My Heart Is Bleeding

Ah, the infamous memcpy() function - the digital equivalent of handing scissors to a toddler. For the uninitiated, this meme references the notorious Heartbleed vulnerability that rocked the security world in 2014. When someone uses memcpy(bp, pl, payload) without proper bounds checking, they're basically saying "here's my memory, take whatever you want!" The terrified Squidward face perfectly captures that moment when you realize your opponent can read arbitrary memory chunks and steal sensitive data like private keys. Nothing says "game over" quite like discovering someone can peek at your server's memory like it's an open book.

This Saves Two Cycles (And My Employment)

Someone's job security strategy is absolutely chef's kiss . Instead of writing clean, maintainable code, they've created a function that always returns 2, labeled it as "job security," and then made two helper functions that literally copy memory addresses to change the return value. Nothing says "I'll never be fired" like writing code that only you understand and using memcpy() to overwrite function implementations instead of, you know, just changing the original function. Because why write one line of code when you can write twenty that require a hazmat suit to maintain? Bonus points for the "NEVER call this function" comments that scream "I'm the only one who knows which landmines not to step on." Pure evil genius at work here.
