The stick figure enthusiastically declares JavaScript as their favorite language, only to reveal why: JavaScript's infamous type coercion turns "11" + 1 into "111" (string concatenation) but "11" - 1 into 10 (numeric subtraction). This is the programming equivalent of falling in love with someone for their most chaotic trait.

The duality of user experience design - less information, same amount of despair.
