To fill you in on the joke if you did not get it… the green tiles appear to be similar to a GitHub user’s contribution history. See this page for an example: https://github.com/torvalds

Using the activity for anything more than entertainment is folly.
Only 60% of companies I work for use GitHub. Some of us create new users that are only for our employers.
Yet companies still use it for hiring purposes.
Thank you for your service

Sure, but I really like to look at this when I'm deciding on wether an open source project is worth to use, if you can see that the author is relatively active.
A user’s activity on the Microsoft GitHub social media network/code forge is not a good indicator of a user’s activity in open source. There are gobs of free alternative forges, self-hosting, mailing lists, committing under different accounts. It’s as grain-of-salt worthy as how my ‘stars’ a project has for code quality.
That shower is definitely just boosting their stats for their resume.
Nah my shower is just defragmenting my hard drive.
Remember the super important maintenance things you learned by hard? This is them now. Feel old yet?
I don't get it...
The squares are the timeline of activity
Oh right, I was stupid, I see it now.
It took me a moment as well
I'm curious. I've seen this exact type of shower (including the taps) only in Australia so far. Is it a common type in other countries too?
If you're referring to the overhead style showerhead, personally I've seen them in the UK (no idea if it's the norm, but it's what I had access to) and a few times in the US, though it's definitely not the norm there.

I don't understand... Where should the water come from? Below? From the sides?
I think he means that it's permanently mounted there, unlike the ones you can take off the wall and move around.
The shower head in the picture is a bit unusual because of the two screws on the right where you can adjust the head. If you loosen the one next to the wall the shower head tilts down and faces the wall (which is nice if warm water takes a while and you don't like a cold shower) and with the other one you could make it spray the opposite wall. So it's pretty versatile. (Or annoying if the screws can't be tightened enough)
Definitely Aussie. Never seen it in the UK or South East Asia. Can’t speak for anywhere else
That sjower looks photoshopped
Rust 100%
wow, good joke
