So i kinda went on a thought rabbit hole here

  1. I like jokes like this, in part because they only work in written form. Because if they were using base 10 they'd say "You're a ten", but base 2 would be "You're a one zero" (or one oh)

  2. Wait, do people actually say "ten" when expressing two in binary? Do they actually say "one, ten, eleven, one hundred, one hundred and one, one hundred and ten…"?

  3. Have I been expressing binary incorrectly?

  4. Am I overthinking this?

  5. Honestly though, my favorite written pun is "Religions are more interested in profits than prophets"

Anyway, puns are fun. How do you say binary numbers?

Probably overthinking it (i hope). I usually say each binary digit individually, e.g. "one zero" for 10. Just makes more sense to me at least.

About this community and how I post the comics… Many moons ago, I would ask my Dad to save the newspaper for me everyday so I could read my favorite comic strips. Of course these days you can read your favorite comics online instead of a newspaper, but I love the nostalgia of reading the daily comics. Anyway, one of my favorite current comics is Cyanide and Happiness and I will be posting the daily release from their website (https://explosm.net/) and a an extra or two randoms.
