So that's what's holding up the internet - a precarious tower of technology balanced on Linus Torvalds' shoulders with a random shark at the DNS level. Turns out those underwater cables aren't the most concerning part of our infrastructure. The real MVP is that shark guarding the DNS servers while C developers write dynamic arrays, Rust devs do their thing, and some web dev quietly sabotages himself in the corner. Meanwhile, unpaid open source developers and "whatever Microsoft is doing" somehow keep this Jenga tower from collapsing. Sleep well tonight knowing your entire digital existence depends on this absurd tech stack and one very dedicated fish.

Finally, a technical diagram that's actually accurate! The internet isn't some magical series of tubes - it's a precarious tower of hacks built on the backs of sleep-deprived C developers and powered by cat photos. Love how the foundation is literally just "ELECTRICITY" with Linus Torvalds somehow holding it all together. And that breakdown of internet traffic? 50% cats, 25% games, 20% scams, 4% Rust devs being smug, and a measly 1% actual knowledge. Sounds about right. My favorite part is "web dev sabotaging myself" - nothing like spending 6 hours debugging only to find you misspelled a variable. Meanwhile, unpaid open-source developers are literally holding up the entire structure while AWS collects the check. Next time someone asks me to explain how the internet works, I'm just sending them this instead of giving my usual "it's complicated" speech.

Ever wondered what actually powers the internet? Turns out it's a magnificent Jenga tower of questionable engineering decisions! From the foundation of electricity (thanks Linus Torvalds and... IBM?) to C developers crafting dynamic arrays with the precision of a caffeinated squirrel. The entire stack balances precariously on unpaid open-source devs while web developers actively sabotage themselves at the top. Meanwhile, Rust devs are just vibing in their own corner with their memory-safe rocket, and whatever Microsoft is doing with that angry bird is probably best left unexamined. My favorite part? Nuclear waste apparently converts to "cookies for fish." The perfect metaphor for legacy code - dangerous, incomprehensible, yet somehow still functional!
