Dad jokes in MongoDB shell

• 

  that's what copilot generated

Inspiration

Back in 2020 I was adding support of ARRAY data type for database called SingleStore (fka MemSQL) and I thought to myself - we need a MEME data type support to store, query and ensemble queries with memes. Didn't do this till 2026 (when I saw stand on Socratica) and understood that idea needs some upgrade to the time. Currently in db community it's very popular to have text to query AI usage where you describe your query in natural language language and you get your DB query from AI. but who needs it for real? what you actually is some lame jokes about your data :)
