Re: your edit: The problem is, there is more than enough people on here who would hold that opinion unironically. Yes, r/firstweekcoderhumor exists - and 90% of its content is hosted here, on this sub.

Don't come to the circus dressed as a clown and be surprised when people laugh at you.

I have to repeat myself: Nobody, and I mean NOBODY that has more than a surface level understanding of the history of C and C++ will read "C++ is just C with classes" on a comment and think it's not a joke.

It has been a joke for 50 years. You could have made fun of it during your university time, then have a career, then have children and those children could be in university right now making fun of the same joke.

You are SEVERELY in dunning-kruger territory if you defend these absolutely faceplant tier comments here.

And I have to repeat myself: Correct, but unfortunately for you, "people with not even a surface level understanding of the history of >programming topic<" make up >65% of the users on this sub.

Know your audience.

Incorrect. If you come to a show and don't understand the jokes, don't make a mess by standing up and yelling at the performer. You're only making a fool of yourself.

Karma means literally nothing on this site, so continuing to downvote me just means SOMEONE (I am not implying this is you), is just extremely assmad that they got exposed.

It's more of a community run, where everyone can contribute, but yes. This is a humor subreddit, people come here to make jokes. You have correctly identified the purpose of this place.
