What a weird title, you can say it's ACID but it's not a database

You’re right, we should ban jokes that aren’t 100% correct!


Sorry if you feel my words mean. I'm not criticizing the joke, I just think it could make a better title, even for a joke, by adding quotes around "database" or calling it a "storage service," since it does allow data to be read. A good joke is both entertaining and difficult to deny.
