Hello fellow Cyanide and Happiness fans!
About this community and how I post the comics… Many moons ago, I would ask my Dad to save the newspaper for me everyday so I could read my favorite comic strips. Of course these days you can read your favorite comics online instead of a newspaper, but I love the nostalgia of reading the daily comics. Anyway, one of my favorite current comics is Cyanide and Happiness and I will be posting the daily release from their website (https://explosm.net/) and a an extra or two randoms.
Cyanide & Happiness (C&H) is a webcomic created by Rob DenBleyker, Kris Wilson, Dave McElfatrick and Matt Melvin. The comic has been running since 2005 and is published on the website explosm.net along with animated shorts in the same style. Matt Melvin left C&H in 2014, and several other people have contributed to the comic and to the animated shorts… Read more: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cyanide_%26_Happiness

10 is 2 in binary.
Sure, but I doubt that's the joke the comic was going for...
Its pretty clear they were?
That seems like far too nerdy of a joke for Cyanide & Happiness, and I don't see why autocorrect would be blamed then...
"Far too nerdy"?
They're millenials my age who have been actively making web content since 2005. They definitely know that 10 is binary for 2.
Because it's correcting something?
Using binary in normally discussion would be weird. So autocorrect corrects it. The other implication is that somehow the autocorrect knows that the dude has a micropenis.
I'm not gonna argue over it, its just how I read it.
Hey man, this isn't Reddit, we're allowed to have different opinions without needing to enter into gladitorial combat.
I'm certainly open to it being a binary joke, that's how I read it at first, too. I really had to think how else it could be meant.
I can believe that the Cyanide & Happiness authors would have heard of binary before, I just doubt they would expect the same from their audience. Like, the comic frequently makes penis jokes, it's decidedly not sophisticated.
As for autocorrect knowing he has a micropenis, well, it is a fictional world, that could be the punchline here.
At the very least, if someone doesn't know binary, that's how they would probably read it and get a chuckle out of it, so I guess like someone else replied to me, maybe it's both jokes.
I guess the reason for 10 turning into 2 is a bit like the case in Pulp Fiction.
Doesn't matter why, we both realise the joke is he has a small penis.
Good attitude. Enjoy your day, internet brethren

Its also 16 in hex and 8 in octal. This is why we have prefixes!
