Propose new jokes here

[ljsalvatierra]

My first joke proposal, too bad? 😝

H. Potter: What's your favourite language? T.M. Riddle: Python, why? Harry P.: “Efe iska?”

[bennuttall]

I had to google it

[alexsavio]

Hahah... me too. I would put 'H. Potter' instead.

Well, the joke is not in the translation, could be "sssha hass shae" or any snake sound.

[alexsavio]

I guess we shouldn't discriminate bad jokes. It is not their fault that we don't understand it. Maybe in the future, when we are the world reference for one-line geek jokes, we can make a world voting to make a good selection.

[ljsalvatierra]

Ouch! Right to the feelings 😝

[bennuttall]

There are good jokes, there are bad jokes, and there are non-jokes.

What do you call a parrot that says "Squawk! Pieces of nine! Pieces of nine!"?

A parrot-ey error.

[ljsalvatierra]

Another vim joke:

How do you know whether a person is a Vim user? Use nano in front of them.

[ogeorg]

¿Sabéis quién es el mejor matemático después de Erdős? ¡Ertres!

De un tweet de Clara Grima ‏@ClaraGrima, chiste de @ej_molina_c

[bennuttall]

Great joke!

Why are Python programmers like Bonny Prince Charley? Because they have learnt that in exceptional circumstances you need to try, try again!

[ElonSatoshi]

It's been over a year since the last suggestion, but here's one for 2020:

What do computers and air conditioners have in common? They both stop working properly if you open Windows!

[PureTryOut]

I have this teknik.io bookmark with some Unix jokes, some can probably be used here. I just want less Chuck Norris jokes really 🤷

Some I like from the paste:

If you have any trouble sounding condescending, find a UNIX user to show you how it's done.

Unix is user-friendly. It's just picky about who its friends are.

Windows 95/98, (n): 32 bit extension and a graphical shell for a 16 bit patch to an 8 bit operating system originally coded for a 4 bit microprossessor, written by a 2 bit company that can't stand 1 bit of competition.

People say that if you play Microsoft CD's backwards, you hear satanic things, but that's nothing, because if you play them forwards, they install Windows.

Computers are like air conditioners, they stop working properly if you open Windows.

A couple of topical suggestions:

• Injecting bleach through the fan housing is NOT the correct way to remove viruses from your machine.
• 5 minutes in the microwave or 45 at 250 Celsius may remove viruses from your media - (along with everything else.
• Windows might not be a brute but it is insensitive in any case.

Hi, I'd like to propose a joke. I opened pull request #85 with the patch.

How many Haskell programmers does it take to change a lightbulb? Haskell programmers don't 'change' lightbulbs, they 'replace' them. And you must also replace the whole house at the same time.

The above quote was taken from the free book F# for Fun and Profit.

I read this one on Reddit

If the code runs and it works, it's not spaghetti, it's art!

[MojizDev]

("Hello, World") is every legend's starting, then whats the ending? @#@#_$:(&

[mallo-c]

In 2021 Go language, in 2078 Went language.

[Aaseer]

Random guy: "Your are a dict"
Me: print(f" you.")

[Bromemess]

Why did the programmer cross the road to get to the other line

[GadgetSteve]

How can Java be like a rail journey? - Sometimes when you get to the end of the line you have forgotten where you started from, where you were trying to go and what you have seen along the way!

[AffirmativeGuy]

Everyone: Why did the snake left the arena?
Me: Cause the Python came.

What do you call a parrot that says "Squawk! Pieces of nine! Pieces of nine!"?

A parrot-ey error.

I get that Parrot-ey is a parody of parity, but the entire set up confuses me. Is it even vaguely related to computing, or does it just exist as the first parrot related thing someone could imagine to give them the excuse to parody parity with parrot-ey?

[bennuttall]

Pirate parrots saying "pieces of eight" is a thing: https://charingcrossmarket.com/2021/05/28/squawk-pieces-of-eight/

A parity error is "an error that results from irregular changes to data, as it is recorded when it is entered in memory." https://www.techopedia.com/definition/8788/parity-error

Therefore "pieces of nine" is a parity error - which lends itself to the pun "parroty error".

Thank you for the clarification! I didn't know pieces of 8 or 9 mattered at all. The parity, or rather parrot-ey, error now makes sense！

Why did the developer go broke?
Because they used up all their cache!
