The Time Traveler Fixes JSON Comments

Text on the meme

The time traveler had started with something so small it couldn’t possibly hurt anything: the spelling of the name of some fictional bears. The timeline held. Next, they tampered with some movies. Still no butterfly effect, so far so good. Now it was time to alter something important, something worthwhile. Something that would improve the world. The traveler nervously approaches someone in the present after emerging from the machine. “Tell me... does json support comments?”

What it means

A time traveler carefully makes increasingly important changes to history, eventually asking whether JSON supports comments. The punchline is that JSON famously does not support comments, framing this minor technical limitation as a world-changing alteration and parodying time-travel stories about the butterfly effect.
