No, it's just a pretty lame joke that got repeated like five million times.

Unfortunately our community breeds an extremely self-referential, repetitive humour that can get quite annoying. Like that one guy pissing his pants laughing because 42 hahahaha.

That guys response is still only half as annoying as seeing continual bot spam, especially from useless pretentious ones that provide no value like this one

The "paid, not payed" bot is one of the most annoying, probably because I saw it so often.

Like... Sure, whatever, you're right, but this person was trying to engage in thoughtful conversation before your stupid-ass bot came in and interjected a totally unnecessary comment.

The only bots that I would welcome here are the ones that can do a task when called, StabBot or GifReversingBot for example.

Everything else is just spam.

Sounds like someone needs to google en passant.

new inside joke just dropped

Honestly it's pretty rare for this sub to have genuinely good jokes

Most are just really forced jokes based around CS101 concepts shared by college students, most of the rest are the same few jokes told over and over like you said, and only a tiny proportion are genuinely clever programming jokes

A lot of these jokes are literally older than some of the people in my computer science program
