Oh, the classic computer science wordplay! Left character complains "She bit me 8 times" while the right character retorts "Liar! It's just 1 byte." This is a nerdy pun exploiting the fact that 1 byte = 8 bits in computing. The accuser is technically correct about getting 8 individual bits, but the defender insists on measuring in bytes instead. It's like saying "I drank 16 ounces of water" and someone arguing "No, you just had 1 pint!" Technically correct is the best kind of correct in software engineering.
