Ah yes, the classic "we need a random number generator" dilemma solved by... *checks notes*... a wall of lava lamps? Fun fact: Cloudflare actually uses a wall of lava lamps to generate truly random numbers for encryption. The unpredictable movement of the blobs creates entropy that's photographed and converted to random data. Meanwhile, the developer who suggested this bizarre solution is now getting side-eye from colleagues who were probably expecting Math.random() like normal people. But hey, sometimes the weirdest solutions are the most secure ones.
