When I read things like this, I am suddenly very glad the language I use in my everyday life has very different words “Dattel” (the fruit), “Datum” (point on a calendar) and “Verabredung” (romantic meeting, though we also use the anglicism “Date” for this - and ONLY for this).
English is just a stupid language…
Not the first joke about this: https://www.reddit.com/r/Venn/comments/pb3k85/excel_incel_and_me_eating_a_fig/

Probably every language has homonyms.
Of course, this was in part joking, there are other similar jokes in German too…
