Here is your TCP joke.
I have received your TCP joke. *laughter*.

I’d tell you a UDP joke but I’m afraid you wouldn’t get it.

A Fediverse community for open-ended, thought provoking questions
Rules: (interactive)
1) Be nice and; have fun
Doxxing, trolling, sealioning, racism, toxicity and dog-whistling are not welcomed in AskLemmy. Remember what your mother said: if you can't say something nice, don't say anything at all. In addition, the site-wide Lemmy.world terms of service also apply here. Please familiarize yourself with them
2) All posts must end with a '?'
This is sort of like Jeopardy. Please phrase all post titles in the form of a proper question ending with ?
3) No spam
Please do not flood the community with nonsense. Actual suspected spammers will be banned on site. No astroturfing.
4) NSFW is okay, within reason
Just remember to tag posts with either a content warning or a [NSFW] tag. Overtly sexual posts are not allowed, please direct them to either !asklemmyafterdark@lemmy.world or !asklemmynsfw@lemmynsfw.com.
NSFW comments should be restricted to posts tagged [NSFW].
5) This is not a support community.
It is not a place for 'how do I?', type questions.
If you have any questions regarding the site itself or would like to report a community, please direct them to Lemmy.world Support or email info@lemmy.world. For other questions check our partnered communities list, or use the search function.
6) No US Politics.
Please don't post about current US Politics. If you need to do this, try !politicaldiscussion@lemmy.world or !uspolitics@lemmy.world
7) No Hit-and-Run questions.
Please don't delete your post for no apparent reason. If you plan on deleting a question later, say so in the post, or if you feel that you have a good reason to remove it, message a mod beforehand. It's not fair to the ones who took their time to answer, and it's not in the spirit of the community.

Heisenberg and Schrodinger are in a car. They get pulled over.
Heisenberg is driving, and the cop asks him, “Do you know how fast you were going?”
“No, but I know exactly where I am,” Heisenberg replies.
The cop says, “You were going 140 km/h, were only 120 is allowed”
Heisenberg throws up his hands and shouts, “Great! Now I’m lost!”
The cop thinks this is suspicious and orders him to pop open the trunk. He checks it out and says, “Do you know you have a dead cat back here?”
“We do now, you bastard!” shouts Schrodinger.
Why do programmers confuse Halloween and Christmas? Because OCT 31 == DEC 25.
Oh wow!
My friend asked how my C programming class was going. "I'm really struggling," I replied, "I could sure use some pointers." He said, "int* x, int* y, int* z."
I would tell you a UDP joke, but you might not get it.
IT guy here, such a classic, I absolutely love it.
There are two kinds of people. Those who can extrapolate from incomplete
A biologist, a physicist, and a mathematician are traveling in a train through Scotland when they see a sheep on a field. "Look! Scottish Sheep are black!" Says the biologist. "Well, at least some Scottish sheep are black" Says the physicist. The mathematician clears their throat and says "We know that there's at least one sheep in Scotland, and that at least half of it is black"
The programmer goes "Oh no, a special case!"
Three perfect logicians walk into a bar.
The bartender says "Y'all want something to drink?"
The first logician thinks about it and says "I don't know."
The second logician thinks about it and also says "I don't know."
The third logician says "Yes."
Edit: aw, dang, I see deadbeef beat me to this one... by 4 hours.
What do you get if you combine a jellyfish and an elephant?
A stern rebuke from the Ethics Committee.
Three logicians walk into a bar. The barman asks if they all want a beer.
The first says "I don't know", the second says "I don't know", the third says "yes".
Also, pretty much all of Futurama.
That one took me a second, but it's a good one
How many programmers does it need to change a light bulb?

Impossible, because that's a hardware problem.
An infinite number of mathematitians walk into a bar. The first orders a beer, the second orders half a beer, the third orders a quarter beer, the fourth an eighth beer...
The bartender cuts them off, puts 2 beers on the counter and says "Know your limits!"
Johnny was a chemist
Johnny is no more
What Johnny thought was H2O
Was H2SO4
What does a mathematician do when he's constipated?
He works it out with a pencil!
So many mathematical tools are underrated
There are 10 kinds of people in this world.
- Those that know binary.
- Those that don't.
- And those that didn't expect this joke to be in base 3.
EDIT:
A statistician, a biologist, and a mathematician are sitting in a cafe watching the building across the street. 2 people enter the building. Some time later, 3 people come back out.
- The statistician says, "Our initial count must've been off."
- The biologist replies, "I think they probably reproduced."
- The mathematician observes, "Now if exactly one person enters the building it will be empty."
My favourite is: There are two kinds of people, those that can extrapolate from incomplete data.
Or the two hardest things in IT:
-
Cache invalidation
-
Naming things
-
Off-by-one errors

- naming things
- cache invalidation

Those who understand binary, and those who don't.
And the ones who thought this was a trinary joke

Does "how do you tell the difference between a plumber and a chemist? Ask them to pronounce unionized" count? It doesn't exactly require advanced scientific knowledge or anything :p
What's the difference between a mechanical engineer and a civil engineer?
answer
A Mechanical engineer builds weapons, a civil engineer builds targets.

Leonard Susskind, on seeing yet another one of Einstein's predictions confirmed in an astronomy experiment: "They didn't call him Einstein for nothing!".
Let Epsilon be so small that Epsilon half is already negative.
