there's integer overflow and integer underflow. when you have an 8-bit signed integer variable: signed char x = 127 and you try to increment it by 1: signed char y = x + 1 and then you print y: `printf("%d\n", int(y))", it will print -128. the reason is integer overflow, kinda like when you add 1 to 999, you get 1000. but if the variable can only store 3 digits, you get 000 instead, which is 0. the computer interprets that as a negative value though because of offset etc.
the same works in reverse. -999 - 1 = -1000 which gets interpreted as -000 which gets interpreted as a positive number then.
Hah for some reason I thought it was arithmetic underflow but given that the original joke was integer overflow and not arithmetic overflow it makes more sense for it to be integer underflow too. And I agree fits better.

gandalf_der_12te@lemmy.blahaj.zone · 1 pts · 7d
more like sub underflow?

"so much of a sub that you dom" reminded me of integer overflow but sure why not (though don't really understand it...)

Sorry, your government mandated dom is on sick leave atm. The daily wall-pinnings and weekly bondage will resume past this Wednesday

Actual switch here - I love both domming and subbing and want to experience all the things.

That depends who you're asking, me or my tulpa (submissive top and power bottom).

Past experiences mean I won’t sub, but I’ll dom to please, I accept that’s a sub subtype
