Uber == Nazi Germany

That's why you need to use ===
Fuck me. What does that stand for? I know =,==, but not ===
It's strict equality in JavaScript.

    17 == "17"  // TRUE
    17 === "17" // FALSE
Heh, just looking at the code rather than the text, my first thought was "type error".

JavaScript. Wat? https://www.destroyallsoftware.com/talks/wat

Despite the comment you replied to having no substance, I honestly wonder if people associate Uber with German and German with something negative.
Thats a funny point.
It's not just that "Uber" is a German word, but that it's a word associated with Nazis (via "Deutschland über Alles"). Another association is the Ubermensch:

> The term Übermensch was used frequently by Hitler and the Nazi regime to describe their idea of a biologically superior Aryan or Germanic master race;

When I first heard of Uber, it's what I immediately thought of.
