I have a theory about domain specific jokes. I think they are only funny to novices because everything is still novel to them. I'm not an animator but I am a programmer, and I can see plainly that like 97% of programming memes display some fundamental misunderstanding of core concepts or just generally really trivial shit.

It's like someone who just learned about multiplication posting "when the 6 x 5 = 35 🫨🤯"
