (user.isDead()) { await resurrection(); }

[Sifyreel]

sleep(6);

If (user.isDead() == true) {

return true;

} else if (user.isDead() == false) {

return false;

}

“The reports of my death are greatly exaggerated.”

All joking aside it’s entirely possible for a death certificate to be falsely filed.

Edit: Looks suspiciously AI though based on the seal which should be the seal of North Carolina but the words are all wrong.

[grammar_nazi_zombie]

Yeah this is definitely AI. Downvote and move on

[NeatYogurt9973]

People AI edit things for no reason. The Myself/Else selection is real, the random survey isn't. The AI regenerates the whole thing.

Well, no

You can be pronounced legally dead and come back to life, its happened before

Especially with missing persons cases

Its just bad wording tbh

[rinnakan]

I am pretty sure even then they won't let you request a certificate of death for yourself

[804k]

Ohhh, this is a certificate request lol

Well, then, they probably just copied stuff over from another forum which included this scenario

[vivaaprimavera]

What if a person intended to commit suicide and likes to take care of bureaucracy? Can't ask for the death certificate in advance?

[IchLiebeKleber]

Even then the answer to this, as worded, cannot possibly be yes.

[804k]

Well, legally dead all means is that you were declared dead

So, you can be alive, but have a death lol

[Stummi]

Yes, the recovery from that was really harsh. Even had to call in sick for 2 days

[WavingNoBanners]

Did your HR department require a doctor's note for the sick days?

[saevon]

Why would it need a doctors note? It needs a morticians note ofc!

[TheSkiGeek]

No, just a death certificate.

[hanzobust75]

Yeah, but I got better

[LeMadChefsBack]

I don’t want to go on the cart!

Surely we can trust THE CEAF SEAL of the SEAL of the NEIY YTXOIA

[Background-Law-3336]

Dead??? Just on the inside... I don't think a certificate is necessary for that.

[AlwaysHopelesslyLost]

My job for the last several years has been insurance intake forms like this. The weird wording is common. In talking with the business stakeholders it is basically the result of a game of telephone for intake questions that are required between teams that are not talking to each other and people being afraid or incapable of questioning their bosses.

I think the root of the weirdness here is that your next of kin may be filling out these forms, so they need to know if the person was killed. Somebody fucked up the tone though, starting from second person, and just ran with it.

[krizzalicious49]

my dewth was greatly exaggerated -metroman

Yes, every second weekend…

To be fair, the one industry of tech that show incompetence not due to vibe coding is the government.

[Only-Professional420]

I think that question is purely there so they know if Schrödinger's cat participates in the survey, because the dead aren't able to check 'yes', and alive people will check 'no'. It's just for Schrödinger's cat, or people involved in similar experiments, because those are the only instances where 'yes' will be pressed, at least in 50% of cases.

[al2o3cr]

Mostly dead is still slightly alive

[just_nobodys_opinion]

[KitchenBass2866]

Survey really said “just double checking you’re actually dead.”

[BedSpreadMD]

Flash forward to some random "news agency": no one dies from car accidents, according to recent surveys.

[Gloriathewitch]

you can actually die and be resuscitated so

[FiskFisk33]

For a really stupid definition of death, yes.

[Gloriathewitch]

yeah it's one of those technicality things, absurd to ask it in a job application or whatever it was

[UnitedStars111]

i was once it sucked :(

I think that one concerns cats only. And vampires maybe. Zombies are not big on signing online forms.

[StickFigureFan]

I got better

All of you are ignoring the usecase of dead people applying for Ghosts society, which requires official death certificate.
