When your operating system manual casually transitions from "Having Children" to "Watching Your Children Die" in the process management section, you know you're dealing with some dark humor.

The meme brilliantly plays on the parallel between human relationships and computer processes. In Unix/Linux systems, a parent process "forks" to create child processes, and sometimes has to "kill" them or watch them "die" when they misbehave.

That section on "Killing Yourself" is just process termination, but out of context? Pure psychopath energy. No wonder developers stare blankly into the void sometimes—we're just following the documentation.
