      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.

      Is the actual joke that autocorrect inserted factually correct information?

          Sure, but I doubt that’s the joke the comic was going for…

              That seems like far too nerdy of a joke for Cyanide & Happiness, and I don’t see why autocorrect would be blamed then…

                “Far too nerdy”?

                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.
