It's All Math? Always Has Been

OH MY GOD, the EXISTENTIAL CRISIS every CS student faces when they realize their degree is basically just fancy math with extra steps! 😱 You sign up thinking you'll be hacking mainframes and creating the next Facebook, but SURPRISE! It's just calculus and discrete mathematics wearing a trench coat! The cosmic horror of discovering that the cool programming career you dreamed of is actually built on a foundation of mathematical theorems that have been stalking you since high school. And honey, that astronaut with the gun? That's just the senior developers who've accepted this traumatic truth years ago. They're not even sorry about it!

Fort Ran From String Manipulation

The left side shows the beefy, muscular Doge representing Fortran—the ancient powerhouse of scientific computing—flexing its numerical computation muscles. Meanwhile, the weak Doge on the right is begging for mercy from string manipulation tasks, which Fortran handles about as gracefully as a physicist at a poetry slam. This is basically every scientific programmer from the 60s who chose Fortran for its blazing fast number crunching, then spent the next decade crying whenever they needed to process text. The language was literally designed by people who thought "who needs words when you have EQUATIONS?"

My Body Is A Complexity Machine

When your algorithm skills are so bad, you take logarithmic problems and somehow turn them into cubic complexity nightmares. It's like having a superpower, but the worst one possible. Your brain is essentially an inefficiency generator that would make computer scientists weep. For the uninitiated: O(log(n)) represents highly efficient algorithms that barely break a sweat as inputs grow, while O(n³) is the computational equivalent of trying to empty the ocean with a teaspoon. Congratulations on being a walking computational disaster!

The Forgotten Performance King

A classic language war in its natural habitat! Someone makes the bold claim that C/C++ and assembly are unbeatable performance kings, only to be countered by the chaotic suggestion to "google Fortran Tutorial." The third commenter's "Holy hell" perfectly captures that moment when you realize Fortran—that ancient scientific computing language from the 1950s—still outperforms modern languages in numerical computations. It's like watching someone bring a calculator to a smartphone fight and somehow win. The real punchline? All three comments have exactly 1 point each. Nobody's winning this war.

I Heart U vs. I OR U

Oh sweet heavens! Normal humans see "I ❤️ U" as a declaration of affection, but computer science people? They're having an existential crisis because they're reading the NOT ("!") in front of it! 😱 Their romantic lives are FOREVER CURSED by seeing love notes as conditional statements! Dating a programmer is basically signing up to have your Valentine's card interpreted as a truth table!

The Only Language I Speak Is AAAAAAAA

This is peak computer science theory humor! The image shows a Deterministic Finite Automaton (DFA) with state q0 that loops on input 'A' forever. For the uninitiated, DFAs are simple computational models that recognize regular languages by transitioning between states based on input symbols. This particular DFA can only process strings of repeated 'A's and literally nothing else - hence the "AAAAAAAAAA" language joke. It's basically the computational equivalent of a person who can only say one word. Computer scientists spent years studying these formal languages just so we could make this joke.

Deep Research Indeed

Ah, the classic "spend 2 minutes and 2 seconds to count to 10" problem. ChatGPT just turned basic geometry into a research dissertation. That's the same energy as developers who write 200 lines of documentation for a function that returns true or false. The best part? It's clearly a heptagon (7 sides), but ChatGPT's counting each "distinct corner" like it's being paid by the vertex. Next up: AI spending 4 minutes explaining why 2+2=5 with "reasoned thinking."
