I don't see how the vacuously true statement 0 != 1 has any relevance here.

First, "make it 0!" - * Number *! As a "surprise factorial" (as seen in comments in this very thread making this exact joke) is a common joke in threads like this and that was the only connection I could make for this meme, having no previously knowledge of binary quirks.

Second, I don't know if you were trying to be a dick or you're just some overly wordy ass clown high on your own farts, but how on earth is me explaining what I thought a joke meant, showing why it didn't work, and then asking for help to understand it vacuous?

I assumed that you understood that the original joke was about having 0 wishes.

I also assumed that you were making a joke about factorials.

I decided to make my own joke about "!=" in your joke being misinterpreted as the programming symbol for "not equal".

My statement should be read as "0 is not equal to 1". This is a vacuously true statement, as it does not rely rely on any input, and is always true.
