what the hell does this even mean lol

PHP and WordPress are fucking

I think the joke is php is getting a handful of boob or something?

Wordpress is not representative of PHP as a language.

PHP 8.3 was released on 23 November 2023. The current version of PHP is PHP 8.4 and was released on 21 November 2024. Wordpress formally started to support PHP 8.3 this month, and PHP 8.4 isn't formally supported yet.
Wordpress can't use any PHP features from PHP 7.3 or higher, because they still want to be compatible with PHP 7.2, which was released on 30 November 2017 and went End of life on 30 November 2020
Wordpress 6.5 was still compatible with PHP 7.0
Wordpress 6.3 was still compatible with PHP 5.6
