Friend who is not a software person sent me this tweet, which amused me as it did them. They asked if "runk" was real, which I assume not.

But what are some good examples of real ones like this? xz became famous for the hack of course, so i then read a bit about how important this compression algorithm is/was.

If we could all just stop making changes to time zones, that would make my job very slightly easier.

Perhaps we'll move to UTC+10¼, and then move forward 45 minutes in the summer.

If the day number is a prime, then we'll go back π hours.

Hope that will help!
