When Does This Will End

Behold, the eternal struggle of Sisyphus, but make it recursion! Someone wrote a factorial function with absolutely ZERO base case, which means it's literally calling itself into infinity like a developer stuck in an endless Zoom meeting. The poor function is pushing that boulder of `n * factorial(n - 1)` up the hill forever, watching it roll back down with each recursive call, never reaching that sweet, sweet `return` statement that would set it free. It's the programming equivalent of asking "are we there yet?" on a road trip that never ends because nobody remembered to put gas in the car. Spoiler alert: it ends when your call stack explodes and the universe implodes. 💥
