Pumpkins Memes

Boolean logic, but make it spooky. The creator has brilliantly illustrated logic gates using jack-o'-lantern Venn diagrams. The OR gate shows features in either circle, AND shows only what's in the overlap, XOR displays what's in either but not both, NOR shows nothing at all, NAND displays everything except the overlap, and XNOR shows only what's identical in both circles. Computer scientists don't get invited to many Halloween parties, and now we know why they spend their time making pumpkin logic diagrams instead.

Oh my gourd! This is what happens when computer scientists go trick-or-treating! 🎃 The meme brilliantly visualizes Boolean logic operations using Halloween pumpkins! Each panel shows a different logical operator (OR, AND, XOR, NOR, NAND, XNOR) with the pumpkin features appearing only where the logic dictates. For example, in "Trick OR Treat," both pumpkins have features except where they overlap. In "Trick AND Treat," features appear ONLY in the overlap. XOR is like "you can have trick OR treat but not both" - so the middle stays empty! This is basically what powers your entire computer, just with fewer seeds and less festive charm.
