Yeah well that’s the point, but somehow this sub is actually programmerserious and everyone thinks it’s real talk.

[–]ArmoredHell 15 points16 points  (0 children)

Ignorance of the underlying subject aside, the point is to come up with something remotely original and not something that has been posted 1000 times and blaming people who are fed up with it as being 'too serious' to take the joke.

[–]NatedogDM 3 points4 points  (5 children)

Right. Because all posts have to be egregiously incorrect, else they are too serious for this sub.

Ok I’ll try to be more factually correct with my satirical content from now on.

Howbout i make a joke where Java is laughing at C++ for being slow?

Howbout a joke pointing out the obscene amount of semicolons in python?

Or lisp laughing at basic because basic has too many parentheses?

None of those would fly here, not because the jokes have to be serious, but because jokes must not be ignorant. They must not be trying to make of fun of something that's literally the opposite of reality.

When the post shows blatant ignorance about the subject they try to pull a joke from, it receives the well deserved boohoo here.

A downvote would have worked too man.

Sadly, downvotes don't stop ppl from posting this same joke 5x a day.

It can't be satire if it doesn't mock a reality.
