The triune brain was a once popular model of the evolution of the vertebrate forebrain and behavior, proposed by the American physician and neuroscientist Paul D. MacLean in the 1960s. The triune brain consists of the reptilian complex (basal ganglia), the paleomammalian complex (limbic system), and the neomammalian complex (neocortex), viewed each as independently conscious, and as structures sequentially added to the forebrain in the course of evolution.
This is where the “lizard brain” jokes come from, as far as I understand.

Python applies for a comedy award.
With the introduction of PyPI (née Cheeseshop), setuptools, and later pip, it became simple and straightforward to download and install packages.
Python packages are a convoluted venv hell to install. I need therapy every time I’ve installed or upgraded a Python package.

I’m not sure exactly when I started putting jokes in my scientific presentations, but I know why I started. I also know when and why I stopped.
