They’re millenials my age who have been actively making web content since 2005. They definitely know that 10 is binary for 2.
I don’t see why autocorrect would be blamed then…
Because it’s correcting something?
Using binary in normally discussion would be weird. So autocorrect corrects it. The other implication is that somehow the autocorrect knows that the dude has a micropenis.
I’m not gonna argue over it, its just how I read it.
Hey man, this isn’t Reddit, we’re allowed to have different opinions without needing to enter into gladitorial combat.
I’m certainly open to it being a binary joke, that’s how I read it at first, too. I really had to think how else it could be meant.
I can believe that the Cyanide & Happiness authors would have heard of binary before, I just doubt they would expect the same from their audience. Like, the comic frequently makes penis jokes, it’s decidedly not sophisticated.
As for autocorrect knowing he has a micropenis, well, it is a fictional world, that could be the punchline here.
At the very least, if someone doesn’t know binary, that’s how they would probably read it and get a chuckle out of it, so I guess like someone else replied to me, maybe it’s both jokes.
Is the actual joke that autocorrect inserted factually correct information?
10 is 2 in binary.
Its also 16 in hex and 8 in octal. This is why we have prefixes!
Sure, but I doubt that’s the joke the comic was going for…
Its pretty clear they were?
That seems like far too nerdy of a joke for Cyanide & Happiness, and I don’t see why autocorrect would be blamed then…
“Far too nerdy”?
