We’re are joking here, but -
If I filled a bar with veteran web developers, and I loudly said,
“no deserves to die for their browser failing the ACID2 test!”
I expect the room would go silent while everyone stared pointedly at their drink glass.
what is this drunk font?
Nowadays, I can’t tell apart AI memes from MS paint memes
Have you used IE? This correlation checks out.
Well the causality is obvious here.
Murder causes people to use internet explorer 😞
Well it’s obvious the users of other browsers doing the murdering.
And that kids is why it’s wrong to murder.
There was a murderer who killed IE users.
A 70% murder rate sounds accurate for the US
Yeah lol, damn, 70% of the US population was apparently murdered in 2006, label your axes kids, especially when you’re dual-wielding!
On the other hand, autism went up. So, RFK Jr., which is it? Tylenol or using the wrong browser? Or are we just not murdering enough these days? Does Tylenol prevent murder? Shit, does autism cause Tylenol?
Remember, circumcision also causes autism.
Not using Internet Explorer causes circumcision? This just gets worse and worse. Pass the Tylenol. No, wait…
So Google Chrome causes autism?
2011 is only 14 years ago
You know there was at least one case where someone was pushed over the edge by IE freezing on them.
and if you extend the graph to before 2006? ;)
100% murder rate
Netscape lowered teen pregnancy rates
A nonsensical, but exquisitely tweaked statistic 😚👌
Note how 75% => 45% correlates to 17,500 => 15,000.
I use to work in an seo / Web dev shop. I always dreamt of creating a CSS helper tool that automatically fixed the IE issues
I was going to name it ieBitchSlap.
I moved on but regretted not following through. Although it would have been quite awkward when they took over GitHub.
I remember having to write so much bullshit code to make it look right on IE. I think by 2018, I got fed up with it and put it in my contract that I don’t code for IE. And to my surprise, most companies were like, “Yeah we don’t give a fuck about those users either.” Either their metrics showed that IE users weren’t buying, or they were a small segment not worth supporting.
And I never looked back.
Cursed Y-axis
Who can forget 2006, when >70% of Americans were murdered?
Was that during the period Bill Gates was still married, but enjoying plane flights with other billionaires?
See, not too many people remember the time before Internet Explorer, but “murder” wasn’t a word back then. Not even a concept.
Now do American mass shooting rate and Linux market share.
Both require a history of significant lead exposure to justify using.
