I think they are also riffing off the spinal tap scene, where he says "can't you just make 10 louder?".
I was mainly doing that, and more-obliquely making use of math/CS dork jokes like "1 + 1 = 3, for large values of 1".
I think that's what your comment parent is referencing as well
Looked like they missed that their parent post was already doing that. As another poster points out: wooosh!
Can’t you just make the first post say “whoosh”, and have that be the post?
Haha. But this post is one more :)
whoosh
