Yeah, never heard of that product before…

What would be the name of Kirby’s enemy if he was a predator?

King Diddyddy!

[aah31415 (The maker of SitF, Radiostrocity, The Lifenote and TGBing; The Second Ascended...; And just maybe a security warning come alive...?)]

Is that supposed to be a regular enemy, or a rare one?

[blackjacksike (Weird FNAF cat)]

I think it’s Kirby’s nemesis or something.

[aah31415 (The maker of SitF, Radiostrocity, The Lifenote and TGBing; The Second Ascended...; And just maybe a security warning come alive...?)]

Yeah, pretty sure that’s what it’s supposed to be. The rarest of the rare… just one exists.

I am not sure where I heard this from, but here it goes:

Fruit Flies like banana. Time Flies like arrow.

@AnthropocenianAge

Time Flies like arrow.

Shouldn’t that be “like an arrow”?

[AnthropocenianAge (AnthropocenianAge Arthropleura wants to give you a hug!)]

That is how the joke goes…

[aah31415 (The maker of SitF, Radiostrocity, The Lifenote and TGBing; The Second Ascended...; And just maybe a security warning come alive...?)]

Guess that a joke’s structure is of higher rank than it’s grammer composition.

Took me a second there

[aah31415 (The maker of SitF, Radiostrocity, The Lifenote and TGBing; The Second Ascended...; And just maybe a security warning come alive...?)]

It’d be pretty concerning if the “Time Flies” existed and could eat all the various materials arrows are made from…

A plant started making funny movements at an animal, confusing the animal. The animal asked in its own language “Um, plant, you ok there?” The plant responded with a chemically secreted coded language. When decoded by a more advanced animal species, the decoded chemical language said “I find it funny that an organism with a brain is confused by another organism without a brain finding something funny.”

Can you find anything funny if you’re brainless through?

Why do programmers confound Halloween with Christmas? Because Oct 31 equals Dec 25.

[aah31415 (The maker of SitF, Radiostrocity, The Lifenote and TGBing; The Second Ascended...; And just maybe a security warning come alive...?)]

As in both are important holidays at the present?

[Oncpapa]

No, it’s joke about numeric bases.

In english, we type in Decimal (‘Dec’ for short), so for example we would type ‘10’, meaning in the right most spot we have 0 ones and in the next spot we have 1 ten, we multiply by 10 for every time we increment left, so hundreds, thousands, etc.

The joke is about the numeric system Octal (‘Oct’ for short), which instead of each digit multiplying by ten it’s an eight, so ‘31’ in Octal is 3 eights and 1 one, or 25 in decimal.

[aah31415 (The maker of SitF, Radiostrocity, The Lifenote and TGBing; The Second Ascended...; And just maybe a security warning come alive...?)]

Oh I see. Do programmers still use octal so much through?

[Oncpapa]

Not that I’m aware of. But base-2 (Also called binary) is common as that’s what computers count in, hexadecimal is also occasionally used. I assume programmers were used because that’s the profession that works best for the joke setup.

[aah31415 (The maker of SitF, Radiostrocity, The Lifenote and TGBing; The Second Ascended...; And just maybe a security warning come alive...?)]

I guess it’s close enough.

[hhyyrylainen]

Unix file permissions are still often specified in octal numbers. So I’ve had to use octal numbers in the past few weeks when working, well to be fair it’s more like devops than pure software development, but still I needed to use them.
