Why can „Bank“ be a 🏦 or a 🛋️? It’s a common feature of many languages that words can have multiple meanings. It’s called Teekesselchen in German, which is funny because Teekesselchen is a Teekesselchen itself: It can either mean „small tea kettle“ or „word with more than one meaning“.
But more importantly, why is there no emoticon for bench? I had to use a couch instead.

Yep. Unicode has lots of useless smileys but is missing some important ones. And some often used (like facepalm) are in hard-to-decipher realistic style instead of the usual round face.
Yes, it’s cut down for the meme.
In reality, it would probably look more like this:
public class Singleton { private static readonly Lazy<Singleton> lazy = new Lazy<Singleton>(() => new Singleton()); private Singleton(){} public static Singleton Instance { get { return lazy.Value; } } }
or this:
public class Singleton { private static readonly Singleton instance = new Singleton(); private Singleton(){} public static Singleton Instance => instance; }
Second is more readable.
Btw lazy; why can “second” be “zweite” or “Sekunde” depending on context??

And thanks for the explanation.
Yup, that’s correct.
