People are thinking that I'm drawing birds :).

So you've got this distributed coordination service where nodes need to democratically elect a leader, right? Sounds noble, sounds fair. But PLOT TWIST: every single node is like "yeah yeah, democracy is great... but have you considered ME as leader?" It's literally the most chaotic group project energy where everyone nominates themselves and nobody wants to follow anyone else. The Zookeeper ensemble turns into a pirate crew where every pirate thinks THEY should be captain. Distributed consensus algorithms be out here trying to bring order to absolute anarchy, and honestly? The fact that it works at all is a miracle of computer science.

This is a masterclass in legacy systems biting back! The tweet explains how Social Security runs on COBOL (a programming language from the 1950s) where dates are stored using the ISO 8601 standard with an epoch starting 150 years ago (1875). So when a date is unknown, it defaults to zero, which COBOL interprets as 1875. The humor comes from Donald Trump Jr. misinterpreting Elon Musk's comment about this technical quirk as evidence of "150-year-old people collecting Social Security" – when it's actually just a database returning default epoch values! It's the perfect intersection of ancient programming languages, government systems that never get updated, and non-technical people drawing wild conclusions. Mainframe programmers are cackling while pouring another cup of coffee right now.
