There are 10 types of people in the world. Those who understand binary, those who don’t, those who think it’s a ternary joke and those who understand that it works with any base.
They’re millenials my age who have been actively making web content since 2005. They definitely know that 10 is binary for 2.
I don’t see why autocorrect would be blamed then…
Because it’s correcting something?
Using binary in normally discussion would be weird. So autocorrect corrects it. The other implication is that somehow the autocorrect knows that the dude has a micropenis.
I’m not gonna argue over it, its just how I read it.
Hey man, this isn’t Reddit, we’re allowed to have different opinions without needing to enter into gladitorial combat.
I’m certainly open to it being a binary joke, that’s how I read it at first, too. I really had to think how else it could be meant.
I can believe that the Cyanide & Happiness authors would have heard of binary before, I just doubt they would expect the same from their audience. Like, the comic frequently makes penis jokes, it’s decidedly not sophisticated.
As for autocorrect knowing he has a micropenis, well, it is a fictional world, that could be the punchline here.
At the very least, if someone doesn’t know binary, that’s how they would probably read it and get a chuckle out of it, so I guess like someone else replied to me, maybe it’s both jokes.
There are 10 types of people in the world. Those who saw this as a binary joke and those who didn’t.
I saw the binary joke but I feel like it’s about autocorrect knowing the users real size and correcting the 10 into 2.

There 2 types of people in this world. Those who can extrapolate from incomplete data.
I think the punchline would be better if you use the negative instead.
Those who can’t extrapolate from complete data.
Oh shit did I go too negative? I do that sometimes.
You should ask for forgiveness
Yes? Continue…
Is the actual joke that autocorrect inserted factually correct information?
10 is 2 in binary.
Sure, but I doubt that’s the joke the comic was going for…
Its pretty clear they were?
That seems like far too nerdy of a joke for Cyanide & Happiness, and I don’t see why autocorrect would be blamed then…

I guess the reason for 10 turning into 2 is a bit like the case in Pulp Fiction.
Doesn’t matter why, we both realise the joke is he has a small penis.
Good attitude. Enjoy your day, internet brethren

Here you go
Its also 16 in hex and 8 in octal. This is why we have prefixes!
How do I know it isnt hex?
I came to make a similar comment. In this respect, we are 10 peas in a pod.
