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!

The Fundamental Difference Between Scientists And Computer Scientists
Regular scientists question why something works. Computer scientists stare blankly at their screens at 3AM wondering why their perfectly valid code refuses to run. Then it suddenly works without changing anything. Science has rules. Programming has mood swings.

I Wish I Could Code At The Speed I Watched My CS Lectures On YouTube
The great irony of CS education: spending countless nights at 2AM watching your professor drone on about data structures at 2x speed, only to find yourself taking 3 hours to write a simple for loop the next day. Your brain has evolved to process information at chipmunk-voice velocity, but your fingers still type at the pace of a sleepy sloth. If only coding skills scaled with lecture playback speed, we'd all be 10x developers by now. Instead, we're just people who get annoyed when podcasters talk too slowly.

Ctrl F Go Brrr: The Digital Divide
The eternal struggle of our digital existence summed up in one image! On the left, we have Mr. Incredible looking absolutely delighted because finding text is basically a superpower—just smash Ctrl+F and boom, instant results. Meanwhile, on the right, we have the nightmare version where you're desperately trying to locate something in an image and suddenly you're living in a horror movie. "Is that pixel slightly different or am I hallucinating after staring at my screen for 6 hours straight?" No search function to save you now, mortal.

Every Base Is Base 10
The numerical system paradox strikes again! The question asks what base has 10 digits in base 10, and the answer distribution is pure mathematical chaos. The trick is that any number system represents its own base as "10" - binary (base 2) writes 2 as "10", octal (base 8) writes 8 as "10", etc. So technically, every base is "base 10" when written in its own number system! The frustrated middle character screaming "no!!! it's two!!!" gets it but can't handle the semantic trickery, while the chill characters on both ends are just vibing with "it's ten" - both correct in their own way. It's the perfect trap for the pedantic programmer who lives in the binary world but has to interface with humans.

Pointers: The Memory Monster
The top panel shows a terrifying green monster labeled "POINTERS" about to devour SpongeBob, while the bottom panel shows two SpongeBob characters with text: "C/C++ DEVELOPERS" (looking smug) versus "BRO WHO HASN'T SEEN C IN HIS LIFE" (looking terrified). DARLING, let me tell you about the TRAUMA that is pointers! Those little memory-address demons that have C/C++ developers strutting around like they've conquered Mount Doom while the rest of us are LITERALLY DYING of confusion! The audacity of these pointer-wielding wizards to look so smug when the rest of us are having existential crises just trying to figure out why our code is segfaulting for the 47TH TIME TODAY! 💀

Time Traveler's Interview Fail
Reality check for time travelers: fantasizing about impressing ancient people with your coding skills until someone asks a basic data structures question. Turns out knowing how to reverse a binary tree is actually useful somewhere—just not in your imaginary sermon on the mount. The ultimate programmer humility check isn't a whiteboard interview at Google, it's being exposed as a fraud in 33 AD.

Matlab Users: First Time?
Oh. My. GOD. The AUDACITY of R claiming to be good for statistical computing while starting arrays at 1?! 💀 Meanwhile, Matlab users are sitting there with their smug little faces like "Welcome to the dark side, honey." They've been living in this one-indexed NIGHTMARE since the beginning of time! The rest of us zero-indexing purists are LITERALLY SHAKING right now. Starting arrays at 1 is the programming equivalent of putting pineapple on pizza – technically possible but morally questionable!

Memory Leak In Pseudo Code
Student: "Is it alright if we memory leak but get the correct answer in our pseudo code?" Instructor: "I have no idea what this question means." The beautiful moment when you've ascended to such a level of programming confusion that even your instructor's brain buffer overflows. It's like asking if your imaginary car can have flat tires but still win the race. The instructor's response is basically the computer science equivalent of "Error 404: Understanding Not Found."

The Real Truth About Programming
The eternal paradox of our craft in one perfect sign. Spent six years getting a CS degree just to stare at code that worked yesterday but doesn't today because Mercury is in retrograde or something. The best part? That magical moment when you remove a line of code to see if it breaks things, it doesn't, but you're too afraid to delete it permanently because the programming gods are fickle and vengeful. The only field where impostor syndrome is actually the correct diagnosis.

About To Get Serious, Wish Me Luck
Sweet summer child thinks Harvard's CS50 intro course with Scratch is the hard part. That's like celebrating you survived the kiddie pool before diving into the Mariana Trench. The full CS50x will introduce you to memory management in C where every segmentation fault feels like a personal attack from the universe. Those teary anime eyes won't be so dry when you're debugging pointer arithmetic at 2AM while questioning your life choices.

Not False Is True
The ultimate programmer dad joke that makes CS professors chuckle smugly. In Boolean logic, !false (the logical NOT of false) evaluates to true . So technically, the statement "!false is true" is... well, true. It's like the programming equivalent of saying "the opposite of a lie is the truth" but with syntax that makes non-programmers stare blankly while developers snort coffee through their noses.
