        I would guess that B is the “correct” answer because it shows you’re old enough to know a sex joke when you read one.

    I like: how many Germans does it take to screw in a light bulb?

    One. They are very efficient, but not very funny.

    It makes me think about how many country artists it takes to change a light bulb…

    Six. One to change the bulb while the other five sing about how good the old one was.

        Was from an order on LTT’s store.
        But this was from an older sticker release wave :/

        Best case: You order your own sticker sheet of holographic foil stickers.

    The real answer is management needs atleast 3-5 meetings to first discuss this with 10 developers 10 upstream developers 10 downstreams developers and business team for all. And after we spent 2-4 weeks of all this a lone developer who’s been saying we just screw it in gets the approval to do exactly that

    My favourite light bulb joke is:

    How many Morriseys does it take to change a light bulb? None, because there is a light and it never goes out.

    Every other light bulb joke i hear, the number is arbitrary - it could be 10/100/1000 with no loss to the joke. But “none” and for that reason is the only possible correct answer to that joke.

      How many Grateful Dead fans does it take to screw in a light bulb?

      None. They’ll just wait for it to burn out and then follow it around for 40 years.

      How many programmers does it take to screw in a light bulb?

      a. None, it’s a hardware problem.

      b. None, programmers can’t fit in light bulbs.

      c. 100. One to hold the bulb and 99 to debug the house.

      d. None so far, but they’ll get to it Real Soon Now.

      All answers are correct.

    Possible plot twist: there is no correct answer and to pass this age check you should skip this one.

      It’s actually the opposite (this one is only there for entertainment so all the answers are counted as correct), but good guess! 😁

    How many IT security people does it take to screw in a light bulb? 50 to Palm the work off on the service desk and another 250 to block service desks access to be able to screw in the light bulb.

    Another few hundred to make it seem like the original IT security were actually useful… IT support get are still at the same amount of people… They do the work and they get the blame.

    Might be obvious, IT security at my company have no fucking idea what they’re doing and just making random shit up to keep their jobs alive.

    I now have to do IT support with one hand tied behind my back…

      Which is unnecessary for this particular one, since it’s one of the ones where all of the answers are considered correct 😁

          They did on plenty of the other questions, but I for one am happy that they failed as I loved the game as a 7yo 😄

    I remember having a lot of trouble with those questions - not so much because I was underage, but because I didn’t grow up with US pop culture and sports.
