Drove one for a while - just wasn't switched on enough to think of that plate!
- biohacker42 18y agoCould you please tell me more about yourself? I am serious, this is not a joke. Here's the thing, I am one of those get off my lawn old guys. I am continually amazed at how many people on the internet have not seen the above picture. (Or any other old meme) And I've always pictured the people to whom this stuff is new as technology novices. But that mental image fails me when it comes to programmer jokes, those require insider knowledge to be funny. And thus we have a paradox, how can you know enough to laugh at that and not have seen it in 1000 times before. So yes, if you could say a few words about that it would help me understand the internet better!
- arockwell 18y agoI'm not the parent post, but I've never seen that picture either. I'm 26 with a degree in computer engineering and employed as a web programmer. Maybe the picture is a less common meme than you though?
- a-priori 18y agoThen again, a friend showed me this when I was in high school (ca. 5 years ago). With all the memes floating around, I think it's the luck of the draw which you happen to stumble across and when.
- MaysonL 18y agoI've been programming since before that car was built (if my memory of VW history is correct), and I've never seen that picture before (and I've been on the net since the late '80s).
- biohacker42 18y agoThis only deepens the mystery!
- astrec 18y agoSure. I've been cutting code for 22 years. I've been an academic, an entrepreneur and the coffee boy. I don't remember ever seeing it before, but a technology novice I am not.
