While you're out there scoping out the network, get a good picture of the rack. (lemmy.ca)

Nude Calendars are still a thing? I would have thought, in the age of the internet, they would have gone the way of buggy whips.

I'm amazed that calendars are still a thing at all.

One of my neighbors has one. The neighborhood boys all run past it to play with his son, but while they've mentioned it I didn't think they appreciate it yet!

I didn't even notice until I saw this comment.

Jokes on you, that switch has numerous vulnerabilities, literally only thing saving you is that I rather look at your calendar 😍😍😍.

Honestly, I didn't even notice the calendar, I looked at the photo first and saw the network rack in detail.

I agree.

And why is this here? Nothing about the picture is funny. The pun in the title is the kind of thing you'd hear coming from the creep in the office who thinks he's funny but is actually the opposite of funny.

I'm guessing that you're not aware that the metal cabinet on the wall with the door on it is called a "network rack" (in this case a 6U rack but that isn't needed info for the joke).

The pun in the title is the kind of thing you’d hear coming from the creep in the office who thinks he’s funny but is actually the opposite of funny.

So part of humor is subverting expectations. The punchline in the title (not a pun BTW, a pun would be different word that sounds the same) would be exactly what you thought, a crude joke referring to women's breasts, however when you open the picture, you're greeted with a network rack..ha ha (expectations subverted), but upon closer inspection there is indeed a picture of a woman's breasts and the original crude punchline is the indeed what is meant, (expectations subverted again). So the humor isn't the crude joke, but that you thought it was the crude joke, then it wasn't, then it was again. That's humorous except when you have to explain it to someone.

I'm more of a 12U guy myself.
