Cars have windows. Houses have windows. So it can't be windows that makes the car go.
I swear I don't understand, and he tried to explain it to me. He said it's a double meaning with Windows the operating system but I just don't don't don't get it.
Can anyone make this understandable to me? I may have screwed up the retelling, because honestly I have no idea what the hell's going on with this joke.
I've heard this before, but more in the context of a proverb than a proper joke. As far as meaning, I think it's along the lines of "correlation doesn't equal causation," but not exactly.
Yeh I think if he hadn't called it a "joke" the meaning would come more naturally but then again he explicitly said it's somehow got something to do with the operating system called windows so WTF?
The humor comes from the unexpected final line. It's what's sometimes called an anti-joke, where instead of a punchline the final line is so banal as to be ridiculous, and that unexpected banality is the source of the humor.
I love anti-jokes, but it's hard to enjoy them if you're expecting an anti-joke, which makes looking up anti-jokes really unsatisfying.
I'd say the joke is probably that you are logically deducting something thats already obvious to everyone, portraying logicians as people that are far removed from reality
I saw that used as a parody of how presocratic philosophers sound. It has nothing to do with the OS.
Not necessarly. Maybe the house has something the car does not that is preventing the windows from working.
I am so confused right now. I don't see the joke written down anywhere. The post just links to an AI generated looking image of a woman in a red dress sitting on a red car in front of a building. Is that the joke itself?
AI generated image of a car parked in front of a building. I got the woman for free, because SkyNet.
I think its just a reference to an old shitpost, of which the humor derives from absurdity.
All I get is that if two things have the same feature and one moves but the other doesn't, then what causes the movement isn't that feature.
Here I guess it means Windows isn't the reason anything moves forward, aka progress, but if there is more meaning to it I'm not getting it
Does he by any chance use Linux? 😂 Sounds like a Linux joke about Windows.
Oh, just saw the text of your post. So maybe it's a reference to the car's computer not running on windows? I mean, they probably could.
