The Brain's Destructive Solution

The first three panels show organs doing their actual jobs—lungs give air, heart pumps blood, liver filters toxins. Then the brain, that magnificent organ responsible for all our intelligence, just says "Drop the database."

Public Service Announcement (Of Doom)

Are you TRYING to trigger every Python developer's PEP 8 compliance alarm?! The Python style guide SPECIFICALLY says imports should be at module level with NO INDENTATION! This is the coding equivalent of putting pineapple on pizza and calling it "authentic Italian cuisine." I can't even! My eye is literally twitching right now. Someone please revoke this man's programming license IMMEDIATELY!

Next time your app breaks, just remember: maybe the developer really did expect you to lick your screen. Tastes like debugging tears.
