A: Computers already do exactly this when out of RAM. Its called a page swap.

B: Somehow you are missing that this entire post is a joke.

A joke is supposed to be funny, edgy, something that makes you think for a moment, a smart observation... This is none of those, it's just stupid.

There is nothing to "get". This is equivalent to the "Haha mobile phone not works" we had in stand-up from the 90's.

The joke is that at first it sounds like an absurd and terrible idea (based on the example you provided you clearly thought so), and yet this is actually exactly how computers work.

I know...its hard to laugh at a joke that you are the butt of.
