got to appreciate the effort to make the irony possible : )
- poopicus 2y agoAs someone who has difficulty in detecting irony, could you explain the irony in this statement?
- booleandilemma 2y ago2024 is the current year and it's the same as the number of lines of code. I don't think describing it as ironic is correct though.
- vsuperpower2020 2y agoThat certainly is gregarious!
- ngcc_hk 2y agoNever get that. Bad in literature. Thanks.
- roland35 2y agoIt's about ironic as rain on your wedding day.
- lelanthran 2y ago> It's about ironic as rain on your wedding day. Ah!!! It's the Alanis Morrisette meaning of irony, not the dictionary one!
- enumjorge 2y agoThe other response is correct that this is not ironic. Roughly speaking, irony is when something happens that is the opposite of what you'd expect. A firefighter's home burning down is ironic. Sometimes irony is related to unfortunate or funny coincidences/timing, and it's easy to confuse the two. Alanis's song Ironic famously has a lot of examples of this. Rain on your wedding day--is that ironic? Maybe? You certainly hope there is no rain on your wedding day, but I don't think there's an expectation that there won't be rain. Now if your parents decided to get a divorce on your wedding day, I think that's ironic. But the parent commenter dilutes the definition further. A project with 2024 lines of code in 2024 is just an amusing coincidence. There's no reason why you'd expect a project in 2024 to not have 2024 lines of code.
