You can tell this is AI because there are girls there
I see we are also telling jokes from 2003.
Let me tell you about chuck Norris...
I'm afraid he already beat you to it, he said you'd tell me the joke and what the punchline was.
And 1993. And 2013. And 2023.
Nah "there's no girls on the internet" jokes in 2023 (or current year) are kind of cringe, and the only people I hear say jokes like that (even ironically) are in their 40s. Lemmy skews older, so I can see why we'd find that funny.
It's not "on the internet" it's "on LAN parties". Way under 10% of participants are women, sometimes 0%.
If we're going to be pedantic, it's "at LAN parties".
And our experiences are very different. I went to a lot of LANs in the 2000s with my parents where there were many women participants. Not quite 50/50, but a sizeable percentage. 0% women at a LAN sounds like a culture issue to me.
