The Solution

When RAM prices are through the roof and your code is leaking memory faster than you can say "memory management," just slap an SD card into your DDR5 slot. Problem solved! Who needs actual RAM when you can have storage pretending to be memory at a fraction of the speed? Sure, your computer will run like it's stuck in molasses, but hey, at least it'll fit "all sizes" from 4GB to 256GB. Nothing screams "quality engineering" quite like a DDR5 stick with an SD card slot on it from AliExpress. Your swap file is gonna have a field day with this one.

That yellow cable jammed into what's clearly not its matching port is the digital equivalent of putting pineapple on pizza. The blue tape-wrapped wires crammed into random pins would make any network engineer develop an eye twitch. Next up: "Firewalls are just a myth created by antivirus companies" and "Have you tried connecting your HDMI to the toilet? Works fine for me!"
