I read the title twice...and became suspicious...But I admit it...the Bee almost stung me.

LOL I get the Bee’s daily emails and I damn near posted this one earlier. So I’m glad you did, thanks!

I have a co-worker who is very much woke, nice guy otherwise, great engineer, but we love messing with him. We were starting a conference call some months ago and all going around introducing ourselves, and he said, "Hi everybody, I'm Joe Baggadonuts,
he/him,..." and you could hear the muffled snickers.
In another context I triggered him a little by introducing myself as "Dayglored, His Majesty/Exalted Leader", but he's a good sport and laughed.

very funny but code isn’t binary just the bits at the bottom.

Hexadecimal was way too kinky for me.

He has a problem with binary, wait until he sees hexadecimal. LOL

I signed up for Babylon Bee emails and they are hilarious.
The good thing is that with a few lines, they can brighten your day.
The scary part is satire is so close to the actual daily craziness we witness constantly.
When you can't tell fact from satire the world is spinning out of control.

Code is not inherently binary. Our modern computer systems use binary-mode calculations almost exclusively. This was not always the case. For example, there have been computers that use decimal calculations. The IBM System/360 et al had decimal operations as part of its instruction set. The IBM 1620 went further: the computer nicknamed "The CADET -- Can't Add, Doesn't Even Try" didn't calculate, it exclusively used table lookup for its operations, which means that mathematicians could do calculations in a variety of base notations -- I knew one PhD who explored calculations in base seven.
Further, the underlying electronics did not have to be two-state, or "binary". Some research computer were built that used trinary, or three-state, circuits: 0, 1, and 2; or in the basic theory -1, 0, 1. Not very useful, as it turns out.
Calculating machines (pre-electronics) in wide use even today do their calculations in base 10. You see this in handle-powered adding machines even today, although these tend to be hard to find in any store.

There are 10 kinds of people. 1 that knows binary, and 1 that doesn’t.
