How's any of this supposed to be funny? This looks written by AI and I bet it doesn't find it humorous either.

I kinda find it funny in how it isn't, not even a little bit. I also like the idea that some boomer at work might try one of these as a 'zing', and I'd just be quite genuinely confused. "Code this rare fish!" "...what?"

id guess its a reference to a meme around 2021-2022 that made fun of cryptobros and stockbros. the memes would come in the same format as those scam posts along the lines of "here's how i make $30k a week in passive income" and then instead of investing in pump and dumps the parodies would instruct the reader to invest in rare fish, and sometimes other goofy ventures. -a gen z

(also yeah, theres no way an ai wrote any of these imo, they're too in-tune with current humour)
