    Why comment here at all

    Because we’re programmers, and programmers are infamous for being rules-/logic-driven.

    If, as a comment below suggests, the joke is that it’s meant to be read in order 3, 1, 2, that violates the rule that race conditions typically don’t cause an entirely different program to produce the output. So if the joke is meant to be “lol we have a race condition”, bubbles should be mixed up for one person, not mixed between people.

    People don’t get the joke because the joke violates its own internal rules.

      I don’t see OP explaining it anywhere.

      It’s just threads running out of order.

      Why are you all overengineering the joke this much?

        Why are you all overengineering the joke this much?

        Because I’m literally an engineer?

        Honestly, this isn’t me artificially coming in and doing something weird. It’s just me trying to explain how my brain naturally interpreted it. It never occurred to me to include the left guy’s speech bubble in the race condition until I saw someone else’s comment explaining it.
