An example of how coding can break your computer with falsities.

Coding was a term made up some time in the past to replace its bulkier and more annoying predecessor 'breaking the computer'. Used by such villains as Microsoft, Linus Torvalds, and Hitler, coding works specifically to overclock, overheat, and sodomize your BIOS by cluttering it with useless 'programs' and 'operating systems'. Since it is common knowledge that only complete wusses use such things (real men prefering to work directly in binary), very few important people are affected.

Before coding was invented, strange bits of paper containing magic spells were used. These wizardly artifacts were inserted directly into the computer to give it instructions via telepathy. 'Punch cards', as they were known, were far more reliable than coding - due to their complicated nature prohibiting idiots, and restriction to straight white men. However, today, since any moron can pick up a compiler and mash keys until they create their own personal abomination, it is no great feat to foresee an end of the world brought about by a flood of shitty applications.
