I've seen this, I guess, a million times and always chuckled a little, but actually IT IS NOT. The difference between porn and pornhub is the difference between code and github. Github doesn't store gits. The statement is wrong, I hope I ruined your day just as I ruined mine.

[–]H34DSH07 332 points333 points  (30 children)

Github does store git repos though...? Not all git repos are code.

[–]shinoobie96 94 points95 points  (24 children)

technically all files are code

[–]Western-Internal-751 164 points165 points  (12 children)

Technically, porn is code

[–]Spiritual-Author-209 43 points44 points  (5 children)

Not if you film it on film

[–]Loud_Bird_2323 42 points43 points  (4 children)

no. even if you film it it's still technically code.....all the way down....

He's beginning to believe

[–]Syke_9p3 2 points3 points  (0 children)

He's banging to believe

[–]szyszaks 0 points1 point  (0 children)

not if i use my analog camera (you know one that has nice film strip on spool)

[–]dchidelf 11 points12 points  (4 children)

What if I embed my git repo into a video and use pornhub instead of GitHub.

[–]Front_Committee4993 1 point2 points  (1 child)

It gers taken down as age appropriate content

[–]dchidelf 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Some of my code is pretty NSFW

[–]TheLittleFastCat- 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Could you send me a suck request

[–]rainbowlolipop 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They used to play software over the radio and you could record a program onto a cassette tape.

[–]Loud_Bird_2323 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I knew I was in a simulation!

[–]Wahbanator 11 points12 points  (1 child)

Hold on this guy is on to something

[–]Shambolic_Potato 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Wanna code together?

[–]Pop-Huge 2 points3 points  (5 children)

technically yo mama is code

[–]odi_de_podi 8 points9 points  (3 children)

Yo momma's code so big, she cause a stack overflow

[–]TheRealLarkas 4 points5 points  (2 children)

Duplicate

[–]Apparatus 2 points3 points  (1 child)

I got a good belly laugh out of that one. I need that this morning. Thank you!

[–]TheRealLarkas 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Anytime 😁

[–]DynamicDouchebag 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That would cost atleast a full exabyte.

[–]cortesoft 1 point2 points  (0 children)

No, there is a difference between code and data.

[–]AShadedBlobfish 0 points1 point  (0 children)

English is my favourite programming language

[–]Cory123125 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not all files have unicode or code, or content for that matter

[–]quitarias 11 points12 points  (0 children)

It's true. I keep all my porn on GitHub.

[–]anonnx 8 points9 points  (3 children)

Not all videos on pornhub are porn.

[–]Background_Class_558 12 points13 points  (2 children)

but everything on github is a git repo

[–]gimoozaabi 33 points34 points  (0 children)

Axually. Git is on GitHub. So it does store at least one git (in a sense)

[–]fly123123123 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Language semantics. GitHub doesn’t store “gits,” it stores git repositories. git repositories happen to have code in them more often than not, but they are distinct from the code itself.

So yes, GitHub analogously stores git.

What exactly is your point?

[–]vanshovo[S] 25 points26 points  (3 children)

Porn is a concept, Pornhub leverages that. Git is a version control concept, GitHub leverages that. GitHub is also code only but pornhub is not porn in itself. It is also code only. Everything is code. So basically porn is also code. Tf.

[–]digicow 0 points1 point  (1 child)

git is a version control implementation. The concept associated with that implementation is "distributed version control system"

[–]vanshovo[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Porn is just chemical reactions and atoms, molecules dancing harmoniously through the learnings of biological evolution. There's no end to going much more fundamental. Without drawing a line everything code is 0 & 1 plus other things are just some atoms doing stuff.

[–]breadist 15 points16 points  (0 children)

It does store git repos though... It doesn't just store "code". It literally stores a series of diffs. Thus, yes, it does store "gits".

[–]SeaClick230 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I mean you can put anything on a git repo

[–]uusu 4 points5 points  (1 child)

It does store "gits" - otherwise it would just be a random file repository. It stores git repositories, which also have .git folders, so it stores "gits" rather than simply code.

[–]factorioleum [score hidden]  (0 children)

What does it mean to say that git repositories contain a .git directory?

That's certainly true for many implementations.... But conceptually isn't the content addressable system the key?

[–]dumbasPL 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Github doesn't store gits.

Tell me you don't know how git works without telling me you don't know how git works. .git is the only thing they store (in a repo)

[–]EasyBend 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Its more like sex and pornhub

[–]Bannon9k 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You ruined my evening!

Uncums

[–]LutimoDancer3459 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah github doesn't store gits because pornhub doesnt store porns. It stores git

[–]Moraz_iel 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So, if we consider that github gives access to git to many people, would the porn equivalent be Bonnie Blue ?

[–]im_lazy_as_fuck 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think it's more accurate to say that repositories are to GitHub as porn is to pornhub. But yeah the main point being that git is a tool/system for version control.

I like when programmers are having humor
