I didn’t write the following, but I do find it amusing. (I don’t know who wrote it.) Yes, it’s based on stereotypes, but there are some “gee, that kinda rings true” statements. And, yes, it’s not very of-our-time; I mean, are all computers necessarily cisgender? Well, apparently, yes. I checked and it turns out all computers use “binary code” (rim shot). For now, at least. ~Mitch
Is your computer male or female? Ships are characterized as female (“Steady as she goes”). What about computers? A group of computer scientists—both male and female—were asked. And they gave these hilarious conflicting replies.
Computers are Female (according to Males) – How You Can Tell:
-
No one but their Creator understands their internal logic.
-
The language they use to communicate with other computers is incomprehensible to anyone else.
-
“Bad command or file name” translates to “If you don’t know why I’m mad at you, then I’m certainly not going to tell you.”
-
Even your smallest mistakes are stored in long-term memory for later retrieval.
-
You can do the same thing for years, and then suddenly it’s wrong.
-
They make you take out the garbage.
-
As soon as you make a commitment to one, you never stop buying it accessories.
Computers are Male (according to Females) – How You Can Tell:
-
They have a lot of data, but are still clueless.
-
They’re supposed to help you solve problems, but half the time they are the problem.
-
A better model is always just around the corner.
-
They look nice and shiny until you bring them home.
-
It’s always necessary to have a backup.
-
In order to get their attention, you have to turn them on.
-
They’ll do whatever you say if you push the right buttons.
And now…they’re learning to procreate! eeeeee jola!
🤣, but such wisdom and clarity of thought among the giggles. I guess the assumption is that my non-binary friends can claim all of these points of view.
Mine is definitely male! I think AI programs are definitely possessed by satan though!
I agree with that 100%
Funny. Actually a few years ago i thought non-binary are people who dont use dating apps.
🤣🤣🤣
After years of software updates, I think computers have evolved beyond gender. They now identify as “Please restart and try again.”
That’s my comment every time my husband starts fussing at anything electronic: have you tried turning it off and turning it on again?!
I’ve found that restarting fixes electronics, and occasionally improves human performance too. 😄
;>)
I think mine is a male from a certain denomination that shall remain nameless. I can try something ten times and it ignores me, but my husband can do the exact same thing once, and suddenly it pays attention. ):-(
;>) Pretty sure I know the denomination whereof you speak, Annie.
I affectionately and also to be able to argue when we disagree call my desktop PC Hank. Usually Hank is a good guy,
I’d add my computer is male because it’ll do what it wants, when it wants regardless of what I need done.
;>)
This is very funny, Mitch. Computers are clearly male. 😉
Okay, I laughed more than I expected at this. The “bad command or file name” line and “a better model is always just around the corner” were dangerously accurate. Also, “you have to push the right buttons” may explain a few things in life beyond computers.
And the binary code joke at the beginning deserved at least one reluctant chuckle. Thanks for the laugh!
My pleasure, Step!
I got some good laughs 😂🤣 out of this one; thanks, Mitch!
My pleasure, Keith!
LOL. You reminded me of this: There are only 10 kinds of people – those who can read binary and those that can’t.
;>)
love it
Haha! Good points in favor of male or female. My computer is female because it takes so long to boot up, but she has no fashion sense. 🙂
;>) So, she’s a computer nerd.
🤣
If male, it should have been named not Computer but ComPeter
Thanks for today’s chuckle, Mitch!
My pleasure, Terry!
Ha ha ha! This is great, Mitch! My computer acts as both at times, lol!🥰😂
;>)
“Even your smallest mistakes are stored in long-term memory for later retrieval.”
This is too funny. Very clever post!
Interesting outlook.
Haha 😂
As one retired from I. T. I can appreciate all the comments. From repairing PC’s to network problems the most common problem was an ID 10T occurrence.🤔

Thanks for sharing this Mitch, gave me a good chuckle 🤭
My pleasure, Manu.

A light, humorous introduction that sets up a shared piece of content, acknowledging its playful tone and stereotypical humor while inviting readers to enjoy it with a relaxed perspective. 😄✨
Thank you, Safia.
Mitch, both sides have points.
Whatever mood hits at the problem: U bitch!
Or, no disrespect to Mr. Teemley :-): What the F**K man!
Indeed with the mouth we give praise and curse.
Have yourself a wonderful weekend.
You too, Bernadette.
That is hilarious, Mitch! 😂
;>)
Mitch, classics, all…but this one really resonated: “You can do the same thing for years, and then suddenly it’s wrong.” 😂🤷♂️👌
;>)
Hilarious 😂
