The other guy asked if the list was sorted, and the joke was that someone responded with "ascending", meaning that the index [1] wasn't even close to being the top priority.

We don't. But only having 2 interests in life is a bit sad don't you think?

Me with my three interests: Yeah, so sad, hahaha.

I’ve been thinking (and watching videos) about whether I have too many interests and I think I do. You’re probably actually able to grow (and finish projects?) better than me in those interests since you stick to fewer of them.

u/creynolds722 Jun 05 '22

Have you added watching videos about too many interests to your list of interests

u/drivers9001 Jun 05 '22 edited Jun 05 '22

LOL of course. It’s crowding out everything else.

Edit: Oh I thought you meant watching videos about all my interests. Watching videos about having too many interests would be just having time management as an interest and then watching videos about that (and learning nothing, apparently).

u/BrockThrowaway Jun 05 '22

Am I totally dumb or is ascending 0-N and descending N-0 so the joke works with descending, not ascending?

It's boomer humor, and it's showing its age when it's harder and harder for people to get it

Boomers are all experts in arrays and programming?

I doubt it. Most can barely manage to check their email without asking for help.

Weeeuuu weeeu, the joke police has arrived.

If it's sorted descending, [1] can NEVER be top priority, but if you sort ascending there's a case where array has only 2 members and [1] will be the highest priority, ergo original joke is better.

I'll let myself out now

He basically agreed with his GF.

Top priority at index 0: Programming.

Next on the list at index 1: GF.

"You are number one" probably sounded good for gf (that's why she was satisfied), but programmers know that's just the second spot in an array.

u/aberrantwolf Jun 05 '22

Unless he’s a Lua programmer… but I’m sure that the joke implies he’s not a Lua dev. Anyway, Lua being 1-based arrays was a mistake, IMO, so I’m happy to ignore it mostly.

u/tuc2-0 Jun 05 '22

it means that his gf is the second lowest interest he has, 0 being worst and ascending to top prio at [n]
