  1. Your post must be a screen capture of a microblog-type post that includes the UI of the site it came from, preferably also including the avatar and username of the original poster. Including relevant comments made to the original post is encouraged.
  2. Your post, included comments, or your title/comment should include some kind of commentary or remark on the subject of the screen capture. Your title must include at least one word relevant to your post.
  3. You are encouraged to provide a link back to the source of your screen capture in the body of your post.
  4. Current politics and news are allowed, but discouraged. There MUST be some kind of human commentary/reaction included (either by the original poster or you). Just news articles or headlines will be deleted.
  5. Doctored posts/images and AI are allowed, but discouraged. You MUST indicate this in your post (even if you didn't originally know). If a post is found to be fabricated or edited in any way and it is not properly labeled, it will be deleted.

There are 10 types of people in the world: those who know how binary works, those who don't, and those who didn't expect this joke to be in ternary

I'm definitely in the 10th group here.

My personal top 10 binary numbers are 1000101 and 110100100. 0 and 1 though are my top 10 binary digits.

"binary digits" is an oxymoron. "Digit" implies decimal counting.

[–] Poach@lemmy.world 10 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Is that why all digital computers use binary?

This may actually be an example of where a word's meaning had changed over time. Not sure of the etymology.

Some random dictionary has "one of the elements that combine to form numbers in a system other than the decimal system" as one of the definitions.

I spent way too long trying to prove something there...

I think it's because they use discrete numbers instead of varying voltages in analog systems. There have been digital computers built that use base 3.

There are 10 kinds of people in the world. People who understand binary and people who don’t.

Bullshit, 1 should have been the top number!
