Private String Gender
When your object-oriented programming skills finally come in handy at a protest. Someone clearly paid attention in CS class instead of sleeping through encapsulation lectures. The sign brilliantly uses Java's access modifiers to make a statement - keeping gender as a private string variable that can't be modified by outside classes, rather than a public constant boolean that everyone gets to weigh in on. The compiler of this joke deserves a promotion.

Why Put A Tuxedo On Your Variables
The top panel shows Pooh looking unimpressed with a public variable. The middle panel shows Fancy Pooh absolutely delighted with the exact same variable made private but wrapped in getter and setter methods. The bottom panel captures that moment when you join a project and see this pattern everywhere but can't figure out why anyone would add all this boilerplate just to access a simple variable. It's like putting on a tuxedo to walk to your mailbox.

Never Gonna Give You Up, OSI Style
The classic "passing notes in class" scenario gets a brilliant networking twist! This meme shows how data packets travel through the OSI model layers, from Application to Physical and back again—only for the recipient to discover they've been Rick Rolled at the end. It's basically TCP/IP's version of that friend who spent 20 minutes crafting an elaborate joke just to deliver a terrible punchline. The network went through all that trouble—encapsulation, transmission, decapsulation—just to send you a Rick Astley meme. Congrats, you've been Rick Rolled at the packet level. Your data plan died for this.

Private In Theory, Public In Practice

Private In Theory, Public In Practice
Java: "We use private keywords for encapsulation and data hiding." Developers: "Hold my reflection API." The left side shows the ultimate Java encapsulation heist - using reflection to forcibly access a private field. It's like telling someone their house is secure while showing them exactly how to pick the lock. Sure, Java tries to protect your data with private keywords, but reflection just walks in through the bathroom window with a smug grin. After 15 years of coding, I've seen this "elegant solution" in production more times than I care to admit. Security through obscurity at its finest!
