What Do You Mean It's Unsafe

Oh honey, someone just discovered the ancient art of returning uninitialized variables and thought they invented a NEW random number generator! The top panel shows someone actually doing their due diligence with proper C++ random generation—random_device, mt19937, uniform distribution, the whole nine yards. It's like following a recipe with actual measurements.

But then the bottom panel? *Chef's kiss* of chaos! Just declare an int, don't initialize it, and return whatever garbage value happens to be sitting in that memory location. It's not a bug, it's a FEATURE called "undefined behavior"—the spiciest kind of randomness where your program might return 42, might return 2847362, or might summon a demon from the void. Truly random! Truly terrifying! Truly the kind of code that makes senior devs weep into their keyboards.

Fun fact: This is exactly why Rust developers never shut up about memory safety. They've seen things. Horrible, uninitialized things.
