Integers Are a Social Construct

"2" == 2 true "2" === 2 false "2" ==== 2 what are numbers "2" ===== 2 INTEGERS ARE A SOCIAL CONSTRUCT "2" ====== 2 ok fine

A JavaScript console shows increasingly absurd comparisons between the string "2" and the number 2, ending with the declaration that integers are a social construct. The joke mocks JavaScript’s equality operators and the confusion caused by type coercion, making it useful as a reaction to programming logic that feels arbitrary.
