Why was the comment that said "Don't format a floppy at the same time" funny when talking about threads and processes?

I was reading up the difference between Thread and Processes and came across the comment left by users in the second answer which stated

As so long as you don't format a floppy at the same time.

It has 27 upvotes but no one has explained the reason behind it .

I would like to know what the commentor means when he said the above comment ??

Can someone suggest a more meaningful question name which reflects what the question is asking
