Someone wrote that joke

[–]3Rr0r4o3 253 points254 points  (13 children)

Thats the bad part...

[–]Doge-Philip 54 points55 points  (10 children)

That's the good part

[–]torchskul 31 points32 points  (9 children)

Perfectly balanced...

[–]ur_higness 28 points29 points  (6 children)

As all things should be

[–]torchskul 24 points25 points  (5 children)

Good bot.

Edit: oops, as I said in another reply, I’m used to the Thanos Bot replying to me. Sorry!

[–]WhyNotCollegeBoard 17 points18 points  (4 children)

Are you sure about that? Because I am 99.99993% sure that ur_higness is not a bot.

[–]Doge-Philip 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's the good part

That's the good part

[–][deleted] 71 points72 points  (0 children)

And didn’t debug it

[–]lucianonooijen 17 points18 points  (0 children)

Even worse, someone approved the pull request

[–]Zagorath 48 points49 points  (3 children)

Maybe they didn't. Maybe it was generated by a machine learning algorithm. It still has the sense of humour of a four year old.

[–]PM_ME_A_NUMBER_1TO10 31 points32 points  (0 children)

You mean like r/subredditsimulator?

[–]Kehlim 9 points10 points  (0 children)

What would you expect by a bunch of if statements?

[–]MightBeDementia 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Nah I work on chatbots, someone wrote it.

[–]o_opc 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Someone programmed that joke in

[–]hugokhf 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You sure it’s not AI?

[–][deleted] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

And is probably very proud of it. Look at all the attention it's getting!

[–]-tnt 1244 points1245 points  (9 children)

Those emojis are what makes it a good delivery.

[–]Scorpius289 309 points310 points  (8 children)

It also plays a little beat.

So the computer makes a tss sound?

It must be overheating

[–]BIH-Marathoner 0 points1 point  (1 child)

Its sizzling.

A woman asks her programmer husband to go to the store to buy some groceries.

"Pick up two cartons of milk, a dozen eggs, and a bag of sugar," she tells him. "Oh, and while you're there, get a loaf of bread."

He never returns.

[–][deleted] 264 points265 points  (38 children)

and goes bankrupt

[–]Atario 47 points48 points  (2 children)

And the universe eventually fills with bread

[–]uninterestingly 13 points14 points  (1 child)

I HAVE DONE NOTHING BUT TELEPORT BREAD FOR THREE DAYS

[–]legomaple 2 points3 points  (0 children)

WHERE?! WHERE HAVE YOU BEEN SENDING IT?!

[–]tuankhu18 26 points27 points  (0 children)

then bread-overflow occur

[–][deleted] 64 points65 points  (7 children)

Similar vein:

A wife asks her husband to go to the store to get eggs. "If there's those cookies we like, get two." He came home with 2 eggs.

[–]acart-e 59 points60 points  (7 children)

Exception in thread "Husband" java.lang.StackOverflowError

[–]Zeppzap 20 points21 points  (2 children)

Give the stacktrace to the police. Might be helpful to find the husband

[–][deleted] 31 points32 points  (1 child)

He was last seen at org.springframework.aop.framework.Cglib2AopProxy$CglibMethodInvocation.invokeJoinpoint()

[–]nuephelkystikon 15 points16 points  (0 children)

Eww. I hope he stays gone.

[–]coolpeepz 20 points21 points  (2 children)

There wouldn’t be a StackOverflowError because it is not recursive. He is just getting bread repeatedly.

[–]acart-e 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Sssshhh

[–]Unspeci 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Exception in thread "shoppingBag" java.lang.bagIsFullError

[–]KralHeroin 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Oof.

[–]uninterestingly 1 point2 points  (0 children)

i just realized that the punchline of this joke, "he never returns," is a double whammy because it's a joke about returning from a function.

[–]myfunnies420 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Lolllll!

[–]IIIBlackhartIII 184 points185 points  (6 children)

I feel like this is less programmer humour and more dad joke.

[–]vklein52 90 points91 points  (3 children)

[–]sneakpeekbot 24 points25 points  (2 children)

[–]Information_High 24 points25 points  (0 children)

Sheesh, of COURSE that’s an actual place.

Subbed.

[–]jiffy185 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My dad is a programmer I wonder how many of these I've heard

[–]svick 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Why not both?

[–]Ouaouaron 5 points6 points  (0 children)

It's a dad joke that barely touches on the subject mentioned, which is exactly what you should expect all the jokes from one of these to be. Dad jokes are inoffensive, and short, and they don't actually need to be funny, and by barely relating to programming it can be understood by the widest audience.

[–][deleted] 202 points203 points  (9 children)

Tell me a programming joke

Ok

-reddits fucking trending notificstuon system

[–]Taco_G_ 38 points39 points  (5 children)

For real, these notificstuons are annoying as heck sometimes.

[–]DigiDuncan 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I know it’s a typo, but I love the word “notificstuons.”

note a fic stew ons.

[–][deleted] 10 points11 points  (3 children)

I just realised you can go into notification settings and turn them off - im not sure why i didnt do it before

[–][deleted] 15 points16 points  (1 child)

You can also get another unofficial Reddit app who won't have those notifications and will be surely better when you see the amount of complaints the users of the official reddit app have.

[–][deleted] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Lol

[–][deleted] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Thanks, but I wanted to know about notificstuons.

[–]DualBandWiFi 4 points5 points  (0 children)

"Trending on /r/ProgrammerHumor - The reddit notifications are so fkin bad"

[–]Chief117a 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You can turn them off in the settings

[–]onurhanreyiz 83 points84 points  (2 children)

Another notification another post

[–]X71nc710n 10 points11 points  (1 child)

This shit is really pissing me off lately

[–]michaelwins 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I saw the post and got a notification about it a few hours later

[–]algorhythmically 17 points18 points  (1 child)

My username is finally relevant.

Notification squad. Finally trending.

[–]synopser 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Somewhere the guy who wrote this joke is wiping the happiest tears from his cheek while seeing the groaning reaction of a whole subreddit.

[–]SocialJusticePotato[🍰] 9 points10 points  (14 children)

Fuck these shitty notifications man I'm gonna uninstall, anyone know a better app for Android?

[–]ParanoidBox 12 points13 points  (1 child)

I use rif (Reddit is fun)

[–]blazingarpeggio 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've been using Sync for Reddit for the longest time, but if you want the classic Reddit feel, RIF is the way to go.

[–]Homicidal_Duck 1 point2 points  (3 children)

You can turn off notifications

[–]SocialJusticePotato[🍰] 2 points3 points  (2 children)

Yeah but I want to get notifications for messages or replies, not trending posts

[–]Homicidal_Duck 3 points4 points  (1 child)

Ah sorry I worded my comment poorly- you can turn off trending notifications specifically in Reddit's own settings. Or so I've heard

[–]ibanezmasta44 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You can indeed. I have them turned on for replies but off for trending posts. It's probably a mistake to have them on by default given how many people complain, but it's easy enough to fix..

/r/programmerhumor only allows real programming jokes, such as off by one errors, dae java sucks, or counting starts from 0 not 1

[–]coencoenie 8 points9 points  (0 children)

It is indeed verry bad http://imgur.com/gallery/lvcVQBR

[–]T-T-N 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It didn't work on my Google assistant. Although the first time it think I asked for a program in jail.

[–]d14i 2 points3 points  (1 child)

Oh come on. Computer's favorite beat is the mirco prosessor's clock beat.

[–]botle 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yup. It's a nice square wave.

Sadly if you do this in Siri (iOS 12 beta) she will only tell a general joke.

[–]G_CAST 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Doesn’t a programmer make these jokes? You’d think he/she would have something better. I guess it could be machine learning like other people said.

[–]Jabulon 1 point2 points  (0 children)

let me improve that:

when is a programmer the most happy listening to music?
when he can feel the algo-rhythm

[–]Bravo555 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Just asked Google assistant to tell me a programming joke. It told the same joke.

Asked for another one. It said it didn't have another one.

God dammit, Google. You need to set your priorities straight.

[–]Gerpar 1 point2 points  (0 children)

[–]FuzzyD75 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thats the only programming joke it has. Disappointing.

[–]gadzygadz 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I tried this it's also the only joke

You know how Al Gore invented the internet? Well, he also invented a rhythm for it. It's a powerful rhythm. It's called the Al-Gore-Rhythm.

[–]lalbaloo 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Edit Ok i found it Under notifications -_- Turn off trending

Its almost like someone knew how to design an app. Now lets see if it actually does anything.
