I feel like the author is being unnecessarily silly. The ancient ruined architecture could be PowerPC

Yes if you remove all frivolity I'm sure the joke will be funnier

Ah but you see, in the first sentence I was only pretending to be dismissive of the joke, because my comment had a second sentence (gasp), where I expanded upon the original joke with another observation of a particularly failed CPU architecture.

It is funny because I used verbal misdirection and a relevant reference from inside the community. And now it gets objectively funnier in my second comment when you make me explain it.
