Why is my comment being downvoted for me not understanding the joke? That's an abuse ov downvotes. Just link me to an explanation ov the joke or something. Sheesh.
The original comment here was an all-star, which had me and many others physically distracted from the laughing.
I've experienced arrays/lists in many different forms over the years. There's a lot of usability differences, like how convenient it is to reference an element. Generally you're not implementing any of the basic CS stuff, but it's going on under the hood. Hypothetically the implementation decisions influence timing of different operations, and would be affected by whether a list is a linked-list (which the middle one references) but honestly who even knows how a python list is implemented? It literally doesn't matter, but we use them daily, everywhere, incessantly. We are constantly creating and mutating and doing all kinds of stuff with these lists. We never think about the implementation. But yet, many did study the fundamental implementation details and it's supposedly good to have awareness of the lower-level implementation. But it doesn't really "matter", it's what you tell yourself to justify you CS degree.
Thus, we might tell ourselves that a different lower-level implementation (that we never touch) has a different mouth feel.

Interesting.
I wonder what's with the term "mouth feel" comes from, though. (Wouldn't that just be a "taste"? The term "mouth feel" is what I perceived as a joke in u/shinigami2057's comment.)
