    I don’t really know any jokes but maybe a random comic strip can help the cause (had to dig for something I haven’t downloaded from Lemmy):

    What did the egg say to the other egg?

    Nothing. Eggs don’t talk.

    What did the muffin say to the other muffin?

    OMG I CAN TALK!

  • Sherlock Holmes and Dr. Watson decide to go on a camping trip. After dinner and a bottle of wine, they lay down for the night, and go to sleep.

    Some hours later, Holmes awoke and nudged his faithful friend.

    “Watson, look up at the sky and tell me what you see.”

    Watson replied, “I see millions of stars.”

    “What does that tell you?”

    Watson pondered for a minute.

    “Astronomically, it tells me that there are millions of galaxies and potentially billions of planets.” “Astrologically, I observe that Saturn is in Leo.” “Horologically, I deduce that the time is approximately a quarter past three.” “Theologically, I can see that God is all powerful and that we are small and insignificant.” “Meteorologically, I suspect that we will have a beautiful day tomorrow.” “What does it tell you, Holmes?”

    Holmes was silent for a minute, then spoke: “Watson, you idiot. Someone has stolen our tent!”

    What’s the difference between a heroin addict and a meth addict? A heroin addict will steal your stuff and chill; a meth addict will steal your stuff and then help you look for it.

    I would show you the laughable perl code I’m working on these days, but there’s a 50/50 chance it’ll backfire and make your day worse.

      hey cool! I met Larry at the very first perl conference in the 90’s, it warms me to my core to see folks still use this lovely language.

      Tell granny what version you’re up to!

        Last time I was worried about the version was a long time ago, but I remember at one point manually upgrading to 5.6.0 because of some specific feature. Other than that I’ve mostly used the system default ever since I first started working with CGI back in 1998.

        I still use it for the simple reason that it’s the language I know best, and I can hack together what I need without reading up documentation in order to invoke whatever superstitious practices some languages consider “good karma” (looking at you there, python).

    I was talking to a friend earlier today. Both me and my friend have played in bands in our youth, and were swapping war stories about those days. I was reminded of this fun anecdote:

    There was one gig where the band I was in played at a tiny little all-day festival somewhere in Belgium, and the stage setup was really messy. The guitarist trod on the power cable to my keyboard, and pulled it so that it interrupted the power, but only for a split second. This reset it to its default settings, losing all the custom sounds I’d set up for some of the buttons. And, to my horror, causing it to play a samba demo song instead of the backing sequence I’d programmed when I pressed one of those preset buttons. This did not blend nicely at all with the gothic metal we were in the middle of playing.

    Also, this was a summer festival and we were playing at the height of the midafternoon heat

    … in leather trousers, big ruffle shirts and black mesh tops.

    Have you ever seen goths sweat the white foundation off their faces?
