dank memes

Rules:

  1. All posts must be memes and follow a general meme setup.

  2. No unedited webcomics.

  3. Someone saying something funny or cringe on twitter/tumblr/reddit/etc. is not a meme. Post that stuff in /c/slop

  4. Va*sh posting is haram and will be removed.

  5. Follow the code of conduct.

  6. Tag OC at the end of your title and we'll probably pin it for a while if we see it.

  7. Recent reposts might be removed.

  8. Tagging OC with the hexbear watermark is praxis.

  9. No anti-natalism memes. See: Eco-fascism Primer

When did this become binary?

[–] Shinhoshi@lemmygrad.ml 16 points 2 years ago

If I had to guess, I think it started probably around the late 1930s, when the binary number system started to be used in mechanical computers.

Of course, it finished today when the binary data for OP’s image was loaded on your phone, displayed, and you interpreted it.
