I don’t get what’s supposed to be wrong here, it works on my machine
This feels like AI
In case you are serious: It’s probably not.
When you’re not careful with parallel processing / multithreading, you can run into something called a “race condition”, where results of parallel computations end up in the wrong order because some were finished faster than others.
The joke here is that whoever “programmed” this commic is bad at parallel progmming and got the bubbles in the wrong order because of that.
The image makes perfect sense if you read it in the order 3, 1, 2.The image makes perfect sense if you read it in the order 3, 1, 2.
OH!
I was assuming the joke was that 1 and 3 got swapped around. Because it doesn’t really make sense for 2 to be mixed up, considering it’s from a different person entirely…
Which meant that the joke just made no sense, because swapping 1 and 3 is just as nonsense as the original order.

Why comment here at all
Because we’re programmers, and programmers are infamous for being rules-/logic-driven.
If, as a comment below suggests, the joke is that it’s meant to be read in order 3, 1, 2, that violates the rule that race conditions typically don’t cause an entirely different program to produce the output. So if the joke is meant to be “lol we have a race condition”, bubbles should be mixed up for one person, not mixed between people.
People don’t get the joke because the joke violates its own internal rules.

Why are you all overengineering the joke this much?
Because I’m literally an engineer?
Honestly, this isn’t me artificially coming in and doing something weird. It’s just me trying to explain how my brain naturally interpreted it. It never occurred to me to include the left guy’s speech bubble in the race condition until I saw someone else’s comment explaining it.

You have NO IDEA how hard my autism hates you!
