EDIT: I see some comments saying the Mastodon post didn't add anything to it. I agree!

I am a little new to posting so I thought it was polite to include the source.

It was late and at first glance my sleepy mind thought they just saw these two images coincidentally side by side on their phone. Not like it was just a single meme. LOL

Here's the raw image for fellow meme collectors. :)

Here are some bad puns that are to do with data types. I'm sorry. Comment down some of your own concoctions!

  1. What does a programmer say when they is accused of lying? I promise I'm not boolean you!

explanation of the puns"Fooling" sounds very similar to "boolean", the latter being a data type commonly used when programming. Yes I will be explaining each and every pun. Yes, these puns are not very good at all, I'm not a professional comedian.

The one in the title is a play on words, as "Charlotte's Web" is a book that can be represented using a series of strings, a data type commonly used for storing words and letters, while a literal web is made of strings of silk.

  1. You try to pay with $100 of Monopoly money. in a supermarket. The cashier tells you that it's unfortunately not real.

explanation of the punMonopoly money does not have cents and is made of whole numbers, so it is an integer value, not of the "real" data type!

  1. What would you call fuel made of alphabet soup? CHARcoal!

explanation of punThe data type char stores characters, like the letters of the alphabet. This is a play on words with the word "charcoal", a common fuel used in barbeques and such.

  1. How do Japanese programmers read arrays? By decrementing from -1!

explanation of punMany Japanese texts read from right to left rather than left to right. Reading an array in reverse other would start at -1, getting the last item in the array, and the index would decrease from there. This is in contrast to the non-reverse order of increasing the index 0/1. (Of course, Japanese programmers don't actually read arrays like this usually)

not related to data types, but just came up with it as I was typing this:

f. What did the Python user say to the C++ user when they spilled coffee on their laptop? OOPs!

explanation of the punPython uses object oriented programming, or OOP

cobol post (thelemmy.club)

COBOL joke from 1999:

A COBOL programmer, tired of all the extra work and chaos caused by the impending Y2K bug, decides to have himself cryogenically frozen for a year so he can skip all of it.

He gets himself frozen, and eventually is woken up when several scientists open his cryo-pod.

"Did I sleep through Y2K? Is it the year 2000?", he asks.

The scientists nervously look at each other. Finally, one of them says "Actually, it's the year 9999. We hear you know COBOL."

It's probably there just because it was one of the many files preinstalled on one of Epstein's computers that the FBI nabbed. Still funny.

OpenChaos.dev is an experiment where the most upvoted pull request gets merged every day. Today’s winning PR added a 1.337% chance of serving a blank page. And Vercel, doing exactly what it’s supposed to do, cached it. So a probabilistic failure became a permanent outage.

a.k.a. Surveillance as a Service

Pollard also provided new detail on the progress of Atlantic NET, a programme intended to examine how persistent anti submarine warfare sensing might be delivered through service based models rather than through a single platform acquisition. “The first formal element of the tendering process for Atlantic NET commenced in September 2025 and was completed in January 2026,” he said.

“This involved the assessment of 26 compliant industry proposed solutions for ‘Persistent ASW Sense (ISR) as a Service’ and followed on from six months of regular two way industry engagement with approximately 327 companies in the supplier base. These are largely UK based, or have UK elements in their proposals.”

Irony is dead and the military industrial complex killed it.

Subs as a Service?

Who knew the SaaS acronym joke structure had such real world depth?
