Just Not My Type

Description

A dating-scene meme shows a man on the left with his face covered by the red string literal "1" and a woman on the right with her face covered by the blue numeric value 1. A speech bubble above the woman says, "We're so alike... but he's just not my type..." The joke relies on programming type distinctions: the values look equivalent to humans, but a language or strict comparison treats a string and a number as different types.
