Don't know why he's so annoyed, maybe you didn't throw his database, but still something happened, I'm pretty sure...
No, it's just a pretty lame joke that got repeated like five million times.
Unfortunately our community breeds an extremely self-referential, repetitive humour that can get quite annoying. Like that one guy pissing his pants laughing because 42 hahahaha.
Honestly it's pretty rare for this sub to have genuinely good jokes
Most are just really forced jokes based around CS101 concepts shared by college students, most of the rest are the same few jokes told over and over like you said, and only a tiny proportion are genuinely clever programming jokes
While true, this is not limited to this sub/community, it's a problem of the entire IT/tech/nerd bubble. Referencing something that is considered funny, is in itself funny, so the more I reference the funnier I am. It's basically meme culture on steroids - or "turned to 11", if I may drop a sick reference as well.
