    In case you are serious: It’s probably not.
    When you’re not careful with parallel processing / multithreading, you can run into something called a “race condition”, where results of parallel computations end up in the wrong order because some were finished faster than others.
    The joke here is that whoever “programmed” this commic is bad at parallel progmming and got the bubbles in the wrong order because of that.
    The image makes perfect sense if you read it in the order 3, 1, 2.

      OH!

      I was assuming the joke was that 1 and 3 got swapped around. Because it doesn’t really make sense for 2 to be mixed up, considering it’s from a different person entirely…

      Which meant that the joke just made no sense, because swapping 1 and 3 is just as nonsense as the original order.
