6 in 10 Americans believe any old nonsense as long as you present it with confidence.
- 73% of numerical statistics go unverified
  
  If you put a decimal in your statistic, it becomes 82.6% more believable.
- I don't believe you because the end of your sentence wasn't emphatic enough. Period. Mic drop.
And 8 in 10 Americans think HTML is a programming language.
- And 5 in 10 Americans think you can parse it with regular expressions.
  
  You can parse anything with regex, if you’re willing to give up your soul for it.
  
  I mean...
  
  †hê þðñ¥, hê ¢ðmê§
- I will die on the hill that HTML should be treated like a programming language.
  
  The hyper text markup language programming language?
  
  I absolutely agree, and luckily I think it mostly is treated as a programming language. It's just a technicality that makes for a great joke.
- https://html-lang.org/
  I mean, technically it’s the other 2 out of 10 that are wrong…🙃
  HTML, the programming language, is a practical, turing-complete[1], stack-based programming language based on HTML, the markup language. It uses elements defined in HTML, the markup language, in order to do computations.
  
  Your scientists were so preoccupied with whether or not they could, they didn’t stop to think if they should!
  
  https://html-lang.org/
  Yo, dawg, I heard you like HTML, so I put HTML in your HTML so you could HTML while you HTML
- They're wrong too, although less-so.
  Also, what about that last American?
  
  The last one knows it's not a programming language and is annoyingly vocal about it.
  
  The last American knows it's a markup language.
- Boomer programmer humor
- Ever heard of HTMX?
I want this book
- Anyone know the title?
  
  Plz mention me if anyone finds the title. I need it
  
  See that thread.
- See that thread.
  
  What thread?
USA > USB
- I disagree. USB is superior.
  If you are talking about physical size however, then yeah. USA is bigger than a single USB.
  
  Which is larger though, USA or all the USBs in the world?
I'm gonna have to start vetting my partners better, I don't want to catch Webdev.
It's cool. Those with HTML are likely never to have sex anyway.
- No, it's a serially transmitted disease
  
  Could we define it as spreading through memetic means?
Close: JS is a disease.
Hyper Tetanus Menstrual Lipomas
- Band name.
Who had sex with my website
- It was me!
Oh I get it, it’s programmer humor because HTML was mentioned.
- I thought it was because STDS were?
  
  I think most programmers are safe from STDs.
Cue the Republicans trying to ban HTML from our Internet to protect the kids. Yeah, you do that...
The disease part is too real
2 out of 10 Americans believe anything off a screenshot.
- 7/10 Americans think a photo and a screenshot are the same thing.
How To Meet Ladies.
At least sometimes it's a viral disease
1 in 10 Americans think rust is a good thing.
My DNA is a sexually transmitted disease
I mean, isn't it?
- My kid is learning HTML so… maybe?
Dang, 50% is a lot.
