The Great Language Classification Debate
Look at all those programming languages up there, displayed like some prestigious entomological collection. Hundreds of beetles, each with their unique syntax and quirks, pinned meticulously to the wall. And then there's HTML. Five lonely beetles at the bottom. Separated. Ostracized. The markup language that developers love to exclude from the programming language family reunion. The eternal debate continues. Is HTML a programming language? Well, if you've ever tried explaining to a client why their website looks different in Safari, you know it can certainly bug you like one.

Strong Password Huh Question Mark
Google asks for a strong password with letters, numbers, and symbols. User responds with HTML tags that make the word "Password" both and an . Technically, it's a mix of symbols and letters. Technically correct—the best kind of correct. Security experts are currently rocking back and forth in the corner.

Actually Quite Great Strong Password
Behold, the ultimate security hack – using HTML tags as your actual password. Google says "mix letters, numbers, and symbols" and this genius just went full markup language. Technically, it does have all three requirements. The best part? Any decent security scanner would have an existential crisis trying to figure out if this is a password or just really aggressive formatting. Ten bucks says some poor backend developer is frantically patching this exploit as we speak.

Strong Password Indeed
When Google asks for a "strong password," and you take it literally with HTML tags. Technically correct—the best kind of correct. The password field contains <strong><h1>Password</h1></strong> which is indeed a very "strong" password according to HTML semantics. Security experts hate this one weird trick.

The Programming Language Bakery
The bread hierarchy has spoken! Behold the programming language bakery where HTML is that one weird flat bread that didn't rise properly because surprise it's not even a programming language—it's a markup language! Meanwhile, Python, Java, C++, PHP, and C# are all fluffy, fully-risen loaves ready to handle actual computation logic. The bread metaphor is painfully accurate—HTML provides structure but can't "do" anything without JavaScript kneading some life into it. Next time someone claims HTML is their favorite programming language, just point to this carb-loaded taxonomy chart.

You Have 10 Seconds To Escape The Markup Zone
Calling HTML a programming language is like calling a hammer a power tool. The father's reaction is the software industry's collective response to anyone who thinks markup is actual programming. That "10 seconds to get off my property" hits harder than a stack overflow error at 4:59 PM on a Friday. Real programmers would rather debug a recursive function than listen to someone brag about their HTML "coding skills."

HTML Tryna Fit In
Poor HTML, squeezed between actual programming languages like a cat between loaves of bread! It's the classic "one of these things is not like the others" situation. While Python, Java, C++, PHP, and C# are busy compiling and executing, HTML is just sitting there... marking up text and looking cute. No functions, no loops, no variables—just tags and more tags. It's like bringing a spoon to a knife fight and wondering why everyone's laughing. The cozy smile says it all: blissfully unaware it's not a programming language but still happy to be included in the dev conversation. Bless its heart for trying!

HTML: The Programming Language Debate Finally Settled
The eternal debate rages on! While "normies" insist HTML isn't a programming language, some absolute madlad created PLHTML - a cursed abomination that implements a Fibonacci sequence generator entirely in HTML attributes . This is the programming equivalent of saying "watch me" right before doing something horrifically unnecessary just to prove a point. The creator even added custom tags like <var> , <data> , and <output> with attributes like data-while to simulate actual programming constructs. The right side shows it actually works! This is what happens when spite becomes a programming motivation. Somewhere, a computer science professor is sobbing uncontrollably.

HTML Programmer Wins Turing Prize
STOP THE PRESSES! The computing world has been turned upside down as an HTML "programmer" somehow convinced the Turing Award committee they're an actual developer! The joke here is that HTML is a markup language, not a programming language - it's like giving a Nobel Prize in Physics to someone who put together IKEA furniture! The right side of the image shows the "genius" at work - literally just styling some text in a browser inspector. Next up: CSS artist wins Fields Medal for changing a background color to #2a2a2a. The computing community is in shambles!

When You're Not Really A Programming Language But Still Vibin' With The Big Boys
HTML snuggled between actual programming languages like a cat between loaves of bread is the most accurate thing I've seen all week. Just chilling there with its markup tags, no variables, no functions, no compiler... yet somehow still invited to all the dev conferences. It's like that friend who can't code but still gets included in all the technical discussions because they bring snacks. "What's that? You can't handle logic? It's fine, you make pretty buttons."

Modern Web Design: Div Soup For The Soul
Oh. My. God. The absolute TRAVESTY that is modern web development! Look at this abomination - everything is just a <div> soup now! HTML purists over here using semantic tags like civilized humans while the "agile & dynamic" crowd is just slapping <div> tags on LITERALLY EVERYTHING like they're going out of style! 💅 Want to create a navigation menu? That's a <div>. Need a blockquote? ANOTHER <div>! Creating a responsive grid? Let's throw in some <span> tags just to spice things up! Screen readers are SCREAMING in digital agony right now! Accessibility? Never heard of her! 🙄

Div Inception: The Bottomless Pit Of Frontend Development
The nested cardboard boxes perfectly capture the existential dread of writing nested <div> tags in HTML. Just when you think you've closed all your tags, surprise! You're still 17 levels deep in a container hell of your own making. This is what happens when CSS Grid is too scary so you just keep adding <div> wrappers until your layout accidentally works. The "HERE WE GO CODING HTML AGAIN" caption has the same energy as sighing heavily before opening your 8th StackOverflow tab of the morning. Frontend veterans know: we don't write HTML, we apologize to it.
