It's an old, bad, joke on the two definitions of revolting.

I think it would’ve been funny if the title was “StackOverflow contributors are revolting” and the comment was “a little more than usual.”

But hey, gotta get whatever amount of humor in while you can.

The most revolting smell was coming from the drains.

Looks like downvoters don't get the joke. I first seen it on the cover of Horrible History.
